AI Answering Service for Recruiting Firms

Catch Every Candidate Callback. Catch Every BD Inquiry.

You’re already on a call with a candidate when a hiring manager rings about a new search. Or you’re mid-interview when the candidate you’ve been chasing for two weeks finally calls back. Ignitvio answers every line, screens the caller, and either books the meeting or sends you the warm handoff, so the second-best candidate doesn’t become someone else’s placement.

The Problem

Recruiting Is a Speed Game and the Phone Is the Choke Point

Candidates field five to ten outreach attempts at any given time. The first recruiter to actually pick up usually wins the relationship. On the client side, the hiring manager who can’t reach you on the first try calls the next firm in their Rolodex. Both calls keep happening while you’re already on the phone with someone else.

First Call

Wins the candidate

A passive candidate gets messaged by half a dozen recruiters at once. The one who picks up the call back first usually closes the relationship. The other five never even get a return message.

$20-100K

Average placement fee per role

Boutique placement fees run 20-30% of base salary. Every candidate you don’t catch on the callback, and every BD call you miss from a hiring manager, has a real five-figure number attached to it.

Always-On

Candidates call when they can

Passive candidates call between meetings, on lunch breaks, after work. Your in-office hours and their available-to-talk hours barely overlap. If you can’t answer at 7:30 PM Tuesday, they’ll talk to whoever can.

Mid-Call

Is when the next call comes in

A solo recruiter on a candidate screen can’t take an inbound BD inquiry. A boutique partner running a search update can’t take a candidate callback. The second call rings out, and you have no idea what you missed.

The Solution

Built for the Way Recruiters Actually Work

Four systems that handle candidate callbacks, screen inbound BD calls from clients, coordinate interview scheduling across three calendars, and send the warm handoff to your phone the moment something needs you.

Candidate Callbacks

When the passive candidate you’ve been chasing finally calls back, the AI answers immediately, confirms the role they’re calling about, captures their current situation and timing, and either books a screen on your calendar or holds them on the line for a warm transfer if you’re free.

  • Identifies which role they’re calling about
  • Books a screen to your calendar in real time
  • Warm-transfers to you if you’re available

Inbound Client BD Calls

When a hiring manager calls about a new search, the AI captures the role, the company, the rough comp band, the urgency, and the decision-maker on their side. You get a clean intake form, the meeting is on your calendar, and the prospect doesn’t go shop the next firm.

  • Captures role, comp, urgency, and decision-makers
  • Books a kickoff call to your calendar automatically
  • Sends a clean BD intake summary to your inbox

Multi-Party Interview Scheduling

Coordinating an interview between a candidate, a hiring manager, and you is the single biggest time sink in recruiting. The AI works across all three calendars, holds slots, sends invites, and reschedules when someone bails, all without you living in your inbox.

  • Coordinates across candidate, hiring manager, and recruiter calendars
  • Sends invites, reminders, and reschedule links
  • Handles last-minute cancellations and reschedules

Post-Interview Follow-Up

The candidate who doesn’t hear back goes cold. The AI sends the post-interview check-in, confirms the candidate’s continued interest, captures any new objections, and routes anything that needs a real conversation back to you, so nobody falls out of the pipeline by accident.

  • Confirms continued candidate interest after each round
  • Surfaces new objections or competing offers
  • Routes anything sensitive directly to you

Built for Search Firms and Staffing Agencies

Configured to Your Search Workflow

Boutique exec search, contingent placement, retained search, contract staffing, technical recruiting. Each one runs different intake questions, different qualifying logic, and different escalation paths. The AI is configured to yours.

CRM and ATS Integration

Every call gets logged to your ATS or CRM with the candidate or client record. No double entry. No lost notes. Bullhorn, Crelate, Loxo, JobAdder, or whatever you run on.

Custom Intake Per Search Type

Exec search BD intake, contract staffing client intake, candidate screening for a specific role, all run different question sets. We build each script to match.

After-Hours Coverage

Candidates call evenings and weekends because that’s when they can. The AI handles those calls so the conversation happens when the candidate is ready, not when you happen to be at your desk.
