Not just words but meaning: experience, level, where they worked. Anna has led a VIP team for 7 years — a strong profile.

Not just search. A whole system.

The AI Recruiter has found and scored your candidates. Regular AI search would stop here. Ours lives inside your agency ATS, so this is where the real value starts.

Why is the AI Recruiter so good? The ATS.

01

Knows your base

If someone has been with you before, the AI Recruiter won't bring them in as new: it shows who handled them and on which vacancy.

02

Drops straight into the pipeline

Not a spreadsheet to sort out later. Candidates land on the right vacancy board with their CV and score.

03

Takes it to the client

The same candidates go to your client in one click, in a branded shortlist with contacts hidden.

04

Forgets nothing

Scores, stages and client comments stay on the candidate card. The next search never starts from zero.

The AI Recruiter doesn't plug into other ATSs. It works only inside ours, which is exactly why it can do all this. On another ATS or Excel today? We'll help you move your base.

A demo is better with your own candidates. We run the search live on the call.

Simplified preview. The real shortlist also opens with an animated cover, plays video interviews, compares candidates side by side and exports to PDF.

What's inside: the ATS and the AI Recruiter

Features: Excel, Telegram and your willpower. That's it.

Built for agencies

Clients can't go around you

Phones, emails, Telegram handles and links are cut out of every CV in the shortlist, along with the "Phone:" labels and icons. As if they were never there.

Built for agencies

A shortlist that reports back

See when the client opened it and how they answered: ✓, ? or ✕. They compare 2–3 candidates side by side, watch video interviews and save a PDF.

Built for agencies

See where hiring stalls

Analytics by client and by recruiter: "presented → interviews", say 7 → 4, 57%. You see at once which client drags their feet and which recruiter's candidates get stuck.

A board for every vacancy

Drag a card and the stage changes. Rejection asks for a reason, and any slip is one click to undo.

CVs fill the card themselves

Drop a PDF, Word file or scan. AI pulls out experience, skills, languages and salary, so nobody retypes anything.

Search your whole base like Google

Type plain words, like "sales manager", and you get everyone who has it in their CV or comments, even if it's written differently.

The candidate on one screen

Full-size CV, the key facts and one feed: comments, stages, client replies.

Quick check

Is your agency still doing it all by hand?

We ran an agency ourselves. This is what ate our days, and what the system does now.

  1. Recruiters spend half a day on job boards, LinkedIn and chats for a dozen candidates?

    The AI Recruiter searches 8+ sources at once. In 2 minutes.

  2. Half the CVs you find don't fit at all?

    Every candidate has a score. Recruiters take only the top of the list.

  3. A recruiter is drowning by the fifth vacancy?

    No more manual sourcing. They interview, and run twice as many vacancies.

  4. Paying for an ATS, database access, spreadsheets and Canva, and still doing it all by hand?

    ATS, AI Recruiter and client shortlists in one place.

  5. Scrubbing contacts out of CVs so the client can't go to the candidate directly?

    Contacts are cut out automatically. Clients can't go around you.

  6. The client waits a week for a shortlist?

    The client gets a shortlist on the day of the brief.

Stop putting up with it.It's all in one place.

More agencies use it under NDA. They asked us to keep their names private.

We used to rebuild every CV in Canva to remove the contacts and add our logo. Now the shortlist does it on its own. One headache less.

Ask your own question

One answer to every question: do it by hand.

How fast can we start?Getting started

The AI Recruiter and the ATS are live 3 days after our call. Within a week we finish the design for your brand, help move your base and train your team.

Who supports us?Getting started

Your manager. They are assigned to your agency, available 24/7, know your process and answer right away. You meet them on the first call.

Do we need anyone technical?Getting started

No. We host, update and monitor everything. Your team just uses the AI Recruiter and the ATS.

Can we bring our existing candidates?Getting started

Yes. We help you move your base from Excel or a folder of CVs during setup. Drop the CVs in and the AI reads each one and fills the candidate card for you.

Where does it run?Data and security

On our servers, as a private copy for your agency only, on your own domain such as ats.youragency.com. Because we run it, every update and new feature reaches you automatically.

Who owns the candidate data?Data and security

You do. Your data lives in its own database, never mixed with other agencies, and we never use it for anything else. Admins can export candidates to Excel at any time, and if you leave, we hand over a full export of candidates and CVs.

Who in my team sees what?Data and security

You decide per person: only certain niches or vacancies, hidden salaries, hidden contacts and files, or read-only. Every action is written to a log admins can review.

What if something breaks?Data and security

The whole database is backed up every day and kept for 30 days, and CV files can be stored in the cloud as well. We watch the system and fix issues before most teams notice.

Can the AI Recruiter connect to our current ATS?Product

No, and that's on purpose. The AI Recruiter is part of our ATS: it checks candidates against your base, drops them into the vacancy pipeline and prepares the client shortlist. None of that works inside someone else's system. If you're on another ATS or Excel today, we'll help you move your base.

Can you add a source we use?Product

Yes, whenever it's technically possible. Tell us where candidates in your niche hang out and we'll connect it.

Does it work with job boards like hh.ru?Product

Yes. Telegram chats, LinkedIn, GitHub, Behance and Dribbble work out of the box. Searching the hh.ru CV database needs your paid hh.ru access; without it the AI Recruiter sends ready-made search links.

Is Telegram sourcing safe for our account?Product

The AI Recruiter only reads the chats you add and never messages anyone, so there are no mass mailings to trigger limits. We recommend a separate work account for it.

Can you build features for us?Product

Yes. If you need your own feature, integration or special process, we build and roll it out.

Will it fit our process?Product

Pipeline stages, their colors, KPI amounts, guarantee and probation periods are all set to how your agency works.

What's included in the monthly fee?Price

Hosting management, updates, new features and support in Telegram for your whole team. No per-seat fees. Server and AI usage are billed at cost with no markup.

How do we know what AI costs us?Price

It's roughly $1.50 per 1,000 candidates the AI Recruiter sources, and you never have to guess. The AI Recruiter shows the exact AI cost at the end of every search, so you can track every dollar.

Why is the launch price so low?Price

We built Hire&Despair with a few partner agencies, and now we\'re taking 10 more at the launch price. 3 spots left. It\'s the same product as the standard plan, nothing cut.

Can we buy only the AI Recruiter or only the ATS?Price

No, it's one system. The AI Recruiter is strong because of the ATS: it knows your base and drops candidates straight into the pipeline. The ATS, in turn, gets a steady flow of candidates from the AI Recruiter. Apart, each would be worse.
