personas

    pains:
    • Recruiters cannot screen the full candidate pool quickly enough to win requisitions.
    • Scaling recruiter headcount increases delivery costs before placement revenue arrives.
  • title: Recruiting operations leader
    pains:
    • Phone screens and follow-ups consume recruiter time across multiple channels.
    • A generic screening process can miss the criteria and judgment specific to each desk.
  • title: Healthcare staffing desk lead
    pains:
    • Locum tenens requisitions require rapid candidate engagement and qualification.
    • Missed calls and slow follow-up delay a shortlist.

icp

  • text: Accelerate delivery of qualified shortlists.
  • text: Increase screening capacity with AI interviews.

objections

  • objection: Will an AI agent reflect how our recruiters qualify candidates?
    response: Evaluate a pilot against the desk's own screening criteria and review its shortlist with a recruiter.
  • objection: Will automation damage candidate experience?
    response: Review real call and follow-up examples and measure candidate responses before expanding.
