AI for Recruitment Agencies: Structured Candidate and Client Enquiry Intake
Boafo Agent collects website candidate and client enquiries for recruitment teams. It asks configured role-related questions, records availability and contact details, and routes structured information for consultant review. Booking is supported only through a connected Google Calendar where configured; staff retain approval and operational decisions.
Website enquiry handling, live within days. Trained on your business before launch.
What's getting in the way today
- Website candidate enquiries need structured information before consultant follow-up.
- Evening website enquiries may wait until staff return.
- Forms can miss role interest, location and availability.
- Client briefs need scope, timing and contact details.
- Appointment requests need clear preferences and an approved booking process.
How a Boafo AI Employee works for a recruitment agency
Train the website assistant on approved roles, specialisms and configured questions. Boafo Agent handles website enquiries today. Telephone answering, inbound voice, outbound calling, SMS and WhatsApp are not live standard capabilities.
Capture role interest, location, relevant experience, notice period and stated availability. These are candidate-supplied details, not verified credentials or an autonomous hiring decision. CV uploads are not a standard promise; a profile link can be collected as text.
Record speculative website enquiries and route them using the business rules you define. A consultant decides role suitability.
Collect client company, role, seniority, requirements, salary band and timing in a structured brief.
Collect appointment preferences. Booking is supported only through a connected Google Calendar where configured; staff retain approval and operational decisions. Automatic coordination across candidate, client and consultant calendars, reminders and rescheduling are not standard capabilities.

Is this right for a boutique recruitment agency?
A boutique agency can use website intake to collect candidate and client details. Consultants retain decisions about suitability, consent, verification and follow-up.
How it scales as you grow
Update approved roles and questions through the configuration process. Cross-desk routing must be agreed; automatic overnight updates are not promised.
Setup, training and go-live
Approve role information, questions and routing, then configure email, Google Sheets, webhooks or a connected Google Calendar. An ATS requires separately scoped custom API/webhook work, subject to access and feasibility; no native ATS integration is claimed.
