Unifying a niche recruiting agency and industry job board for Flexo Finders × Print Convert Network.

Flexo Finders and its sister platform, Print Convert Network, connect flexographic printing, packaging, and converting companies across the US and Canada with hard-to-find technical talent—from narrow- and wide-web press operators to ink technicians and plant managers. We architected a 90-day strategic transformation that bridges both domains into one cohesive talent ecosystem, remedies conversion leaks, automates job-board and CRM data flows, and deploys Scout AI as an on-site career and resume copilot.

Scout AI Copilot · Cross-Domain Job & CRM Sync

  • 2 → 1

    Connected brand ecosystem

    Bridged Flexo Finders (full-service recruiting) and Print Convert Network (industry job board) to share domain authority, traffic, and live job listings.

    Context-aware assistant that reads active PCN job feeds, evaluates press & converting resumes, and coaches candidates through technical interviews.

  • 6 / 6

    Funnel leaks resolved

    Eliminated dead-end sitemap paths, slow mobile loads, missing above-the-fold CTAs, and unclear value propositions across the digital funnel.

  • Real-Time

    Job feed & CRM pipeline sync

    Replaced manual lead copy with direct form-to-CRM contact creation and instant Slack/email notifications the moment employers or candidates reach out.

The Strategic Challenge

Two respected industry properties, operating like islands.

In specialized manufacturing sectors like flexographic printing, labels, flexible packaging, and corrugated converting, skilled press operators and supervisors are scarce. Flexo Finders had deep recruiter relationships and a companion job board in Print Convert Network—but disconnected digital infrastructure was creating manual friction and leaking high-intent leads.

Before · Siloed Domains & Manual Friction

High-value traffic lost to funnel leaks and manual copy-paste

  • Unbridged sister domains: Flexo Finders and Print Convert Network operated separately without unified job feeds, cross-domain SEO authority pathways, or shared employer portals.
  • Manual lead transfer to CRM: Employer hiring inquiries and candidate submissions required manual copying into contact cards, delaying recruiter response times.
  • Conversion & sitemap leaks: Key landing pages lacked immediate above-the-fold routing for the two distinct audiences (hiring plant managers vs. job-seeking operators) and ended in dead-end pages.
  • Static candidate experience: Skilled tradespeople browsing roles after shift hours had no interactive way to match their press experience against open listings or tune their resumes on the spot.

After · Connected Ecosystem & Scout AI

An automated talent pipeline from first visit to recruiter handoff

  • Cross-domain authority bridge: Live job feeds and structured JobPosting schema connect Print Convert Network and Flexo Finders, compounding search rankings and referral flow across both brands.
  • Scout AI candidate copilot: Visitors can query live flexo openings, run instant diagnostic checks on their resumes (e.g., Nilpeter/Bobst press experience, UV ink systems, anilox roll calibration), and practice technical interview questions.
  • Zero-leak conversion architecture: Every page features a clear 3-second value proposition, above-the-fold dual CTAs for employers and candidates, sub-3-second mobile performance, and zero dead ends.
  • Instant CRM sync & rep alerts: Form captures write directly to CRM contact cards and trigger immediate Slack/email alerts so recruiters engage top talent before competitors do.

Inside the System

Four pillars of the Flexo Finders × PCN blueprint.

Rather than treating web design, search authority, and recruiting operations as separate projects, we aligned Advisory, Studio, and Labs around a unified 90-day Build · Connect · Grow architecture.

  • 01 Studio + Labs · Ecosystem Bridge

    Cross-domain integration & live job board sync

    We architected a technical and editorial bridge between Flexo Finders and Print Convert Network so both sites reinforce each other's organic authority and share live talent inventory.

    • Automatic synchronization of active press, prepress, and converting listings from PCN
    • Dedicated company profiles, employer portal bridges, and reciprocal domain linking
    • Structured schema markup engineered for niche printing and packaging search terms
  • 02 Candor Labs · Scout AI Pilot

    Scout AI context-aware career & resume copilot

    Deployed as an exclusive pilot on the web architecture, Scout AI reads active job feeds and site updates to turn passive job browsing into an interactive, high-converting consultation.

    • Matches candidates to open regional roles with transparent hourly and salary ranges
    • Parses resumes to spot technical strengths and keyword gaps (e.g., anilox volume, water-based & UV inks)
    • Runs interactive technical interview prep tailored to flexo press and converting roles
    • Strict privacy controls that anonymize sensitive data for confidential job seekers
  • 03 Advisory + Studio · Funnel Engineering

    6-point digital funnel leak remediation

    Before writing a line of code, we audited the entire revenue funnel across conversion clarity, tech-stack connectivity, and mobile performance to plug every point where employers or candidates dropped off.

    • Above-the-fold CTA hierarchy separating employer talent requests from candidate submissions
    • Headline clarity engineered to communicate niche authority within 3 seconds of landing
    • Sub-3-second mobile rendering and a dynamic sitemap with zero dead-end pages
  • 04 Candor Labs · Pipeline Automation

    Automated CRM sync & instant recruiter triggers

    In specialized recruiting, speed to lead determines who places the candidate. We connected frontend capture points directly to the back-office CRM and notification channels.

    • Direct form-to-CRM contact card creation eliminating manual copy-paste busywork
    • Automated Slack and email alerts routed to recruiters the second a high-value lead submits
    • 90-day diagnostic checkpoints to review search rankings, engagement, and lead velocity
