The same ten questions,
a hundred times a week.
Which vacancy, which country, what permit, how much experience, when could you start. Recruiters ask it on every first call, and half the answers disqualify the candidate before the call was worth making. An AI agent for recruitment agencies asks those questions first, so recruiters open a screened profile instead of a pile of CVs.

- Am I eligible with my passport?The answer decides whether the CV is worth reading.
- Is accommodation arranged, or do I find my own?Asked on nearly every placement abroad.
- How soon would I actually start?Availability reshapes the shortlist more than the CV does.

Why this is an agent, not just a recruitment chatbot
A recruitment chatbot answers questions about the vacancy. This agent screens against it: role, permit, experience, availability, and hands the recruiter a profile complete enough to call from, at three in the morning if that is when the candidate arrived.
Chatbot or agent? The difference in practiceThe one deployment we can show numbers for
It is not from this industry, and implying otherwise would be a bad way to start. The client is a cross-border document services firm that has asked us not to use its name yet — a different trade with the same shape of problem, where every enquiry needs five to fifteen minutes of clarifying before anyone can quote. In its first month live the agent handled 500 conversations, filed 500 structured leads, escalated to a human zero times, and gave back roughly 80 hours of specialist time. 49% of those conversations started outside working hours.
Read the numbers in fullQuestions agencies ask us
Does it replace the screening call?
No. It removes the first ten minutes of it. The recruiter still calls, but the profile is already filled in.
Can it work from our vacancy list?
Yes. It answers from your live vacancies and never invents a role or a rate.
What about candidates who do not qualify?
They get a clear answer immediately, which is kinder than silence, and your recruiters stop spending evenings on them.
Can it read a CV?
It works from the conversation rather than from the document. Candidates state experience, permits and availability in their own words, and the agent files those as fields, so the recruiter reads a profile before opening any attachment.
Does it work in WhatsApp as well as on the site?
Yes, with one history per candidate across channels. Most placement candidates start on the website and carry on in WhatsApp, and the thread is not lost in between.
How is candidate data handled?
Only the fields you define are collected, and they go where you send them: your ATS, a form, or a shared inbox. Anything about contracts, visas or pay exceptions is routed to a recruiter instead of being answered.
What does an AI chatbot for a recruitment agency cost?
A flat monthly fee rather than a price per candidate, so a hiring surge does not change the bill. We quote it on the demo.
What does an AI agent for recruitment agencies cost?
AgentDeck starts at €250 a month for the text channels, flat, with no charge per conversation. Setup and configuration are quoted once on top, and voice calling is billed per minute. What moves the setup figure is how structured your vacancies are: pages with role, permit and location fields are quicker to ground than free-text adverts.
