Instead, we craft bespoke AI systems tailored to the unique cadence of recruitment—handling variable placement fees, timesheet integrations, and multi-stakeholder approvals. Picture your invoice process as a well-oiled placement pipeline: AI extracts data from emails and contracts, matches it against your ATS like Bullhorn or Workable, and routes approvals via Slack or Microsoft Teams. No more digging through spreadsheets. This enterprise-grade solution integrates deeply with your existing stack, ensuring compliance with agency billing standards while slashing administrative drag. We've seen agencies reclaim 20+ hours weekly, redirecting focus to what matters: building client relationships and filling roles faster.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Time and Cost Savings Tailored to Your Agency
Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly on Billing Tasks
Reclaim 20+ Hours Weekly on Billing Tasks: Manual invoice handling for candidate placements steals time from sourcing passive talent and nurturing client relationships. Our AI automates data extraction from ATS systems, validates against contract SLAs, and routes for approval—freeing your recruiters for high-value activities. Mid-sized staffing agencies report a 35% productivity boost, with one firm saving 1,200 hours annually across 15 recruiters by focusing on pipeline growth instead of admin drudgery.
Achieve 4x Faster Cash Flow Cycles
Achieve 4x Faster Cash Flow Cycles: Delayed invoices from client disputes over placement fees mean stalled commissions and eroded client trust. By automating approvals via integrated workflows and predictive payment tracking, our system shortens Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) from 45 to 12 days for consulting billings. This enables quicker revenue recognition under ASC 606 standards and healthier margins—proven to deliver 25% cost reductions in accounts payable for mid-sized agencies handling 500+ placements yearly.
Eliminate Errors Costing You 15% of Billings
Eliminate Errors Costing You 15% of Billings: Mismatched timesheets for contract consultants or overlooked markups in vendor management lead to client disputes and costly rework. Our AI cross-references timesheet data with placement contracts at 99% accuracy using OCR and NLP, ensuring every invoice complies with fee schedules. Result: Reduced escalations by 40%, a robust audit trail for IRS compliance, and enhanced trust—driving 20% more repeat business in expertise-driven staffing models.

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable placement fees in recruitment?
Our AI is trained on recruitment-specific patterns, analyzing contract terms and timesheet data to calculate fees dynamically—whether it's a 20% markup on perm roles or hourly rates for temps. We customize the model to your agency's fee structures during discovery, ensuring 99% accuracy. For instance, it flags discrepancies like overtime not captured in Bullhorn, routing them for quick review. This prevents underbilling, which plagues 40% of agencies per industry reports, and integrates directly into your workflow without manual overrides. Setup takes 2-4 weeks, with full ROI in under three months through faster cycles.
Will this integrate with our existing ATS like Lever or Greenhouse?
Absolutely— we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with popular ATS platforms. Our engineers map your invoice data to candidate records, pulling placement details automatically. No more copy-pasting from Lever to spreadsheets. We've done this for dozens of agencies, reducing integration errors by 85%. The process starts with API access, followed by custom scripting to handle unique fields like requisition IDs. Post-launch, we provide a unified dashboard showing invoice progress alongside open roles, helping you correlate billing speed with fill rates.
What about data security for sensitive client and candidate info?
Security is non-negotiable in recruitment, where client confidentiality drives trust. We build with enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) and role-based access, ensuring only authorized team members see invoice details tied to candidates. Compliant with GDPR and CCPA, our systems log all actions for audits—vital for agency contracts. Unlike cloud assemblers, you own the infrastructure, hosted on your preferred secure provider like AWS. In one deployment, we shielded a firm handling executive searches from a potential breach, maintaining zero incidents over two years.
How long until we see ROI from this invoice automation?
Most agencies realize positive ROI within 60-90 days. By automating 80% of manual tasks, you save 15-25 hours weekly at $50/hour labor costs—that's $3,000+ monthly recouped immediately. Add faster payments reducing DSO by 30%, and collections improve by 20%. We benchmark against your current metrics during consultation, projecting exact savings. One client, a 50-person agency, hit 4x ROI in Q1 by streamlining 200+ monthly invoices, freeing admins for client outreach.
Can this scale if our agency grows or adds new service lines?
Yes, our architecture is designed for scalability, handling 10x volume increases without rework. As you expand into RPO or international placements, we modularize the AI to incorporate new variables like currency conversions or regional compliance. Built on robust frameworks, it supports unlimited users and invoices—unlike no-code limits that cap at 1,000/month. We include quarterly reviews to optimize, ensuring it evolves with your business. A growing agency we partnered with scaled from 100 to 500 placements monthly seamlessly, maintaining 95% automation rates.
What if we have legacy systems or non-standard invoice formats?
No problem—our custom approach tames even the messiest setups. We ingest data from legacy ERPs or emailed PDFs via AI parsing, normalizing formats on the fly. For non-standard elements like handwritten notes on temp agency invoices, machine learning adapts over time. In a recent project, we integrated a 20-year-old custom CRM, automating 90% of inputs that previously took two full days. The key is our initial mapping session, where we document every quirk, delivering a system that feels native to your operations.
