AI automation for recruitment agencies
Recruitment is a throughput game: the faster you screen, schedule and stay in touch, the more placements you make. I build AI workflows that take the manual screening, interview scheduling and candidate follow-up off the desk so consultants spend their time on relationships. Workflow automation for recruitment agencies, wired into your ATS.
CV screening & shortlisting
Parse applications against the brief and surface the candidates worth a call.
Interview scheduling
Coordinate candidate and client diaries without the back-and-forth.
Candidate & client follow-up
Keep both sides warm with timely, drafted updates.
What can AI automate in a recruitment agency?
The throughput work: parsing applications against the brief and surfacing the candidates worth a call, interview scheduling without the diary tennis, drafted candidate and client follow-ups. Consultants keep the relationships; the system keeps the pipeline moving.
Is automated CV screening fair, and compliant?
The system sorts and summarises; people decide. Every application gets read, acknowledged and routed, nothing is auto-rejected, and candidate data is handled to UK GDPR inside your own ATS and inbox.
Which AI model does it use?
Your call: the builds are LLM-agnostic. OpenAI, Anthropic or a locally hosted model can sit underneath, and the system is designed so swapping the model later doesn't mean rebuilding the workflow.
How much does AI automation cost for a recruitment agency?
A fixed price, agreed before anything starts. The first build carries no fee: I fix one real thing at no cost, and it's yours either way. After that, small fixes start at £220, a small workflow at £450, and an AI audit and roadmap is £650, credited toward the build it scopes. A fixed-scope build sprint (one workflow, built and shipped in 4-8 weeks) anchors at £4,500, payable in three monthly instalments, and a larger app build at £12,000.
