The modern hiring software for UK care providers. Cut your time-to-hire in half. Stay CIW and CQC-ready always. Get back to looking after people.
How a typical hire flows through Altis, from job posted to start date confirmed.
Your branding, your jobs, your care managers and their patches. Two to four weeks, end to end. We do the heavy lifting.
CVs scored against the job. References chased, flagged, returned. DBS and Right to Work tracked. The grind, done for you.
Every move, hold, offer or rejection is yours. Everything logged for CIW. So you can hire faster and sleep at night.
Modelled with our founding customers. We'll walk you through the working in your demo — no fluff, no overclaim.
Altis is in its founding-customer phase. The figures above are modelled outcomes based on the time savings our founding customers are working with. We'd rather show you the model in your demo than put a logo wall up.
The software does the donkey work. Sorting, scoring, drafting, chasing. But the decisions — to interview, to offer, to hold, to reject — those stay with you. No auto-rejects. No surprises.
Most hiring tools were made for sales recruitment and adapted later. Altis was built around DBS, Right to Work, care manager sign-off and CIW from day one. Compliance lives in every screen.
Every screen built with recruiters and care managers running real patches. If something doesn't survive a live Tuesday morning, it gets rebuilt. Or removed.
Altis ATS is live. OPS ships H2 2026. Cyber Essentials Plus is in progress. ISO 27001 is on the roadmap. We tell you exactly where we are. You decide if it fits.
Built right. Hosted in the UK. Aligned with how care works.
We're in our founding-customer phase — working closely with a small number of UK care providers, and built on infrastructure trusted by thousands of companies worldwide.
A family-owned, CIW-regulated care provider in South Wales, supporting people in their own homes since 2011 — across Cardiff, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Neath Port Talbot and Powys. With 220+ trained staff, Seren is our proving ground: every feature in Altis ATS is built, tested and signed off against their real hiring, on real Tuesday mornings.
Built on infrastructure you can trust
Aligned with the regulations that matter
We name our partners and our one founding customer because they're real. We won't put up a wall of logos we haven't earned — when we have more customers, you'll meet them by name.
ATS for hiring. OPS for running the service. One workspace. One compliance file. One bill.
Applicant tracking · Recruitment
AI parses CVs, scores candidates against the role, sequences references and compliance, and surfaces what's stuck. You make every move — drag-and-drop is replaced with deliberate, audit-trailed clicks.
Operations · Workforce management
Once you've placed the carer, you have to actually run the rota, log visits, track ongoing compliance, pay people, and bill the council. OPS is being designed alongside the ATS — same workspace, same compliance backbone, no double data entry.
Nine things Altis does today. Each one designed for a world where every hiring decision has to stand up to scrutiny.
CVs read on arrival. Scored against the job's actual requirements, with the working shown — no black-box verdicts.
A simple traffic-light system. Green means ready, amber means waiting, red means stuck. You spot problems before they become problems.
The candidate gives consent, the referee replies via a secure link. The software spots any odd patterns. You give the final verdict.
Book the interview, send the reminders, score against your questions, log the outcome. All in one place. Care manager kept in the loop.
A clean, simple screen for care managers — just the candidates on their patch, approve or query. No fluff.
Candidates log in to see where their application is, upload documents, manage references. You stop being a copy-paste machine on email.
CIW readiness, time-to-hire, what you're spending — the answers your senior team actually want, on the screen when they log in.
DBS, Right to Work, ID, training records — all in the hiring flow, not a binder under your desk. Ready for inspection day.
Your workspace, your branding, your questions, your team's roles. Configured once with you and ready for the way you work.
Most care providers run hiring on email, spreadsheets and binders. Some bolt on a generic ATS. Here's how Altis compares.
Founding customers get a team that ships. Not a roadmap that slips.
Jobs now route to a named care manager. Picker dropdown in the job header. Email FYI when interviews are scheduled in their patch.
Schedule modal, day-before reminders, reschedule and cancel flows. Workspace-aware office addresses on every email.
Every transactional email threaded with the workspace's logo, primary colour, and sender name. All 13 templates updated.
Upstash Redis-backed rate limits on CV parsing and AI scoring. 15 requests per IP per 10 min. No more runaway costs.
Founding customers get a private changelog and direct line to the build team.
One of us runs a care company. The other makes software simple. Together we made Altis for the way care actually hires.
Altis started with a simple frustration. The hiring software out there was clunky, built without any real sense of how recruitment flows, and none of it was made for care. So we built the thing that should have existed all along.
We're at an early stage, and proud of it. ATS is live. OPS is shipping H2 2026. We'd rather have a small number of customers we know by name than chase a logo wall.
A friendly 30-minute walkthrough using your real jobs and your real candidates. Not a sales deck. Not a demo dataset.
Most hiring software bolts AI on as an afterthought. Altis is built around it — but every decision still belongs to you. The software does the prep, you make the calls, everything's logged.
How the software helps at each stage
Working away in the background. Always traceable. Never the one making the call.
Parses the CV. Scores against the job. Locates the candidate. Surfaces flags.
Reads the score breakdown. Decides whether to screen.
Drafts call script. Flags any critical-fail answers. Suggests follow-ups.
Holds the call. Captures answers. Verdict: progress or reject.
Schedules around availability. Sends reminders. Live-scores the rubric.
Runs the interview. Ticks the rubric. Pass or fail — recruiter calls it.
Sends OTP-signed link. Reads responses. Flags personal-email referees, red language.
Reviews flags. Verifies if needed. Approves the references.
Drafts offer letter. Surfaces compliance gaps to close before start date.
Approves on the patch. Recruiter sends. Hire is in the system.
Every AI action logged with actor + timestamp + reason. Every human decision logged the same way. Same audit trail, same accountability.
Recruiters do the work. Candidates track their application. Care managers sign off. Senior team sees the numbers. Four screens. Each one designed for the person using it.
Recruiter
The daily home
Dashboard, pipeline, jobs, candidates, compliance, scheduling — everything to run hiring from one tab.
Candidate
Their own portal
Applications, references, documents, CV, profile. Candidates see status, upload what's missing, manage referees.
Care manager
Sign-off, scoped
Per-patch view of the shortlist. Approve, query, or hand back. No recruiter clutter, no irrelevant jobs.
Senior team
Executive overview
CIW Reg.19 readiness, time-to-hire, hiring spend, scheduled exports. Read-only pipeline if they want detail.
Georgia opens Altis. She doesn't see ten widgets and a sales pitch — she sees the four things that need her hand today, in the order they need it. Stuck candidates are red, ready-to-advance are green, the AI has prepped the work but she's the one moving things.
Most ATS systems treat references as a checkbox. Altis treats them as a workflow — candidate consents, referees answer via a signed link with one-time-password, the AI flags free-email addresses and contradiction patterns, and you sign off the verdict. Per-workspace question template, so the questions match what your care manager actually wants to know.
Pick a slot, the candidate gets a calendar invite. Day-before reminder with reschedule and cancel buttons. Care manager gets an FYI. At the interview, scoring form has sticky live score, per-question rubric, and 8/10 threshold flagging — but the recruiter gives the final verdict, every time.
Care managers don't want an ATS. They want to see the shortlist for their patch, read what the AI and the recruiter said, and approve or query. That's it. The care manager portal strips every screen they don't need and shows the candidates awaiting their sign-off — scoped to their patch, signed off in seconds.
The senior team don't want to log into the recruiter's tool. The Altis executive overview gives them seven views — hiring overview, compliance posture, team performance, hiring spend, read-only pipeline, reports & exports, settings. CIW Reg.19 readiness sits front and centre. Auto-scheduled exports land in their inbox.
Most ATS systems treat candidates as records — Altis treats them as users. Every candidate gets their own portal with a clean home screen, application tracking, references they can chase, document uploads, CV editor, and profile. They see status in real time, you stop being a copy-paste machine on email.
Altis is built multi-tenant from the database up — every workspace runs its own branding, requirements, question templates, members, and feature flags. The pilot customer's setup doesn't constrain the next customer's setup. Settings sit behind a Settings panel: General, Members, Requirements, Features, Integrations, Billing.
CV parsing on arrival
Every CV read, structured, and scored against the job — before you open it.
Traceable AI scoring
Every number broken down by component. No black-box verdicts.
References that move
Candidate consents, referee answers via signed link + OTP, AI flags red language.
Surfaces what's stuck
Traffic lights on every stage. Cerys at 100% score but stuck 11 days? She's red, not green.
Care manager portal
Stripped sign-off view for care managers on their patch. No login confusion.
Interview scheduling
Slots, reminders, reschedules, cancellations — all from one link.
Immutable audit trail
Every move, hold, reject, offer — actor, timestamp, reason. CIW-exportable.
Your data stays yours
No training on customer data. Per-workspace isolation. UK-hosted, GDPR-aligned.
30-minute demo. Real jobs, real candidates, real flow. We'll tell you honestly whether Altis fits where you are now.
Domiciliary care. Carers visiting clients at home, across geographic patches. CIW or CQC inspections. Council-funded clients. References that drag on for weeks. Altis was made for this — not adapted from generic hiring software.

Altis implementation, end-to-end
You don't run a building of beds — you run carers across a geography. Altis is built around that: care managers cover patches, candidates are tagged by locality, the pipeline routes shortlists to the right manager for sign-off.
Care managers · By patch
DBS, Right to Work, ID verification, mandatory training, references — sequenced into the pipeline. Nothing's a separate spreadsheet, nothing's a separate binder, every record is timestamped and exportable for CIW or CQC inspection.
Rhys Llewellyn · Compliance file
Recruiting the carer is half the job. The other half — rota, visits, care plans, ongoing compliance, pay & bill — needs a workforce platform that talks to the ATS, not another silo. Altis OPS is being designed alongside the ATS, with the same founding customers, shipping H2 2026.

Altis OPS handles the day-to-day of running a care service — rota, visits, care plans, ongoing compliance, pay & bill. Designed alongside the hiring software, on the same workspace. No double data entry, no second login.
Preview mockup. Real product designed alongside founding customers, shipping H2 2026.

Time & attendance
Check-in at the client's home via QR or NFC. Geolocation verification. Late, no-show, and early-leave alerts in real time.
Care plans & visit notes
Per-client care plan with tasks, medications, and risks. Visit notes with photo evidence. Auditable, exportable, regulator-ready.
Ongoing carer compliance
DBS renewals, supervisions, spot checks, mandatory training matrix. Auto-chase before expiry, flag in advance.
Pay & bill
Timesheet to payroll to invoice. Council-funded billing, multi-rate (sleep-in, weekend, bank holiday). Sage and Xero export.
Same workspace as ATS
The carer you placed in the ATS is on the rota in OPS the same day. One identity, one compliance file, one audit trail.
Built with our founding customers. Real workflows first, configuration later.
ATS and OPS share one workspace. The day you hire a carer, they're ready to be rostered — same identity, same compliance file, no re-keying, no second system.
Altis ATS · live today
Altis OPS · in build
No integration to configure, no data sync to maintain, no carer entered twice. It's one system that happens to do two jobs — because in care, hiring and running the service are the same job.

One of us runs a care company. The other makes software simple. Together we made Altis for the way care actually hires.
Altis started with a belief: care providers deserve better software.
Nick runs Seren, a care company in South Wales. He'd tried the hiring software out there, and none of it fit. Clunky. Built for corporate HR, then bent to fit care. A pile of features that never became something you'd actually want to use.
So we built the thing that should have existed all along.
Nick brought the ground truth: a real care company, real recruiters, real compliance deadlines. Joe brought the craft: a belief that software should be simple, good-looking and easy. Together, a product built from the floor up for how care actually hires.
Our mission is simple. Make hiring one clear path, from applicant to placed, with the compliance handled along the way. Powerful, but never a chore.
And it's built around a real care company that genuinely cares. Every feature is tested against real jobs, real candidates and real CIW and CQC deadlines, where getting it wrong isn't an option.
Runs a successful South Wales care company. Brings the ground truth: how care providers really hire, what compliance actually demands, and where existing software keeps falling short.
Comes at it from design and software, with a simple belief: business tools don't have to be ugly or hard to use. Builds Altis to be powerful, and genuinely easy.
A friendly 30-minute walkthrough using your real jobs and your real candidates. Not a sales deck.
