AI workforce for Recruiting & Staffing Sales

AI agents for sales teams in recruiting

Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your recruiting desk already uses, from re-typing a job req into the CRM to an agent that logs it, sources candidates, and chases feedback.

Recruiting desks get back the hours lost to req intake, sourcing admin, and feedback chasing.

Where you spend your time

Why Recruiting & Staffing Sales teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

What matters to you
  • Every job req answered within the hour
    New briefs from a form or a client email are logged, scoped, and acknowledged before a rival desk calls back first.
  • Passive candidates found, not just applied
    Sourcing searches the database and LinkedIn and drafts a first message to people who are not actively job hunting.
  • Shortlists out the day they're ready
    Scored candidates and salary notes are formatted into a client-ready shortlist the same day sourcing closes.
  • Feedback chased before a req goes cold
    A hiring manager who has gone quiet on a shortlist gets a follow-up nudge before the role stalls past its fill date.
  • Terms of business signed before work starts
    New client agreements and rate cards are drafted and tracked to signature, so nobody works a req on a handshake.
  • Built around your desk
    These are examples of what a recruiting sales agent can do. Build a custom agent for whatever your desk repeats.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Recruiting & Staffing Sales team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • A new job req sits in the inbox for a day because logging it, scoping the must-haves, and confirming the fee means stopping a run of candidate calls.

    An agent reads the client email or form, drafts the scoped brief and fee confirmation, and logs the req against the account, ready for the consultant's approval within about a minute of it landing.

  • Sourcing passive candidates means hours of scrolling LinkedIn and the database, then writing the same outreach message forty times with a different name at the top.

    An agent searches the database and LinkedIn against the brief, drafts a personalised first message for each match, and queues them for the consultant to send.

  • Shortlist documents get built by hand at 6pm, copy-pasting CVs and notes into a template while the client is waiting for it before their morning meeting.

    An agent scores every sourced and applied candidate against the brief and assembles the shortlist document, salary expectations and all, ready to review and send.

  • Roles go quiet because chasing a hiring manager for shortlist feedback keeps sliding behind the next new req, and by the time anyone follows up the candidate has taken another offer.

    An agent tracks every sent shortlist and drafts the feedback-chase message the moment a role passes three days with no response, so it never slips off the desk's radar.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.

WhenA client sends a new job req by email or the intake formfires within about a minute
The agent automatically

As soon as a new req lands, the agent reads the brief, pulls out the role, salary band, and must-haves, checks the client's rate card for the fee, and logs the req in the CRM with a drafted acknowledgement ready for the consultant to send, so the client gets a response within about a minute of the brief arriving.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent touching your job reqs, your candidates, and your client relationships only earns its place if you stay in control of every message it sends. Actionist is built so the consultant decides what a client or candidate sees, and nothing irreversible happens without a sign-off.

Client and candidate messages wait for approval

By default the agent drafts acknowledgements, feedback chases, and outreach and queues them for the consultant's review. Nothing reaches a client or candidate on its own unless you widen that autonomy.

Fee terms and agreements never send unreviewed

A drafted terms of business, rate card change, or client agreement is held for review before it goes out for signature, so the consultant always sees the commercial terms before a client does.

Every action is logged

Every req logged, every stage change, every outreach message, and every agreement drafted is recorded in a timestamped audit trail, so the desk lead can see exactly what the agent did and when.

Your req and candidate data stays yours

Job reqs, candidate records, and client agreements are encrypted, never used to train any model, and can be self-hosted on your own VPS if your desk's data policy requires it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does my consultant need to be technical to use this?
No. You describe the job req, the brief, or the message you want drafted in plain language, and the agent does the sourcing search, the scoring, or the drafting. Setting up an agent is closer to briefing a new resourcer than configuring software, no code involved.
How do I get started with an agent for my desk?
Book a free demo and show Actionist your CRM, your outreach style, and one live req. Within the same session you can see an agent scope the brief, search for candidates, and draft the acknowledgement, so you know exactly what it will do before it touches a real account.
How do I make a customised AI agent for something specific to my desk?
The Intake, Sourcing, Shortlist, Account, Terms, and Forecast agents shown here are examples. If your desk has a process none of them cover, such as a specific PSL reporting format or a niche sourcing workflow, you can build a custom agent for it, described in plain language and refined the way you would coach a new resourcer.
How quickly can I get Actionist set up on a live desk?
Most desks connect their CRM and inbox and have an agent scoping reqs and drafting outreach the same day. There is no lengthy integration project, because Actionist operates the apps you already use rather than replacing them.
Will it send an outreach message or a client email without me checking it first?
Only if you choose to let it. By default the agent drafts outreach, acknowledgements, and feedback chases and queues them for the consultant to review. Approval modes let you move from suggest, to ask each time, to guarded auto on the repetitive parts you trust, and anything sent to a client or candidate always asks first unless you widen that yourself.
What if our CRM or ATS has no API for Actionist to connect to?
Because Actionist uses computer use on the desktop app, it operates your CRM, inbox, and any ATS the way a consultant would, by reading the screen and taking actions directly. That means it works with older or niche recruiting systems that have no API at all, not just the ones with modern integrations.
Is candidate and client data safe if an agent has access to it?
Candidate records, client agreements, and every message drafted are encrypted and never used to train any model. Data can be self-hosted on your own VPS if your desk's compliance or data-protection policy requires it, and every action the agent takes is logged.
We just won a PSL spot with a batch of reqs attached, can an agent handle the volume?
Yes. An agent can work through a batch of reqs in one sitting, scoping each brief, setting the fee from the new rate card, and logging every one against the account, so a PSL win converts into sourcing activity the same day instead of trickling in over a week.
Does this replace our consultants?
No. The agent handles the scoping, sourcing search, shortlist formatting, and feedback chasing that eat a consultant's day. Building relationships with clients and candidates, making the call on a fit, and closing a placement stay with your team.
