The opportunity

  • One of Ukraine’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, manages nearly 100 open vacancies and 1,000 active candidates across Ukraine and Central Asia, generating up to 3,000 screening calls.
  • The existing scripted voice bot struggled with unexpected answers, completing only 75% of conversations without human intervention. Recruiters had to manually verify results, while rigid scripts contributed to candidate drop-offs.
  • The client needed an AI-powered recruiter capable of conducting natural conversations, assessing candidates against vacancy requirements, and automatically passing qualified applicants to HR.

Our approach

  • We replaced the scripted bot with an LLM-powered AI Recruiter capable of conducting natural, adaptive screening interviews in Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh, and Uzbek.
  • Using an LLM reasoning layer and RAG knowledge base, the agent asks relevant follow-up questions, evaluates responses against role-specific criteria, and maintains a structured screening process.
  • We integrated the solution with CleverStaff ATS, automatically delivering call recordings, transcripts, candidate statuses, and AI assessments within 2 minutes after each interview.
  • A dedicated admin panel allows HR teams to independently manage vacancies, screening prompts, and voice settings without developer involvement.

Value created

  • Increased autonomous screening completion from 75% to 92%+, with 85%+ accuracy in matching candidates to vacancy requirements.
  • Reduced time to first candidate contact from 2 days to under 1 hour, with 24/7 availability and capacity to screen 10 candidates simultaneously.
  • Saved 35+ recruiter hours per week, with screening costs of approximately $1 per candidate.
  • Enabled natural, responsive conversations with under 3-second response times and automatic delivery of results to CleverStaff within 2 minutes.
  • Supported expansion into new regions in less than 1 day, without additional development.
