Sixley

Sixley helps employers generate better candidates by actively working their networks — including employees, alumni and wider communities — rather than relying solely on inbound applications.

For every role, Sixley deploys a digital headhunter that asks for recommendations, follows up intelligently, and surfaces relevant candidates through trusted connections. This allows organisations to tap into “warm” talent pools at scale, instead of filtering large volumes of low-relevance applicants.

Importantly, Sixley works alongside your existing employee referral scheme and budget. There’s no need to redesign your programme — it simply increases reach, participation and results from what you already have in place.

The platform makes it easy for individuals to recommend someone, express interest themselves, or share roles with the right people. AI powers the outreach, follow-ups and candidate capture, ensuring consistent engagement without adding manual effort for recruiters.

Sixley integrates into the hiring workflow to support job promotion, candidate generation, engagement and qualification. The result is a more efficient and scalable way to access high-quality candidates, improving hiring outcomes while reducing cost per hire.

Sixley was developed alongside BT’s recruitment teams and is used by organisations ranging from 250 to over 100,000 employees.
