AI for recruitment agencies
Recruitment is a speed-and-volume game — the agency that responds first and keeps candidates warm wins. Katalis helps recruiters use AI on the admin and the first-pass work, so your consultants spend their time on people, not paperwork.
There’s no one-size-fits-all AI
Yours is a business where response speed decides who wins. Enquiries arrive at all hours, and the one who replies first and follows up best gets the instruction, the viewing, or the sale. Leads go cold overnight, qualifying takes time, and writing listings or proposals competes with actually talking to people.
What you probably already use
AI slots into what you’ve got — we don’t make you rip it out and start again.
Where AI helps depends on your setup
If most enquiries come in online or after hours…
…instant, helpful replies and qualification 24/7 is the big win — no lead slips away overnight.
If you write a lot of listings or proposals…
…drafting those fast, accurately, in your style frees you to follow up while it's hot.
If follow-up is where you lose people…
…automated, well-timed follow-ups keep prospects warm without the manual chasing.
Where AI actually helps
Candidate and client enquiries come in faster than you can reply.
Every enquiry gets an instant, helpful response and gentle qualification 24/7, so nothing goes cold.
First-pass CV screening and shortlisting swallows hours.
AI drafts a shortlist and summary against your brief in minutes — a consultant reviews and decides, nothing goes out unchecked.
Scheduling interviews is endless back-and-forth.
Automated scheduling and reminders keep interviews and follow-ups moving without the email ping-pong.
Common questions
Will it connect to our CRM or ATS?
Usually yes — we fit AI around the systems you already use, like your ATS and CRM, wherever we can.
Is candidate data handled safely?
Yes — where it matters we can build private setups so nothing sensitive leaves your business, and we tell you where data goes first.
How much does it cost?
A first assistant or automation usually starts around £2,000–£5,000 plus a little each month, all + VAT. It depends on your setup, and the first chat is free.
