Recruitment agencies
Recruitment is still a people business, and AI will not change that. What it can do is take some of the repetitive admin off your consultants: screening, formatting, drafting adverts, chasing replies and keeping records current. Used sensibly, the aim is simply to give your team more of the day back for talking to candidates and clients.
A pilot worth testing.

- Check the need
- Review repetitive admin tasks and candidate drop-off in the existing process.
- Build a test
- Test scheduling and approved factual questions with fictional candidates and human review.
- Measure success
- Measure booking accuracy, handovers and corrections.
- Keep a boundary
- Keep hiring decisions with people; test accessibility and avoid automated rejection.

Common problems AI can help with
- Screening large volumes of CVs against a brief by hand, when most applicants will never reach interview.
- Rewriting the same job advert for different boards, clients and formats over and over.
- Chasing candidates and clients manually for replies, references, availability and timesheets.
- Candidate and client records going stale because nothing updates them after a placement or rejection.
- Writing up interview notes, shortlists and submission packs from scratch for every role.
