The story behind Paiger, recruitment technology since 2018
Built for recruiters.
Not to replace them.
We spent years building technology for recruitment. We started Paiger because the next big opportunity wasn’t replacing recruiters. It was giving them more time for what they do best.

THE BEGINNING
From Broadbean to a garden shed.
Darren Westall spent more than a decade at Broadbean, rising from developer to CTO, and saw how much time recruiters got back when technology took repetitive work off their desks.
In 2018 he started Paiger in his garden shed, to help recruiters stay known to clients and candidates and find more reasons to start a conversation.
He knows how the tools get built, and how recruiters actually use them.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
The best part of recruitment hasn’t changed.
It’s still the consultant who knows their market, the relationship they’ve built, and the phone call at exactly the right moment. That’s the part we don’t want AI to do. We want it to find the signal, prepare the research, create the content and take care of the admin, so that when a recruiter picks up the phone, they’re ready.
