The short answer
What is agentplain for recruiting firms?
agentplain for recruiting is a managed AI service partnership for boutique recruiting and staffing firms. A service team installs a fleet that sources candidates from public data, drafts first-touch outreach backed by a substantiated reference, honors opt-out handling, and tracks the pipeline — working inside Outlook, Gmail, Slack, and DocuSign. The recruiter reviews every outreach before it sends; the fleet drafts and proposes but never sends on its own.
A day in the life
What the fleet drafts before you open the laptop.
Tuesday morning: a senior backend role just opened at a client. Goal — five qualified candidates in pipeline by Friday.
Today
Source on LinkedIn Recruiter, qualify against the JD, draft individualized opening messages, log everything in Bullhorn, follow up the ones who reply. ~12 hours across the week.
With agentplain
The fleet drafted 12 substantiated openers (each citing a specific reason from the candidate's record) and queued them for the recruiter's review. Once your sourcing tools and ATS are connected, it will also source candidates against the JD, enrich them, and rank the top matches by stated-skill match + employer history.
Outcome
The recruiter reviews 12 drafts in 40 minutes, sends 9, and books 5 calls by Friday. The 12 hours becomes 90 minutes.
Jobs to be done
The recurring work, role by role.
Practice owner / managing partner
| Job | When | Today | With agentplain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Know which roles are at risk this week | Monday morning | Standup notes + tribal recall | Pipeline view — every role with current bottleneck (sourcing / outreach reply-rate / client-side delay) |

Account manager / client lead
| Job | When | Today | With agentplain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run an intake call on a new role with the hiring manager | Per-search, week 1 | 30–60 minute call + scattered Slack/email follow-ups to capture the spec | Intake agent drafts the role brief from the call transcript, surfaces the unanswered questions, and routes the brief to the recruiter — AM reviews and confirms |

| Coordinate feedback loops after every client interview | Continuous through every search | Chase the hiring manager by email; lose 2–3 days per cycle | Feedback agent drafts the post-interview prompt to the client + the candidate-facing relay; AM signs and routes |
Recruiter

|---|---|---|---|
| Source candidates against an open role | Day 1–7 of every search | LinkedIn search, production-board scraping, spreadsheet | Sourcing agent drafts a ranked list with substantiated production references; recruiter triages |
| Draft the first-touch outreach | Per candidate, sub-3 minute window for response rate | Template + manual customization | Outreach agent drafts <180-word first touch with one specific production reference, plain CTA, opt-out line |
| Run the second + third touch cadence | Days 3 and 8 of every search | Calendar reminder + manual draft | Cadence agent runs the timing; recruiter reviews and sends from their own system |

Sourcer
| Job | When | Today | With agentplain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build a sourcing list against an open role | Day 1–3 of every search | LinkedIn Recruiter search + scraping + spreadsheet of candidates | Sourcing agent runs the keyword + boolean search across LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub (where applicable), and vertical-specific boards; drafts a ranked list with substantiation per candidate |
| Enrich + verify contact data | Per-candidate, sub-30-minute window | Apollo / Sales Nav lookups + manual cross-check | Enrichment agent pulls Apollo + public-record data, drafts the candidate record with employment-history + open-source-contribution evidence where ToS allows |

Coordinator

Illustrative; your numbers will vary with the hours you reclaim.
- Subscription cost
- Regular tier · $199 per seat (solo), sliding to $99 per seat (50–99 seats) — 7-day free trial, card at signup
- Value delivered
- $54,000 / yr per recruiter in cycle-time and placement-rate reclamation
- The math
- 1 recruiter @ 30% of week on sourcing + outreach drafting (~12 hours) × $75/hr loaded = $46,800/yr in labor reclamation. Add response-rate lift from substantiated outreach (modeled at +20% to placements) → $7k/yr at 2 placements baseline. Total ~$54k/yr per recruiter against the solo Regular-tier seat at $199/mo ($2,388/yr) = ~23x at one recruiter; team-of-10 on the $149 band runs ~30x+ on the same inputs.
The downside it removes
The other half of ROI: the violation that never sends.
Candidate outreach and screening fall under EEOC enforcement of Title VII and a growing patchwork of state and local Ban-the-Box laws — Title VII compensatory-and-punitive damages are capped at $50,000 to $300,000 per claimant by employer size (Civil Rights Act of 1991), and a single discriminatory phrasing or a premature criminal-history question is enough to trigger a claim. Auto-execution sends the screening question before anyone checks it; agentplain's fleet drafts the outreach and screening copy and a recruiter reviews and approves every draft before it sends, so a problematic message never goes out by machine. That avoided claim is downside the 23x hours math never captures, and only a human-approval loop can stand behind it.
What agentplain does, and doesn't
Replace. Integrate. Augment.
Replace
Work the fleet takes off your desk entirely.
- Manual production-board scraping — replaced by drafted ranked sourcing lists
- Template-and-customize first-touch drafting — replaced by substantiated drafts in your voice
- Calendar-reminder cadence — replaced by timing-aware second + third touches
- Hand-built offer packages — replaced by drafted comp letters with role context
Integrate
Customer-system tools agentplain reads from and writes to.
- Outlook + Gmail (per-recruiter OAuth — email + calendar)
- Slack (coordinator messaging)
- DocuSign (offer-letter signatures)
Augment
Work the human still owns — the agent drafts, you decide.
- Recruiter review on every outreach draft — opt-out line always present
- Substantiation citation — every production claim references the source record
- Drafts only — you send from your own system with your own consent records
- Pipeline forecasting — drafted with candidate-stage evidence, not vibes

Questions worth asking
agentplain for recruiting firms — the honest version.
How does agentplain handle outreach opt-outs and compliance?
Within the augment model. The fleet drafts outreach that respects opt-out handling and grounds each message in a substantiated reference rather than a generic pitch, then surfaces it for the recruiter's review. The recruiter approves and sends every message — the fleet doesn't send on its own.
Is agentplain a replacement for my ATS?
No. agentplain works inside the Outlook, Gmail, Slack, and DocuSign you already run and replaces the manual work between them — sourcing, first-touch drafting, pipeline tracking. It isn't an applicant-tracking system, and there's nothing to migrate.
How much does agentplain cost for a recruiting firm?
Recruiting is recommended at the Regular tier — $199 per seat per month for a solo recruiter, sliding to $99 per seat at 50+ seats. Every tier is per seat, month-to-month, with the first month free, and you can cancel anytime.
Does the fleet send outreach to candidates on its own?
No. Every drafted opener and follow-up lands in your approval queue as a pending item. The fleet drafts and proposes; you approve and send from inside your own email and systems. It never auto-sends, moves money, or makes commitments on your behalf.
