Why recruitment agencies look at lead follow-up agent.
A company that sends a vacancy to three agencies usually works with the one that responds first with good questions. Consultants who are in interviews all day reply in the evening, if at all.
On the other side, candidates who apply and hear nothing for a week move on, and remember the agency that ignored them.
What the agent does, step by step.
Website form, email to info@ or a LinkedIn message forwarded by a consultant.
A personal reply with the intake questions for that type of role.
Call booked with the consultant for that sector.
Company, contact, vacancy details and summary created.
Applicants told when their CV is received, reviewed and decided.
Systems it works with.
Candidate status updates read from your ATS, so they are always consistent with what consultants see.
Where a human decides.
Hiring decisions are high-risk under the EU AI Act; this build stays out of them.
How you know it works.
Measure: time to first reply on client enquiries, intake calls booked, and candidate complaints about not hearing back.
Example with assumed numbers: an agency gets 25 client enquiries a month and replies in about a day. If a same-hour reply converted four more of them into intake calls, and one in four intakes becomes a placement, that is one extra placement a month; your fee per placement gives the value.
The example uses assumed numbers to show the method. It is not a client result or a promise.
What it costs.
All prices excl. VAT. The fixed quote comes from the AI Blueprint.
When this is not the right build.
If nearly all your clients are long-term accounts that call their consultant directly, invest in candidate communication first.
Common questions.
