Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI screen CVs for a recruitment agency? ▼
The system receives CVs via email or ATS webhook. Claude API reads each CV against a structured job requirements rubric, scores on 10 criteria, flags red flags, and ranks candidates. 200 CVs take 15–20 minutes. The output is a ranked shortlist with 3-line summaries.
Can AI write personalized outreach to candidates? ▼
Yes. The system pulls candidate profile data, combines with job details, and generates personalized 3-paragraph outreach. Response rates are typically higher than templated mass outreach because messages reference specific experience matches.
What is the ROI of automating a recruitment agency? ▼
CV screening alone saves 30–50 hours/month per recruiter. With automation, recruiters handle 2× the volume of positions. For a 3-person team, this effectively adds capacity of 1.5 recruiters without hiring.
