Workflow Automation for Recruiting
A workflow automation built for recruitment agencies.
Recruitment admin scales badly: applications to acknowledge, CVs to file, interviews to coordinate, feedback to chase, records to update. Automation handles the entire administrative spine so recruiters spend their day on conversations rather than coordination.
Built by VelvoAI, an independent AI systems studio. One engineer scopes and writes every system.
What the system does
- Removed from the loop
- Handoffs
- Every extraction
- Validated
- Every run
- Traceable
Use cases
What this handles for recruitment agencies
Every candidate deserves a reply. Nobody has time to send them.
- Acknowledge every application immediately and keep candidates informed at each stage
- Parse CVs into structured records in your applicant tracking system
- Coordinate interview scheduling across candidate, client, and recruiter availability
- Chase client feedback automatically and escalate when a decision stalls
No candidate left in silence, no interview slot lost to email tennis, and no manual data entry.
How it runs
Day to day for recruitment agencies
The first question is which data model you are on, because an agency ATS is CRM-first — clients, contacts, job orders, placements — and an in-house ATS is requisition-first. An automation built for one does not port to the other, whatever the integration list claims. On an agency desk the highest-frequency target is not screening, it is the timesheet: weekly, approval-gated, and unbillable until a client manager signs it. Behind that sit the compliance artifacts that quietly cost fees — the Key Information Document that has to reach a work-seeker before terms are agreed, and right-to-work evidence with an expiry date somebody has to diarise.

- S.02Bullhorn Back Office, Sonovate or ETZ where a contract desk runs timesheets and payroll
- S.03Textkernel or Daxtra for parsing, with the parsed record reconciled against the ATS record
- S.04Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby on the in-house side, where the unit is a requisition rather than a job order

Workflow Automation for Recruiting — questions
01Does automated communication feel impersonal to candidates?
Less impersonal than silence, which is what most applicants currently get. Acknowledgement and stage updates are what candidates actually want; recruiter time is better spent on the shortlist conversations.
02Will it work with our ATS?
Most modern ATS platforms publish an API, which is how the connection is built. Older systems can be handled through scheduled imports where no API exists. We confirm the path against your ATS during scoping.
