Solutions · Recruitment & staffing

We run a recruitment firm. This is its engine.

Talione, our executive recruitment company, sources and ranks candidates for cents and finds its own sales leads on autopilot. Everything below is running there right now - not a demo, a payroll.

Sound familiar?

Where a recruiter's week actually goes.

Two days of admin per vacancy

Recruiters average ~17.7 hours of administrative work per vacancy - formatting CVs, chasing feedback, updating the ATS. That's the placement margin, burned.

~17.7 hrs admin per vacancy - industry study, 2025

400 CVs, 12 relevant

72% of recruiters say floods of unqualified applicants are a top reason hiring slows. Screening alone averages two weeks.

42 days to fill

Average time-to-fill is up 24% since 2021. Your client signed with three agencies - the first qualified shortlist wins.

Slow comms lose candidates

54% of candidates have abandoned a recruiter because the process dragged or communication lapsed. The best candidates are gone in days.

Scheduling ping-pong

Interview coordination across candidate, client, and recruiter calendars eats days per placement and breeds no-shows.

Your ATS is a graveyard

Thousands of past candidates sit untouched. Every new req starts sourcing from zero, paying again for people you already know.

What we'd build for you

Systems, not experiments.

01

Inbound screening agent

Every applicant parsed, scored against the actual job spec with reasoning attached, and ranked in minutes. Recruiters open a shortlist, not an inbox. On our own desk this costs about three cents per ranked candidate.

The outcome

Time-to-shortlist drops by days; recruiters talk to candidates instead of reading CVs.

02

ATS resurrection agent

New req in, whole historical database matched overnight. Warm past candidates get a personalized re-engagement message - approved by the recruiter before it sends.

The outcome

Roles filled from people you already paid to find, before sourcing spend starts.

03

Business development pipeline

The system we run at Talione: watch job postings, identify the companies hiring, find their decision-makers, enrich contact data, and stage it all in the CRM - 26 workflows deep.

The outcome

Your consultants open the CRM to find prospects already discovered and enriched.

04

Scheduling & no-show killer

Self-serve interview booking with confirmations and reminders across email and SMS, synced to everyone's calendar.

The outcome

Interview no-shows drop sharply - industry studies suggest by up to 40%.

05

Client-facing pipeline reports

A weekly per-client digest of submittals, interviews, and feedback - generated automatically, in your voice.

The outcome

Hours of status emails replaced; the retainer defends itself.

A note on doing this properly: Hiring AI is regulated - NYC Local Law 144, the EU AI Act, and provincial privacy law all apply. We keep humans making every reject decision, log AI scores for auditability, and disclose AI use where required.

Why Peligent for this

Not a vendor guess. Our own firm.

Talione places executives across Canada. Its AI sourcing engine ranks candidates for ~$0.03 each, and its lead-gen pipeline fills the sales team's CRM with decision-makers while they sleep. When we build this for you, we're copying our own homework.

Common questions

Asked by owners like you.

Is AI candidate screening even legal? +

It's regulated, not forbidden - NYC Local Law 144, the EU AI Act, and Canadian privacy law all apply. We build compliant by design: humans make every reject decision, AI scores are logged for audit, and candidates are told where disclosure is required. We run a recruitment firm ourselves, so we hold our own systems to this bar.

What does AI sourcing actually cost per candidate? +

On our own desk at Talione, sourcing plus AI ranking costs roughly three cents per candidate at volume - versus a researcher's afternoon. Your exact economics depend on volume and sources, which is what the audit establishes.

Will this replace my recruiters? +

No - it deletes the ~17.7 hours of admin per vacancy so recruiters spend their day on candidates and clients, which is the part that actually fills roles. Placements per recruiter go up; headcount doesn't need to.
