Ranked opportunities
Candidate screening agent
Quick WinRecruiter reqs describe manual screening of hundreds of applications per requisition against a shifting must-have list.
What we'd build: An agent that screens inbound applications against role criteria, ranks candidates with rationale, and drafts first-touch outreach for recruiters to send.Estimated impact: Give recruiters a ranked shortlist per req instead of a full inbox.Candidate re-engagement
Quick WinA hiring boom with a new sales leader means the placed-and-lapsed candidate database is an underused asset.
What we'd build: A re-engagement sequence that reactivates prior candidates against new open roles with a personalized, cited reason to return.Estimated impact: Turn a dormant candidate database into fillable pipeline.
Where we'd start
Candidate screening agent
The screening agent directly relieves the bottleneck behind the 14 open recruiter reqs — value the new VP of Sales can measure in weeks, not quarters.
We can pilot this on one high-volume requisition first — reply and we'll scope it.
