Frederick Fox: from a website to the platform the firm runs on

Frederick Fox started with us in 2020 as a one-person firm that needed a website. Six years later, 100+ recruiters at a multi-million-dollar recruitment business run their day on Ruby, the platform we built and still develop with them.

01

Where it started

A founder on their own, with no technical team, who needed a website, a company domain and email that actually reached inboxes.

02

What it needed

As the firm grew, commission runs, P&L reporting and analytics took more and more manual work, and recruiters needed a steadier flow of leads.

03

What we built

Ruby: one internal platform that runs the firm's numbers automatically and now uses AI to find leads for the recruiting team.

What we built

The platform, piece by piece.

Scoped with the founders and delivered as releases, with testing built into each one.

Commissions, calculated

Every sales rep's commission worked out automatically, instead of by hand each period.

P&L reporting on autopilot

The firm's financial reporting produced automatically, so leadership sees the numbers without waiting on a spreadsheet.

Analytics across the business

One place to see how the firm, its teams and its recruiters are performing.

AI lead generation

AI finds and prepares leads for the recruiting team, so recruiters spend their time on candidates and clients.

How it grew

Every project earned the next one.

No big contract up front. Each piece of work was small enough to prove itself, and the relationship grew from there.

  1. 2020

    Website, company domain and email deliverability for a one-person firm.

  2. Next

    A custom job board that stays in sync with their applicant tracking system.

  3. Then

    Workflow automation across the company, and marketing development.

  4. 2024

    Ruby launches as an internal dashboard for analytics and accounting.

  5. Today

    Ruby runs commissions, P&L and AI lead generation for 100+ recruiters, and Frederick Fox places our engineers with its own customers.

Client testimonial

Six years in, and Frederick Fox is still adding engineers

Over the years, though, we've just developed so much trust… they almost feel like business partners… I hope to be in business with these guys forever.

William describes a relationship that began in 2020 with a website and email setup for a one-person firm, and grew into custom development, workflow automation and Ruby, the platform his team now runs on. Frederick Fox has since placed Dataspecc engineers with its own customers.
