About Kaplunk
Hiring With A Conscience. Applicants First. Employers Empowered.Kaplunk was founded on a simple belief: hiring should be direct, transparent, and built around people.
As an ethical direct hiring platform, we help employers and applicants connect without the barriers, costs, and complexity often created by traditional recruitment models. For too long, employers and applicants have been separated by unnecessary intermediaries, rising recruitment costs, and systems that place third parties between talented people and great opportunities.
Our founder, Martin Bennett, saw these challenges first-hand and believed there had to be a better way.
What started as an idea has evolved into a growing movement championing ethical hiring, fair recruitment, applicant privacy, and direct employer-to-candidate engagement.
Today, Kaplunk is helping employers and applicants connect more openly, more efficiently, and with greater transparency. We believe people should be judged by their skills, experience, and potential, not by how effectively a third party can represent them.
Why Kaplunk ExistsThe world of work has changed.
Applicants increasingly want greater control over their careers, clearer visibility into how their personal information is used, and the opportunity to engage directly with employers.
At the same time, organisations are looking for more efficient and cost-effective ways to attract talent without incurring recruitment fees that can often reach thousands of pounds per hire.

Many employers are actively seeking a recruitment agency alternative that provides greater control, direct access to candidates, and a more transparent hiring process.
Kaplunk was built to bridge that gap.
We created an ethical recruitment platform where employers can engage with talent directly, strengthen their talent acquisition efforts, and connect with applicants without relying on traditional recruitment agency models.
Through direct hiring and direct recruitment, we help organisations build stronger relationships with candidates while promoting fair hiring practices that benefit everyone involved.
We believe direct employer access, transparent recruitment, and ethical hiring create better outcomes for organisations and applicants alike.
Our mission is simple: to make hiring fairer, more transparent, and more human.
Our JourneyEvery successful company begins with the belief that something can be done better.
From day one, Kaplunk has challenged the idea that hiring must be complicated, expensive, or controlled by intermediaries. We have focused on creating an ethical hiring platform that puts employers and applicants at the centre of the recruitment process.

As our community has grown, we have been genuinely humbled by the support of HR leaders, hiring managers, business owners, industry professionals, and recognised organisations that have chosen to follow our journey.
