AI Automation for Recruitment

Fill the role faster. Keep the hiring decision with a person.

We automate the admin around hiring — drafting the posting, working the sourcing lists, organising applications, booking interviews, chasing references, preparing the offer — inside Workable, Indeed, LinkedIn Recruiter or whichever system you already run. What we never automate is the decision about who gets hired.

What it is

Hiring is mostly admin. That is the part we take.

One open req generates a posting, a sourcing list, a pile of applications, a scheduling problem, a reference chase and an offer pack. Very little of that is judgment. We rebuild the admin around AI wired into your applicant tracking system, and leave the judgment where Canadian law expects it — with a named person who can explain the decision.

Built into Workable, Indeed and LinkedIn Recruiter, not bolted beside them.

AI drafts, sorts, schedules and summarises. It never rejects an applicant on its own.

Ontario employers of 25 or more must now disclose AI screening in public postings.

Every automated step is logged, so you can show how any application was handled.

How it works

From an open req to a signed offer, with the admin taken out.

01

Map

Trace one req end to end: posting, sourcing, applications, interviews, offer.

02

Connect

Wire the automation into your ATS and job boards, not a separate tool.

03

Automate

Hand the drafting, sorting, scheduling and follow-up to AI.

04

Decide

Your hiring manager reviews and chooses. Every screening step stays reviewable.

What you get

Four deliverables, one hiring process that keeps moving.

01

Posting & sourcing automation

Postings drafted from the role brief and sourcing lists built in the boards you already pay for.

02

Application triage you can audit

Applications organised, de-duplicated and summarised against the posted requirements, with every step recorded.

03

Interview scheduling

Availability, invitations, reschedules and reminders handled across everyone’s calendars.

04

Candidate communication on time

Acknowledgements, outcomes and offer packs drafted to schedule, including the 45-day post-interview notice Ontario now requires of employers with 25 or more employees.

Automating Interview Scheduling Without Losing Candidates

The step that costs the most good applicants is usually the calendar.

Case study

A Canadian staffing firm, from inbox hiring to a running pipeline.

A twenty-person agency was running every req out of a shared inbox and a spreadsheet, and losing candidates in the gap between application and first call. We moved drafting, triage and scheduling into their ATS. Recruiters went back to talking to people; the paperwork kept moving on its own.

Why recruitment automation matters

A slow hiring process gets paid for twice.

Speed

Strong candidates are usually gone before a manual process finishes booking the second interview.

Consistency

Every applicant assessed against the same posted requirements, recorded the same way, is far easier to explain later.

Cost per hire

Most of the cost sits in coordination rather than interviewing — which is exactly the part software carries well.

Figures are illustrative, drawn from general industry patterns, and not specific to any client engagement.

The cost of waiting

The vacancy is costing you now. The process is what’s slow.

An empty seat

The work does not pause while a req is open. It lands on whoever is already busiest.

Candidates who move on

An applicant left waiting on a scheduling email is usually already talking to someone faster.

A process you cannot explain

Screening nobody logged is hard to account for if an applicant, or a human rights tribunal, ever asks how it worked.

Figures are illustrative and directional, not a forecast for any specific organization.
