Scaling Placements Without Adding Headcount: Transformed Hiring Processes with AI
Client Name: Talentior
Client Website: talentior.de
Client Industry: Tech Recruitment Agency
Implementation Time: 1 Week
Short Description
Talentior is a tech recruiting agency in Germany. Their team was excellent at closing hires, but bogged down by repetitive, top-of-funnel work. By adding Aera RecruitAI as an intelligent, white-glove layer on top of their existing tools, Talentior automated sourcing and qualification so recruiters could spend their time doing what humans do best: build relationships and close candidates. The result was more placements, without hiring more recruiters.

Challenge
In Germany’s competitive tech market Talentior focuses on high-demand, hard-to-find roles. Growth hit a hard limit: each recruiter was spending up to 15 to 20 hours a week on repetitive early-stage tasks, leaving less time for high-value work.
Typical pain points:
Manual sourcing: building complex boolean strings and combing through thousands of profiles across platforms.
Time-intensive screening: reading piles of resumes to find the handful of candidates who actually fit the technical and cultural brief.
Administrative overhead: handcrafting shortlists, client decks, and logging details: work that stole time from outreach and relationship building.
Scaling by hiring more recruiters would have been slow and costly. Talentior needed to multiply the output of their current team instead.

Solution
Talentior implemented Aera RecruitAI as an AI co-pilot layered over their existing ATS and workflows. The “white-glove” setup meant the system was integrated and live within days — keeping their familiar tools while automating the grunt work.
How it changed the day-to-day:
Natural-language briefs
Recruiters simply describe the role in plain english and the system understands the nuance without wrestling with keywords.AI-driven sourcing & screening
Aera runs a deep, web-wide search and evaluates candidates beyond keyword matches, scoring them on relevant skills and experience. Recruiters can see real-time status updates and the reasoning behind each match.Automated shortlists & client assets
Instead of spending hours assembling candidate packs, Talentior received pre-qualified shortlists and polished, client-ready documents automatically.Hyper-personalized messaging
RecruitAI drafts tailored messages that reference specific profile details, giving recruiters a strong, humanized starting point with a final human check before anything is sent.
Results
Within a few quarters Talentior turned their top-of-funnel from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage:
Much faster time-to-shortlist: Sourcing, screening and presenting qualified candidates that once took days now happen in a fraction of the time.
Greater recruiter capacity: Freed from manual sourcing, each recruiter could manage more open roles, driving a lift in successful placements approaching 20% per recruiter.
Higher candidate reply rates: Deeply personalized, AI-assisted outreach produced noticeably better engagement from top-tier candidates who typically ignore generic messages.
Scalable revenue growth: Talentior grew placements and revenue without immediately increasing headcount which improved profitability and strengthening their market position.
