Alvo for Recruitment

Applications have tripled and the signal has halved. Your consultants are paying the difference in billing hours

Candidates mass-apply with AI, so every role now buries the two applicants worth calling under two hundred who are not. Alvo builds the systems that take first-pass screening and formatting off a consultant's week, so the hours go back into the work clients actually pay a margin for: the judgement and the relationships an automated screen cannot replace. Measured in time-to-shortlist and placements per head, grounded in how agency and in-house desks actually run.

Why now

The revenue gap between adopters and non-adopters is widening

Bullhorn GRID data has APAC agencies using AI growing revenue at three to five times the rate of those that are not. This is a market share story, not a technology story. The agencies that embed AI into sourcing and screening first close the placement speed gap and compound that advantage every quarter they stay ahead.

The leakage is not in the search. It is in the time between roles landing and shortlists going out, and in the candidates who go quiet between interview and offer. Speed wins mandates. Most desks have never been measured on where that time actually goes.

AI tooling now compresses the fix. Automated sourcing and shortlisting, candidate screening that ranks against the brief, and follow-up sequencing that keeps both client and candidate warm. All off-the-shelf builds today.

What we bring

Operators who know how a recruitment desk actually runs

Alvo for Recruitment is built on working familiarity with how agency and in-house teams operate, across permanent, temp and contract desks. The recommendations are grounded in the cadence of a real desk, from job qualification through sourcing, shortlisting, interview management and offer, not abstracted from it.

We bring practical knowledge of the recruitment tech stack, including Bullhorn, JobAdder and Vincere, and where AI fits alongside it rather than replacing it. We have a clear view on where the established AI players in the stack, the HireEZ and SeekOut and Eightfold tier, genuinely move the needle and where they add cost without changing a billing.

The work starts with where the specific speed and revenue advantage sits in your agency, ranked by commercial impact. Not a tool list. A plan your consultants will actually use.

Recent work. A pilot implementation programme built and delivered with a specialist recruitment agency: session design, an owner's playbook and a build specification for the agency's priority workflows. And our own published research, The State of AI in Australian Recruitment, on where AI is actually landing across the industry.

How recruitment agencies using AI are placing faster and billing sooner

Top APAC agencies using AI place candidates in one to three days. Those that are not average seven to ten. In a market where speed wins mandates, that gap is a revenue problem.
