The business problem
What is taking too long, getting lost or being repeated?
Consultants lose time copying information between inboxes, CVs, notes and the ATS. Important context can be inconsistent, while fully automated decisions would create unacceptable operational and compliance risk.
What the team would recognise
Current process vs proposed process
Make the handoffs, decisions and ownership visible.
Current workflow
Proposed workflow
Key design decisions
Define the workflow and controls before choosing implementation details.
The technology can change. The users, decisions, permissions, handoffs and information requirements still need to be explicit.
Use AI for extraction, classification and summarisation rather than unsupervised hiring decisions
Route uncertain or sensitive cases into explicit human review
Push structured outputs into the existing ATS or CRM instead of replacing it unnecessarily
Log actions and exceptions so the workflow remains auditable
Example deliverables
What would actually be handed over.
Inbound document pipeline
CV and vacancy extraction
Structured candidate summary
Human-review queue
ATS / CRM integration
Workflow monitoring
Why the project could be worth doing
Tie the build to time, visibility, consistency or customer experience.
Example delivery phases
Test the important assumptions before rolling out more.
Data and security
Access rules are decided before delivery.
Candidate data is personal data. Any real implementation would require an agreed controller/processor model, approved sub-processors and appropriate access-location controls. See security and data handling →
Intended outcome
This is illustrative. It does not claim measured client performance.
The designed outcome is not autonomous recruitment. It is to remove low-value admin around consultants while keeping judgement, exceptions and accountability with people.
Bring the real process
A spreadsheet, sample report or process description is enough for a first conversation.
We can use a 20-minute call to decide whether software, reporting or automation is worth exploring. No polished technical specification is required.
