Recruitment & HR
A mid-sized staffing and recruitment firm placing candidates across IT, BPO, and manufacturing roles was struggling to keep pace with client hiring demands. Each recruiter was responsible for screening 80-100 candidates per week across multiple job openings. The manual screening process — calling each candidate, asking qualification questions, assessing communication skills, and scheduling interviews — consumed 70% of recruiter time before any real relationship-building could begin. ElidePro automated the first-round screening process entirely, enabling each recruiter to handle 5x more candidates while focusing exclusively on shortlisted, interview-ready prospects.
The Challenge
The firm's recruiters were burning out on high-volume, repetitive work. Screening calls for entry-level and mid-level roles followed a predictable pattern — verifying experience, notice period, expected CTC, location preference, and basic communication assessment. Yet each call took 12-18 minutes of recruiter time. With 6 recruiters and 500+ active candidates in the pipeline at any time, the math simply did not work. Many candidates were never contacted within the critical 24-hour window, causing the best talent to accept competing offers before the firm had even screened them.
The ElidePro Solution
ElidePro deployed a role-specific AI screening agent that called every new applicant within minutes of CV submission. The AI was programmed with position-specific questions — verifying years of experience, current and expected CTC, notice period, location flexibility, and key technical skills. It assessed communication clarity and engagement level, scored candidates automatically on a 100-point scale, and routed top scorers directly to the recruiter's priority pipeline. Candidates who did not meet hard criteria were respectfully disqualified with feedback.
Results After 60 Days
Each recruiter's effective screening capacity increased from 80 to 420 candidates per week. Time-to-first-contact dropped from 22 hours to under 5 minutes. Time-to-hire reduced by 40% as recruiters only invested time in pre-qualified candidates. Candidate drop-off during the screening phase (due to slow follow-up) reduced by 65%. Client satisfaction scores improved significantly as the firm consistently delivered shortlists faster than competitors. The firm expanded to 3 new client accounts within 60 days — attributing growth directly to the increased placement capacity.
Key Use Cases Automated
Automated first-round candidate screening calls within minutes of application, CTC, notice period, and experience verification, role-specific technical and communication assessment, candidate scoring and automatic pipeline routing, interview scheduling for shortlisted candidates, reminder and confirmation calls before interviews, candidate status update calls post-interview, re-engagement of cold pipeline candidates for new openings.
Why ElidePro for Recruitment
Recruitment is a volume business at the top of the funnel and a relationship business at the bottom. ElidePro handles the volume — screening, scheduling, and status updates — with the consistency and speed that human recruiters simply cannot match at scale. The result is a leaner, faster, higher-performing recruitment operation where human recruiters spend their time on the activities that actually require human judgment: assessing culture fit, negotiating offers, and building long-term client relationships.
