Close Faster: How Top Agencies Boost Placement Rates with AI

In the world of recruitment, the true value of an agency isn't just finding candidates, it's building relationships. The best recruiters are masters of the human element; they guide candidates toward the best offer, manage expectations between both parties, and provide the personal touch that closes deals.

But in today's market, this critical, high-value work is being buried under a mountain of low-value tasks. Recruiters are drowning in a sea of applicants, manually sifting through hundreds of resumes just to find a handful of qualified individuals.

What if you could automate the noise and focus exclusively on the high-signal candidates? Top agencies are doing just that by integrating AI-powered technical screening into their workflow, accelerating their hiring velocity and dramatically boosting placement rates.

The Challenge: The Manual Screening Bottleneck

The traditional recruitment workflow is broken. For any given technical role, an agency might receive hundreds of applications. The time-consuming process of manually vetting each one creates a bottleneck that slows down the entire hiring cycle.

This inefficiency has two major costs:

1. It slows you down: Every hour spent reading the resumes of unqualified candidates is an hour you’re not spending with the ones who could land the placement.
2. It creates client fatigue: When a long list of unvetted candidates is sent to a client, their engineering team is forced to conduct dozens of initial interviews, leading to burnout and a frustrating experience.

The Solution: Automating the Top of the Funnel with EvoHire

EvoHire is designed to eliminate this bottleneck. It’s an AI agent that automates the initial technical screening, allowing agencies to vet an unlimited number of candidates in parallel. This isn't about replacing interviews; it's about making them count.

Here’s how leading agencies are fitting EvoHire into their workflow:

• Step 1: Create a Job Screen in Minutes When a client provides a job requisition, the recruiter creates a corresponding "Job" in their EvoHire dashboard. They simply select the required skills and difficulty level (e.g., Senior, Intermediate) from a pre-determined question bank.

• Step 2: Screen All Promising Applicants Instantly Instead of just scanning resumes, the agency sends a unique EvoHire screening link to every applicant who looks viable on paper. Candidates can take the automated phone or video screening immediately, answering questions designed to test their real conceptual knowledge.

• Step 3: Identify Top Talent with Detailed Reports For every completed screen, the recruiter receives a comprehensive report. This includes an AI-generated summary, a full call transcript and recording, and a rating of the candidate's answers. Recruiters can instantly see who has the technical depth to succeed, cutting through the noise in minutes, not days.

Focus on What You Do Best: The Human Touch

By automating the top of the funnel, recruiters can now invest their time where it matters most: with the top 5-10% of candidates who have already passed the technical screen.

This allows them to:

• Place Candidates Faster: With the technical validation handled, recruiters can move high-signal candidates to the client immediately, drastically increasing hiring velocity.
• Deliver a Premium Client Experience: Clients are no longer burdened with screening unqualified candidates. They receive a small shortlist of highly-vetted individuals and can even review their EvoHire interview reports before the first meeting. This reduces interview fatigue and builds immense trust in your agency’s ability to deliver quality.
• Boost Placement Rates: By focusing their energy on building relationships with pre-qualified candidates, recruiters can provide better guidance, manage expectations more effectively, and ultimately close more deals.

EvoHire doesn't replace the art of recruiting; it empowers it. It handles the repetitive, manual work so you can focus on the strategic, human-centric relationships that define a great recruitment agency.
