10X Engagement and Instant Shortlisting for a Leading IT Staffing Firm

"Voice AI gave us superpowers. It’s smart, conversational, and delivers qualified candidates at scale—something we couldn’t do manually even with a larger team."

Director of Talent Acquisition, Enterprise IT Staffing Firm

Overview

One of the fastest-growing staffing firms in the tech sector was stuck in a cycle of inefficiency. Recruiters spent hours sifting through unqualified resumes from job boards and manually screening candidates—slowing down time-to-fill and frustrating both clients and internal teams. That changed when they deployed Cora, the autonomous AI recruiter from House of Agents.

The Challenge

The firm’s biggest bottleneck wasn’t sourcing—it was wasted time.
Job boards flooded their inboxes with irrelevant applicants, requiring recruiters to manually review hundreds of resumes daily. On average, each recruiter was spending 5+ hours every day screening candidates—only to end up with a handful of matches.

“Job boards gave us volume, not value,” said the firm’s Director of Recruiting. “By the time we shortlisted candidates, the best ones were already gone.”

The Solution

They turned to House of Agents and activated Cora—an AI-powered recruiting agent designed to prospect, screen, and engage candidates autonomously. Unlike static job postings, Cora continuously scouts passive and active candidates across the open web and proprietary databases.

Key benefits included:

  • 24/7 autonomous prospecting

  • Candidate pipelines filtered by a 60%+ match score, based on both qualitative and quantitative ML models

  • Zero time spent on initial outreach or screening—Cora handled it all

Instead of parsing resumes, recruiters could now focus on client conversations and final-round interviews.

Looking Ahead

In the first two weeks, Voice AI engaged over 1,200 candidates—a 10x increase in outreach velocity. Over 320 qualified leads were automatically flagged and scheduled, freeing recruiters to focus only on high-intent conversations.

“We didn’t just scale outreach—we scaled quality outreach,” said the Director. “Voice AI pre-qualifies and sorts through noise so our team can close faster. It’s like giving each recruiter 10 hands and a 24/7 assistant.”

The firm has since integrated Voice AI into every campaign and expanded its use across multiple roles and geographies.
