RECRUITMENT & STAFFING

How an AI Research Agent Doubled Sourcing Capacity Without Growing the Team

A national recruitment firm automated candidate research, profile enrichment, and outreach drafting freeing recruiters to focus on conversations and placements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Big Picture

The firm's recruiters were spending nearly half their week researching candidates and personalizing outreach.

Finding the right people required searching across multiple sources, reviewing profiles, gathering context, and writing tailored messages. This created a major challenge before recruiters could even start meaningful conversations.

Autogility Systems built a custom AI research agent that continuously sources, enriches, scores, and prepares candidate profiles helping the team double its sourcing capacity without adding more sourcers.

CLIENT PROFILE

National Recruitment Firm

The firm specializes in mid-to-senior-level placements across technology, finance, and operations.

With 22 recruiters managing a continuous pipeline of active roles, candidate research and outreach personalization were taking up a significant part of the team's time.

The goal was simple: increase sourcing capacity without increasing the sourcing team.

The Challenge

Recruiters Were Spending Too Much Time Researching

Finding the right candidate required hours of searching, profile review, enrichment, and outreach preparation.

Recruiters were spending 40–50% of their week on research and personalization, time that could have been spent speaking with candidates and closing placements.

Discover & Audit

We analyzed the sourcing workflow, research sources, candidate signals, and the criteria used to identify strong matches.

02

Custom AI Implementation

We built an AI research agent to source, enrich, score, and prepare personalized outreach for qualified candidates.

03

Integration & Training

We connected the system with calendars and CRM workflows, then tested it across real-world scenarios before launch.
