Smart AI Live Now|The Future of AI Recruitment
VeloRecruit is the managed recruitment platform built to cut the huge cost of high-street placement fees. Get pre-vetted, interview-ready local talent shortlists.
"VeloRecruit wasn't built in a boardroom; it was built out of a simple observation: SME recruitment was broken. I saw UK business owners losing thousands in redundant agency fees while brilliant local candidates were being lost in the 'black hole' of applicant tracking systems."
Founded in late 2025 by Neil Blanchard, the platform was developed as a solo mission to fix the UK's disconnected job market. Neil's drive was simple: Create the ultimate recruitment alternative for small businesses—giving them the power of a Tier-1 HR department at a fraction of the cost.
"I wanted to build something that put the 'Human' back into Human Resources, powered by the most sophisticated AI screening available. VeloRecruit is about professional clarity. It's about ensuring that the right person finds the right seat, every single time, without paying a 15-20% commission."
- Neil Blanchard
Founder & Lead Architect
VeloRecruit's parent identity, Hudsys Ltd, was founded as a professional tribute to Neil's son, Hudson - a reminder that we build for the future.
