AI Automation for Recruitment

Your consultants are buried in admin. AI fixes that.

We build AI-powered automations that save recruitment agencies 5–10 hours per consultant per week — so your team can focus on placing candidates, not pushing paper.

✓ No obligation ✓ Results in weeks ✓ Human-in-the-loop

The recruitment admin problem nobody talks about

Your consultants didn't get into recruitment to screen 200 CVs for one role, chase candidates for interview confirmations, or manually update CRM records at 6pm on a Friday.

📄

CV screening eats hours

Every new role means sifting through dozens — or hundreds — of applications. Most aren't even close to a match.

💬

Candidate comms are a black hole

Follow-ups, interview confirmations, rejection emails, status updates. It never ends, and dropping the ball costs placements.

🗃️

Your CRM is a mess

Duplicate records, outdated contact details, missing notes. Everyone knows it's a problem. Nobody has time to fix it.

📊

Reporting feels like a second job

Weekly activity reports, client updates, pipeline summaries — all assembled manually from three different systems.

📡

Outreach doesn't scale

Your consultants know they should reach out across LinkedIn, email, and job boards simultaneously. They don't have the bandwidth.

40–60%

of consultant time on tasks that don't generate revenue

That's a systems problem.

What if your admin handled itself?

Targeted automations that plug into your existing tools and handle the repetitive work your consultants shouldn't be doing.

CV screening in seconds

AI reads, scores, and shortlists candidates against your job specs — surfacing the best matches instantly.

🤖

Candidate comms on autopilot

Auto-responses, interview scheduling, status updates, and follow-ups — all triggered automatically, all sounding human.

A CRM that actually works

Duplicate detection, data enrichment, missing field alerts. Your database cleans itself.

📈

Reports that write themselves

Weekly summaries, client pipeline updates, and activity dashboards — generated and delivered without anyone lifting a finger.

🚀

Multi-channel outreach at scale

Coordinated messaging across email, LinkedIn, and job boards — personalised, timed, and tracked.

🛡️

Human-in-the-loop always

Every automation includes human approval. Nothing goes out without your team's say-so. You stay in control.

What we automate for you.

Purpose-built automations for the tasks that eat your consultants' time every single day.

Security isn't an afterthought. It's the foundation.

Recruitment agencies handle sensitive personal data every day. We built our entire approach around that reality.

🔒 Human approval on all actions

No AI sends an email or updates a record without explicit sign-off from your team.

🔐 PII tokenisation

Personal data is tokenised before processing — names, emails, and phone numbers never pass through AI in plain text.

📋 Full audit logs

Every action, decision, and approval — logged and searchable. Perfect for compliance reviews.

🛑 Kill switches

Any automation can be paused or stopped instantly, from a single dashboard.

🏠 Your data, your control

Depending on your needs, we deploy on your own infrastructure or encrypted, EU-hosted cloud services — your choice.

🤝 Transparent by design

We walk through our full security approach during your audit call. No black boxes.

Simple, transparent pricing

Frequently asked questions

No. This isn't about replacing people — it's about freeing them from admin so they can do more of what they're good at: building relationships and making placements. AI handles the repetitive work. Your consultants handle the human work.
We work with all major recruitment platforms — Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder, Mercury, and others. Our automations plug into your existing stack via APIs and integrations. No rip-and-replace required.
Every automation includes human approval steps. Your team reviews and approves outputs before anything is sent or actioned. If something doesn't look right, it doesn't go out. Full stop.
Absolutely. PII is tokenised before AI processing, all actions are logged, and you have kill switches on every automation. Where data sensitivity requires it, we can deploy entirely on your own infrastructure — no third-party cloud involved.
Most agencies see measurable time savings within the first two weeks of a pilot going live. The full impact compounds as your team learns to trust the automations and we optimise based on real usage.
None. We handle all the technical work — design, build, deployment, and ongoing support. Your team just needs to know how to click "approve."
That's exactly what the pilot is for. Start with one high-impact automation, see the results, then expand at your own pace. Most agencies add 2–3 more automations within the first quarter.

Your consultants could be getting 5–10 hours back every week.
