AI agents for recruitment agencies
A recruitment agency can take on Monmo agents for the preparation around each role: researching candidates, summarising CVs against the criteria you give, arranging interviews and drafting updates to clients. The agent asks before it messages a candidate or books a slot. Who is shortlisted, rejected or offered, and every conversation with a candidate, stays with your recruiters.

The team to take on first
AI recruiting agent
Sourcing and screening are the hours that grow with every open role, and both start from criteria you can write down.

Scheduling one interview takes three calendars and a string of emails, and it is where candidates are kept waiting.
See the roleAI SDR
An agency needs new client roles as much as it needs candidates, and business development stops whenever the desks are busy.

Clients want to know where each role stands every week, and the update is simple to prepare and simple to forget.

Jobs they take off your plate
Research candidates
From the job brief it researches people who fit on the web and LinkedIn, in its own browser, and builds a list with current role, relevant experience and a link. Messages to them are prepared for your approval.
Summarise CVs against your criteria
For each applicant it notes which of your written criteria the CV meets, which it does not and what is unclear, quoting the line it relied on. A recruiter reads the summaries and decides.
Arrange interviews
It compares the candidate's availability with the client's calendar, proposes times and prepares the invitation with the panel and the video link. Emails and bookings go out once you allow them.
Draft the weekly client update
Each Friday it goes through every open role in your tracker and writes each client a short update: candidates sent, interviews held and feedback outstanding. You read, adjust and send.
Write the job advert
It turns the client's job description into an advert in your style, points out vague or exclusionary wording and marks the pay range to confirm with the client. Publishing asks first.
Keep the tracker current
After each email or interview note it proposes the candidate's new stage and next step in your tracker or CRM, and lists candidates nobody has contacted for seven days.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent screen CVs?
It can summarise them against criteria you write, such as years in a role, a qualification or a language. For each CV, a Monmo agent notes what is met, what is missing and what is unclear, quoting the line it used. It does not reject anyone or decide who goes forward. A recruiter reads the summaries and makes that decision.
Is it fair to use AI in recruitment?
It depends on how you use it. Keep the criteria about the job, keep a person making every decision, and read a sample of CVs yourself to check the summaries. Some places have rules on automated tools in hiring and on candidate data, so check what applies to you and tell candidates where that is required.
Can an AI agent contact candidates on LinkedIn?
It researches people and drafts a message for each, then prepares them for your approval. It does not send connection requests or bulk messages. Email works the same way: the drafts appear on a card, you can edit any of them, and nothing goes out until you allow it.
Can an AI agent interview candidates?
No. Interviews, phone screens, reference calls and offer conversations stay with your recruiters. The agent prepares for them: it proposes the time, sends the invitation once you approve it and writes a one-page brief with the CV summary and suggested questions. Afterwards it can turn your notes into a client update for you to send.
