Our Platform
Rocket Zest
A custom recruitment platform that replaced expensive third-party tools entirely. Designed, built and maintained by Wonder Media.
A custom recruitment platform that replaced expensive third-party tools entirely. Designed, built and maintained by Wonder Media.
Post a single job to Reed, Monster, CV-Library, Find a Job, Caterer and others simultaneously
Pay for the platform, not the seats. Add ten recruiters. The price doesn't move.
We designed, built and maintain Rocket Zest. No third-party license sitting underneath - that's why there are no license fees to pass on.
Most recruitment agencies use tools like Broadbean or Logic Melon to distribute jobs across multiple boards. They work. But they come with significant license fees, per-seat pricing, and annual contracts that climb year on year. For a growing agency adding recruiters, the maths gets ugly quickly.
We built Rocket Zest because one of our long-term clients - a 45-strong recruitment group - was paying exactly those fees. They asked if we could build something better. We did. It replaced Broadbean entirely and the group never looked back.
The platform is ours. We designed it, we built it, we own the IP, and we maintain it. That means we can offer it to other recruitment businesses without the pricing model that makes the existing tools so expensive.
Log in, write the job, set the category, location, salary band and sector. All fields are structured so the data feeds cleanly into every board.
Tick which job boards to post to - Reed, Monster, CV-Library, Find a Job, Caterer. One listing, multiple destinations.
Each job has a unique email address. Our IMAP parser checks every few minutes, extracts applicant details and CVs, and assigns them to the correct job automatically.
See every applicant for every job. Download CVs, mark candidates as suitable or not, and let the automated templates handle the response emails.
Write the listing once, set the fields, choose your boards and post. One action sends it to Reed, Monster, CV-Library, Find a Job (GOV.UK) and Caterer. No logging into five different platforms.
Every job gets a unique email address. Applications come in from the boards and our IMAP parser extracts the applicant name, email, job reference and attachments - then assigns everything to the correct job automatically.
Click any job, see every applicant at a glance. Download CVs and cover letters, review details, and mark candidates as suitable or not. The whole pipeline in one place.
Pre-built email templates fire based on recruiter decisions. Suitable or not suitable - the candidate gets a professional, branded response without anyone lifting a finger.
Categories, locations, salary bands, sectors, contract types - every field a recruiter needs. Structured data that feeds cleanly into both the job boards and your own website listings.
Track posting volumes, application rates and response times across boards. See which channels are delivering and which are costing you money for nothing.
Write the listing now, set it to go live at 9 a.m. Monday - or whenever makes sense for your role, your sector, your candidates. Rocket Zest holds it in the queue and publishes on schedule across every selected board.
The people browsing job boards at 9 a.m. Monday are not the same people browsing at 4 p.m. Friday. Timing your posts takes thirty seconds. Getting it wrong costs you a week of visibility.
Brief on Monday, queue the week. Rocket Zest handles the posting while you get on with the recruiting.
Set the exact date and time each job goes live across every selected board
Reed, Monster, CV-Library, Find a Job and Caterer all go live simultaneously - not one by one
Queue multiple jobs in one session with different go-live times. Brief once, post all week
Ground Control is Rocket Zest's built-in AI writing assistant for recruitment copy. Feed it the basics and it writes job ads that actually get responses. Paste in an existing description and it flags what's hurting your application rate. Need a rejection email that doesn't burn bridges? A follow-up that gets a reply? Ground Control handles the words so you can focus on the people.
Enter the role basics - title, salary, requirements - and get a polished job ad in seconds. Choose formal, conversational, or creative tone to match your brand.
Paste in any existing job description and get an instant review. It flags weak phrasing, missing salary info, excessive requirements, and poor keyword choices that hurt your visibility on job boards.
AI-assisted email templates for every stage of the pipeline. A rejection that doesn't slam the door, an interview invite, a follow-up that actually gets a reply. One click. Professionally written.
Rocket Zest posts directly to these platforms. Additional boards can be connected as needed - if it has an API or accepts XML feeds, we can integrate it. We haven't found one we couldn't yet.
Broadbean and Logic Melon are established products with large feature sets. They work. But the costs add up quickly, especially as your team grows. For agencies that need reliable multi-board posting without the overhead, Rocket Zest is a different model entirely.

Broadbean and Logic Melon are feature-rich products with capabilities beyond what is listed here. This comparison reflects the areas most relevant to agencies evaluating their options for multi-board posting and applicant management.
Rocket Zest was originally built for a multi-sector recruitment group with 45 staff, specialist divisions across public sector, education, manufacturing and FMCG, and a turnover of £34 million. It handled their entire job distribution and applicant management workflow for years.
It's equally suited to smaller agencies that are tired of paying thousands a year for tools that do more than they need. If your team posts jobs to multiple boards and manages applications, Rocket Zest does exactly that - without the overhead.
And because we built it, we can adapt it. Need a new job board connected? A different reporting view? Integration with your existing CRM? We're the developers - just ask.
Rocket Zest has been completely rewritten from the ground up in a modern stack and is relaunching soon. Register your interest at rocketzest.com
