Case Study: Video software company Piksel achieves faster, more cost-effective, candidate-centric hiring with Breezy HR

Moving Forward by Focusing Inward

Piksel, a 650‑employee video software and services provider headquartered in York, faced a costly, slow recruitment model that relied heavily on external agencies (roughly £8k per hire) and left candidates waiting for weeks. Ben Coupland, Recruitment Business Partner at Piksel, needed to move hiring in‑house, improve the candidate experience, and create a team‑based, collaborative process — goals he pursued using Breezy HR’s recruiting platform.

Breezy HR delivered a Kanban-style ATS with automated stage actions, in-app team chats, hiring hierarchies, and mobile careers pages, enabling hiring managers to collaborate, build questionnaires, and respond quickly to applicants. As a result, Piksel shortened candidate feedback loops to as little as 24 hours, eliminated communication breakdowns, and began reducing reliance on expensive agencies while making faster, more consistent hiring decisions.
