You don't have to build this yourself.
Some customers want the software, the starter libraries and nothing else. Others want the framework, careers site, interactive maps and content handed over working. Both are normal. So is everything in between.
Fifteen years of building careers infrastructure means we're comfortable at either end — and honest about which one you actually need.
Do it yourself. Do it together. Or hand it over.
Pick the level of help you want now. Most customers move between these as their team and confidence grow.
Do it yourself
For teams who'd rather get on with it.
Starter skills, competency and role libraries mean day one isn't an empty database. Upload existing job descriptions and the software drafts roles, skills and pathway links for you to approve.
You'll be building real pathways the first afternoon.
Do it together
For teams who want a hand with the hard part.
Guided onboarding with a named person: agree the role architecture, build your first pathways together, and train admins and managers on the bits that matter.
The six-month framework project becomes a few structured sessions.
Hand it over
For teams who don't have the capacity.
We design, build, write, host, maintain and update the careers experience. If you want it, we'll build the framework too and migrate what you already have.
An HR team of one can still launch a careers experience with a whole studio behind it.
Included as standard. Not “available as a package.”
Everything needed to start with substance.
Plus, during our launch phase: standard onboarding remains permanently included.
Managed for the life of the agreement.
Commission a separate project and we'll quote for the extra work. Build a website with us and our software is included; powering your website from one admin source.
And here's what isn't included — with the reasons.
We scope it, price it, and wait for written approval. No creeping invoices and no surprise “that'll be extra” after the fact.
Bespoke content
Content creation beyond the standard page set.
Specialist media
Complex 3D, long-form video, voiceover and bespoke animation.
Custom illustration
Visual work outside our standard framework.
Extra revisions
Rounds beyond those agreed at the outset.
Framework builds
Managed engagements beyond standard onboarding.
The things people actually worry about.
“We don't have a competency framework.”
Most customers don't. That's why the software ships with starter libraries, drafts from your existing job descriptions, and a hand-it-over route.
“Our last website project stalled.”
We run a plan with dates, one named decision-maker, agreed revision rounds and a defined acceptance step so the project actually finishes.
“Our last careers map became out of date.”
Ours reads from live career data. Edit a role once and see the pathways in the software update straightaway.
“What happens if our main contact leaves — yours or ours?”
Everything about how your platform is configured lives in the platform, not in someone's head: your role architecture, pathway logic, content and settings are all documented in the system and exportable at any time. On our side, the people who scope your project deliver it and stay with it, and no project depends on a single individual's memory. On yours, a new starter can pick up a fully documented configuration rather than an inheritance of guesswork.
“Procurement will have questions.”
Good. Our Trust Pack is available before you commit, alongside published pricing, UK-hosting detail and our accessibility target.
“How do we know we'll get value?”
The free Career Visibility Review scores where you are now, and the demo shows your own job descriptions becoming a career map.
Support from the people who built it.
No outsourced call centre and no first-line script. You reach people who know the product because they made it.
A named team
Work with people who understand your setup and objectives.
No scripted hand-off
Questions reach the people responsible for the platform.
Operational commitments to confirm
Support channels, hours, first-response targets, availability and any service-credit position must match the final contract schedule.
The client list is the argument.
We've had excellent feedback from members since launching the Spirited Careers website. The CareerPaths team are experts in the careers and recruitment space.
Extremely professional, responsive to our requirements… a fantastic team of designers, developers and project managers.
We have worked with the team at CareerPaths for 15+ years… the Tasty Careers website is often cited as a leading example.
Before we start.
How long until we're live?
Career Visibility Software can produce a working draft in days. Careers websites and interactive tools follow a project plan agreed at the outset; a typical range still needs confirming before publication.
Who will we actually work with?
A named person from our team, and the same people throughout — not a handover from sales to implementation to support.
Can you migrate what we already have?
Yes. Job descriptions, competency frameworks, role documents and careers content are usually where we start.
Can we start with one department?
Yes. Pilot with one business area, then expand once it is working.
What happens after launch?
Websites and tools remain supported and maintained. Your team controls the software's live career data, with our support when needed.
Do you offer training?
Yes! We provide onboarding, 1:1 training and ongoing support using a combination of live and recorded training sessions. Setup and standard onboarding included as our launch offer. Industry starter packs with detailed job roles, competencies and skills available to get you started.
Tell us how much of this you want to do yourself.
Thirty minutes on a call and we'll tell you honestly which route fits your team, timescale and budget — including if that's the cheapest one.
