Staffing Agencies 90-day fee/work pause

Your best closers are stuck scheduling interviews at 10pm.

65% of recruiter time is spent on admin instead of selling and closing. AI workers can handle that coordination end-to-end.

AI workers take over the routine work of this role, while your team keeps the judgment calls. AI workers handle resume screening, interview scheduling, and candidate communication end-to-end.

Target go-live: about 30 days from kickoff. Your timeline is set in your SOW.

01 65% Time on Admin
02 200+ Resumes/Role
03 3-5 days Response Time
The challenge

Your daily reality

The hidden costs of manual recruiting that hurt your billable hours.

01

Admin Overload

Recruiters spend 65% of their time on admin (scheduling, sourcing, data entry) instead of selling and closing — your best closers are stuck doing receptionist work

02

Screening Bottleneck

200+ resumes per role and nobody has time to screen them properly — good candidates slip through the cracks while you chase the same 5 people

03

Ghosting Problem

Candidate ghosting is out of control because response times are 3-5 days — top talent accepts other offers while you're still scheduling interviews

04

Coordinator Capacity

Four coordinators spend their days in Calendly and your ATS instead of moving candidates through the pipeline

Handled by AI workers

Routine workflows, handled by AI workers with a named person for exceptions

We don't assist with recruiting admin. We handle it completely.

Resume Screening & Shortlisting
Before — manual

Job posted → 200 applications land → Recruiter manually reviews each resume → Shortlist 10-15 candidates → Schedule screening calls → Meanwhile 5 top candidates accept other offers (3-5 days delay)

After — handed to AI

Job posted → AI screens resumes against requirements → AI shortlists candidates → AI schedules interviews → AI sends personalized follow-up

Interview Scheduling
Before — manual

Candidate shortlisted → Recruiter checks calendar availability → Email candidate 3-4 times → Back and forth to find slot → Send calendar invites → Send prep materials → Reminder emails (8 steps, 2-3 days)

After — handed to AI

AI coordinates calendar → AI proposes times → One confirmation → AI sends all materials → AI handles rescheduling

Candidate Communication Pipeline
Before — manual

Candidate applies → Wait 3-5 days for response → If rejected, generic email → If passed to hiring manager, more waiting → Offer stage, more back-and-forth (high drop-off at every stage)

After — handed to AI

AI drafts applicant responses → AI provides status updates → AI routes offer negotiation → AI manages onboarding prep

Tools vs. workstreams

Why not just use [industry tool]?

Good question. Here's the difference between adding tools and replacing workstreams.

Greenhouse / Lever Automation

ATS workflow optimization

— Automated workflows exist but still require humans to screen resumes, evaluate candidates, and handle scheduling negotiations
Leverwork

Leverwork handles the entire screening and scheduling workflow — AI evaluates candidates against job requirements and coordinates all logistics.

Calendly for Recruiting

Scheduling tool

— Solves one small piece (scheduling) but doesn't help with screening, candidate communication, or ATS hygiene
Leverwork

Full integration with Bullhorn, Greenhouse, and LinkedIn Recruiter. End-to-end recruiting operations.

Offshore Recruiting Coordinators

Outsourced recruiting support

— Timezone handoffs, training, and communication quality still need close management
Leverwork

AI follows the same screening, scheduling, and candidate communication rules.

Illustrative scenario

A 48-person staffing agency with coordinators spending 70% of their day in Calendly and Bullhorn — while candidates accepted other offers mid-scheduling — could expect Leverwork to take over resume screening, interview scheduling, and candidate communication.

Honest fit

Is Leverwork right for you?

Honest answer: sometimes we're not.

This works best if…

  • Staffing agencies with 5+ recruiters
  • Agencies using Bullhorn, Greenhouse, or Lever
  • Teams spending 50%+ of time on admin and coordination
  • High-volume roles (50+ applicants per opening)

Not ideal if…

— Boutique agencies with under 3 recruiters, executive search (low volume, high-touch), or firms where recruiters already do their own scheduling efficiently. Also not ideal if you want AI to support (not replace) your recruiter workflows.
