Kēhua shows the path to 90%+ candidate closure: which roles are current, which conversations need attention, and how each update moves your reputation from assumed to proven.

stronger hiring signal
Better follow-through builds trust. Candidates who feel respected apply again and refer others.
Built for the way hiring actually runs.
See every candidate. At every stage.
A live triage view of your open roles, grouped by urgency. Healthy, due soon, overdue, without opening a single ATS report.
Connects directly to JobAdder. State is always current. No manual import, no spreadsheet.
Know who's waiting before they give up.
Every candidate tracked against your response SLAs. Automatic flagging when someone's been waiting too long, by stage, by recruiter, by role.
Configurable SLA windows. Colour-coded urgency. One view that tells you exactly where to act first.
See where the process needs momentum.
Stage-level analytics that show where delays cluster, which handoffs are slow, and whether the hold-up is a recruiter issue or a process issue.
Separates hiring manager delays from recruiter gaps. Gives you evidence before the conversation.
Close every loop. Not just the wins.
Track which candidates received a final outcome, not just the ones you hired. The ones you didn't notify are the ones who talk about you.
Closure rate is one of the primary inputs to your Kēhua score. Raise it above 90% and the rest of your candidate experience has a stronger foundation.
See who's driving the score, and why.
Kēhua's internal view is private by default. No external pressure, just the data your team needs to improve together.
Individual performance scores
Each recruiter's score updated daily, response time, closure rate, SLA compliance. Visible internally, private externally.
Org score impact
See exactly how each team member is moving the team total, in points. Makes the stakes concrete without being punitive.
Context-aware reporting
Distinguishes hiring manager delays from recruiter gaps. If post-interview is slow because of a hiring manager, it says so.
What-if modelling
Shows the score improvement available from specific closure gains. “If this recruiter reaches 90% closure, your org score moves into the top tier.”
Better process. Better rank. Better talent.
Org score
Your score is visible to candidates searching roles. Earned through consistent communication, not spend or scale. Candidates use it to decide where to apply.
Recruiter badge
Claimable once you hit 60+. Three tiers based on your score. Shareable on LinkedIn, in email signatures, on your agency profile. Quarterly refresh keeps it honest.
Public leaderboard
Ranked by candidate experience, not company size or ad spend. The organisations at the top earned it by closing the loop. The rank follows the behaviour.
They could finally see it.
