How SmartRecruiters and HirePort Are Transforming Agency Recruitment

When it comes to talent acquisition, one of the major problems for enterprises has always been agency recruitment. Agency workflows have traditionally lived outside of ATS platforms which lead to inefficiencies, hidden costs, and a lack of visibility.

That’s why the new integration between SmartRecruiters and HirePort is such a big step forward. By embedding HirePort’s advanced agency management solution directly into the SmartRecruiters Talent Acquisition Suite, enterprises can finally standardize agency workflows, ensure compliance, and optimize spend—all within their ATS.

Bringing Agency Recruitment Into the ATS

With this integration, SmartRecruiters is now an enterprise-grade ATS offering a truly comprehensive agency management suite. Instead of relying on fragmented processes, talent acquisition teams can manage everything from contracts and job distribution to performance tracking in one place– in the SmartRecruiters Talent Acquisition Suite.

Remco van de Ruit, Co-founder at HirePort, explains:

“For too long, agency recruitment has bypassed the ATS ecosystem entirely, creating fragmented workflows and hidden costs. By integrating agency management directly within SmartRecruiters, we’re eliminating friction while giving organizations the visibility and control they’ve been missing.”

Early Enterprise Success

Leading enterprises including Amazon, Abano Healthcare, and IMAD have already deployed the integrated solution with impressive results.

• Amazon leverages HirePort’s multi-level permissions to manage thousands of delivery driver hires across its global distribution network. The global team controls contracts and job distribution, while local distribution centers collaborate directly with staffing partners like Manpower, Adecco, and Randstad all within SmartRecruiters.
  
  
  

• Other adopters, like Abano Healthcare and IMAD, are optimizing their agency operations and gaining insights that were previously out of reach.

AI-Driven Future

This partnership also sets the foundation for AI in agency recruitment. SmartRecruiters already leads with Winston, its AI-powered recruitment assistant, and HirePort is developing complementary AI capabilities to optimize agency performance and cost management.

As Alexander Leenaers, CTO at HirePort, notes:

“We’re preparing capabilities that integrate with Winston, allowing users to proactively optimize agency relationships and costs through one seamless AI-driven experience.”

“For the first time, enterprises have complete visibility and control over their agency recruitment channel, with actionable insights that were previously impossible to obtain,” adds Bram Medema, Co-founder at HirePort.

What this means for Enterprises

With HirePort now embedded into SmartRecruiters, enterprises can finally treat agency recruitment as a strategic, measurable channel rather than a black box of costs and inefficiencies. 

The result: less admin, lower costs, stronger compliance, and better hiring outcomes.

The integration is available today to enterprise customers.
