AI recruitment agents for every desk you run
Anything your people do on Talisman, an agent can take on. Perm, contract, temp and shift.
So what could an agent do for you?
Your people work every corner of Talisman. The candidate, the client, the job, the placement, the booking, the week, the pay run and the invoice.
An agent reaches the same records, on the permissions of the person who set it up. Give it the job you would give a new starter, and it works that job every day.

AI recruitment agent FAQ
What is an AI recruitment agent in Talisman?
It is a named worker with one job, built to do that job the way your best consultant does it. It works on your live Talisman records and follows the permissions of the person who set it up. Every action follows the brief you approved. It puts the result in front of a human. Uncertain work carries a reason and waits for the right person. Suitability, compliance, payroll, client and commercial decisions stay with your people.
Which AI-agent roles can agencies meet today?
Sourcing Sam reads CVs and codes profiles. Compliance Clara chases certificates and expiry dates. Timesheet Tommy turns submitted and photographed hours into something usable. Growth Grace drafts outreach and fills in missing contact detail. Manager Max writes the morning briefing. Those are the agents live in the product today, and the roster grows as we build.
How can managers control agent work?
One screen shows which agents are running, how far through they are and what they produced. It also shows each run cost, work waiting for someone to check and every earlier run. You can stop a run mid-way and start it again later. Checkpoints make it pause and ask. Summaries show where it stopped and why. A playbook lets you write down the way your agency does a thing once, so the agent follows it every time.
How do agencies start with Talisman AI agents?
Start with the process you know best. Run it on live Talisman records for one to six weeks while the desk carries on as normal. Compare what the agent did with what your team would have done. Correct the brief, then widen it when the work matches. Getting an agent right takes careful correction from the first run. Permissions, the queue of work and the stop button apply from that run. So do the full run history and everything that goes back onto the record.
Can approved assistants such as ChatGPT, Copilot and Claude use Talisman context?
Yes, where they are connected and approved. ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Claude come in as the signed-in person in that agency's own environment. They reach only the records and actions that person can already reach. What they get ready waits for someone to check it. Every action carries the name of the person who asked for it. And you can still see what ran and what it cost.
