The challenge

Recruiters were losing half their day to admin instead of placing candidates, and the team was about to take on a hire they did not really need.

What we built

As their AI partner, we built a workforce of seven custom AI agents covering sourcing, candidate updates, CRM hygiene, interview scheduling and compliance, then got the team running it day to day.

The story

A twelve-person recruitment agency where the consultants, the people who actually bring in revenue, were spending half of every day on admin. Updating the CRM, chasing candidates, booking interviews, keeping compliance straight. The work was piling up and the obvious answer was to hire another coordinator.

Instead, they brought us on as their AI partner. We built them a workforce of seven custom AI agents and trained the team to run it. Sourcing ran in the background, candidates were kept warm automatically, the CRM stayed clean without anyone touching it, and interviews booked themselves. The admin did not get faster, it disappeared. Within ninety days the desk was placing more than ever, every consultant had their week back, and the hire they were about to make was off the table.
