Client & Candidate Communication

Q: Does a recruiter still need to be involved?

Yes, recruiters still make judgment calls on fit and conduct screening calls; the automation handles the surrounding messaging and admin.

Q: Will this work with the tools our agency already uses?

It is built around common recruiting tools such as CRM, email, scheduling, and video call platforms already in place.

Q: What happens to our existing candidate and client records?

Existing records stay in place and are updated going forward rather than replaced or migrated.

Q: What if a client or candidate does not respond as expected?

The automation follows up automatically and flags the case for a recruiter to step in if a response still does not arrive.

Automated updates replace manual chasing so recruiters spend time placing people, not writing status emails.
