Recruitment models we support

Contingency & permanent placement

Role counts, salary bands, and hiring urgency — qualify hiring managers before your consultants cold-call.

Executive & retained search

Board mandates, confidentiality, and search timelines — nurture stakeholders until the retained kickoff is booked.

Contract & temp staffing

Shift patterns, compliance asks, and rate cards — keep programme leads engaged until ops schedules a briefing.

RPO & embedded talent partners

Headcount plans, SLAs, and geography — route enterprise talent buyers to your solutions lead faster.

Niche & sector specialists

Tech stacks, licences, and credentialed roles — book scoping calls without inbox ping-pong.

High-volume & campus hiring

Seasonal ramps, assessment workflows, and hiring events — one thread from inbound interest to recruiter alignment.

Why employer mandates slip before the briefing

Hiring velocity is brutal. These gaps cost retainers and contract wins every week — AI Ekip removes them with compliant, consistent new-business follow-up.

Employer leads cool between reqs

Hiring managers compare agencies the same week they post jobs. Slow replies mean the preferred vendor list is already closed.

Consultants repeat the same intake

Teams re-send fee guides and process PDFs — instead of running qualification with prospects who already fit your desk.

CRM and inboxes disagree

LinkedIn, job-board leads, and referrals never reconcile cleanly. Forecasting fees and fill rates turns into guesswork.

Automation Workflow

Full lead lifecycle — trigger to booked briefing

One CRM trigger launches an AI workflow until the employer is ready to meet — your consultants or new business team joins when commercials or compliance need a human.
