Recruitment – Webol

For recruitment agencies

Less screening. More placing.

Practical AI automation for recruitment agencies and in-house talent teams. Built around the systems you already use, live in weeks, and measured in hours given back to candidates and clients.

The problem

Sound familiar?

The day-to-day drag in a busy desk rarely comes from placing candidates. It comes from everything that has to happen before that call.

CVs screened one by one

Every CV read, matched and shortlisted by hand, at 25–30 minutes a candidate before a single call is even made.

Sourcing takes longer every year

Candidate shortages and lower response rates mean more time spent searching, messaging and chasing on LinkedIn and job boards for the same result.

Interviews juggled by email

Diary availability chased back and forth between candidates and clients by email, with reschedules eating into the working week.

Compliance and onboarding paperwork chased by hand

Right to work checks, references and onboarding paperwork tracked on spreadsheets and chased manually before a candidate can start.

None of this needs more staff, and most of it doesn’t need new software. It needs the systems you already have connected up and working for you.

Why this, why now

AI must be scalable, not scattered.

AI is moving faster than most operations can absorb. Pilots that never connect to everyday work stall out, and the gap between early movers and everyone else widens every month.

Up to £7,000 of lost value per team, every month — just 20 hours a week of manual admin, at typical rates, adds up to £3,000–£7,000 a month in lost value.

Capacity to scale

Enough delivery bandwidth to apply AI repeatedly across the business, not just once.

Capability to deliver

The skills and operating model to turn AI intent into working, everyday solutions.

Readiness to compete

Moving early enough that the efficiency gap doesn’t quietly close against you.

Webol’s AI Delivery Framework gives you all three without the cost or risk of building it in-house.

Illustrative example

What this looks like on a busy desk.

A typical first three months for a recruitment agency — the kind of result our discovery sprint is designed to size and prove for your desks before you commit.

10 hrs

a week of retyping removed between CV screening, the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and client updates

Same day

from shortlist to interviews booked — down from several days of back and forth

Minutes

to pull a complete right to work and compliance file — not an afternoon of chasing

*Numbers calculated from Webol’s typical first-phase automation outcomes in other sectors.

Scope

Where the hours go back.

Automation across the parts of the business that carry the paperwork.

CV screening

CVs matched and ranked against the role automatically, so time goes on the shortlist, not the read-through.

Candidate sourcing

Sourcing and outreach run automatically across your existing channels, keeping the pipeline moving without manual searching.

Interview scheduling

Availability matched and interviews booked automatically between candidates and clients, no more email tennis.

Compliance & onboarding

Right to work checks, references and onboarding paperwork tracked automatically and filed audit-ready.

Clients & vacancies

Vacancy requests and progress updates answered instantly, day or night, in your agency’s voice.

Delivery framework

From discovery to delivery.

Every engagement starts the same way, then scales through whichever tier fits your ambition.

Step one

Discovery Sprint

A focused sprint to map your priority use cases, engage the right stakeholders, and define a clear 90-day roadmap tailored to your operation — before you commit to anything. There’s a Lite and a Full version, depending on how much detail you need up front.

  • Lite — one week, for fast clarity and a prioritised roadmap.
  • Full — two weeks, adds a complete solution blueprint and a board-ready pack.

Once the discovery sprint is complete, we move straight into building AI into the area that needs it most, via one of the three tiers below.

Create momentum fast

AI Accelerator

Quick, high-impact automations that reduce manual effort and prove value early, without disrupting what already works.

  • Live improvements in weeks, not months
  • Automates the repetitive, high-friction stuff
  • Clear proof it works before you scale

Embed AI into operations

AI Enablement Layer

A modular AI layer connecting your data, tools and workflows into one repeatable, organisation-wide capability.

  • A shared platform across teams and systems
  • Secure links between your data and approved AI models
  • Reusable copilots, search and reporting

Extend and evolve safely

Innovation Lab

A private, governed environment for advanced use cases, once you’re ready to go further.

  • Fine-tuned models aligned to your data
  • Full governance, controls and compliance
  • Built for long-term scale, not experiments

Whichever tier you start with, AI stops being a side project — it becomes part of how your business gets more effective, month after month.

Investment

Pricing.

Rolling monthly engagements, priced by delivery capacity — not per feature or per use case.

Step zero

£5,000 (Lite, 1 week) or £7,500 (Full, 2 weeks)

Credibility

Why us.

We run our own business on this.

Webol delivers more work today than two years ago, with half the team — using exactly the approach we’d build for you. We sell what we live.

UK-led, sensibly priced.

Product ownership and accountability in the UK, engineering in our own team in India — senior delivery without the agency day-rate.

No big-bang projects.

Weekly releases, runbooks for everything we ship, and nothing that disrupts the systems your operation depends on.

Optional depth

For your technical lead.

Optional depth for your technical lead. If anyone else wants to find out more about how we work, please book in a call to talk it through.

How the automations are built
Modular, API-first integrations between your existing systems, orchestrated centrally with monitoring and alerts. Each automation ships with a runbook, rollback path, and a short training clip for the team that uses it. Nothing is hard-coded into a platform you can’t leave.
Where your data goes
Data stays within approved connections between your systems and vetted large language model providers under UK GDPR. No customer data is used to train public models. On the Enablement and Innovation tiers, access controls, hosting arrangements and cost oversight are agreed and documented before anything goes live.
Systems we commonly connect
  • ATS & CRM — Bullhorn, JobAdder, Vincere, or your platform of choice
  • Job boards & sourcing — LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, or your existing channels
  • Spreadsheets and shared drives — if a process still runs from one of these, we’ll connect it rather than force you onto something new
What happens if we stop
You keep everything: the automations, the documentation, the runbooks, and admin access to every account. Engagements roll monthly after the minimum term, and we hand over cleanly. Lock-in is a business model we don’t want.

Bring us your next shortlist.

One 15-minute call, free and no obligation. We’ll tell you whether it’s automatable and whether we’re the right people to build it. If we’re not, we’ll say so.
