AI automation for recruitment agencies

AI Automation for Recruitment Agencies

Recruitment agencies automate CV screening against role requirements, candidate progress updates, and timesheet chasing for contractors. Consultants typically spend six to ten hours a week on these, and almost all of it can be recovered without changing your applicant tracking system.

Most projects cost £1,500 to £12,000. Fixed quote before any work starts.

Where to start

Three workflows worth automating first.

01

First-pass CV screening

Applications are read against the actual requirements of the role and sorted into a shortlist with reasons attached. A consultant makes every real decision, but starts from an ordered list rather than an inbox.

02

Keeping candidates updated

Candidates hear back at every stage instead of going silent, which is the most common complaint about agencies and the most common reason good candidates disengage.

03

Timesheet chasing

Contractors who have not submitted timesheets are chased automatically before payroll closes, so invoicing is not delayed by someone forgetting.

Pricing

£1,500 to £12,000 for most projects.

That is $1,900 to $15,000 if you prefer dollars, and it is the total project cost rather than a weekly rate. Ongoing support is £300 / $380 per month and entirely optional. You get a fixed quote in writing after the free audit.

We are cheaper than most agencies because we use AI to do the building. Every piece of work is reviewed by a person before it reaches you.

Questions

Questions from this sector

What can recruitment agencies automate?

First-pass CV screening, candidate progress updates, and timesheet chasing for contractors. These three take up most of the administrative time in a desk consultant's week and none of them require judgement that a consultant must personally apply.

Is it fair to screen CVs with AI?

It is if it is built carefully and checked. Screening should be against stated role requirements, never against personal characteristics, and the reasoning should be visible so a consultant can overrule it. We build it so a human makes every rejection decision, not the automation.

Does it work with my applicant tracking system?

Most likely. Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder and Recruit CRM can all be connected. If yours is unusual we will confirm during the free audit, before you commit to anything.
