AI for Recruitment Agencies in Portugal

Digiton builds production AI agents that handle the high-volume, repetitive work in recruitment so your consultants can focus on the decisions only humans should make.

Where recruitment agencies lose time every day

Portuguese recruitment agencies face a structural problem: the highest-value work, advising clients and closing placements, competes for the same consultant hours as inbox management, scheduling, and CV sorting. AI does not replace consultants. It removes the pile of low-judgment work that slows them down.

What Digiton builds for recruitment agencies

CV screening and scoring agents

We build agents that read incoming applications against a structured role brief, extract the relevant signals (years of experience, specific tools, language requirements, location) and rank candidates before a human ever opens a file. The agent outputs a scored shortlist with reasons, not just a sorted list, so the consultant can interrogate the logic and override it.

Automated interview scheduling

Scheduling is one of the most time-consuming parts of recruitment. An AI scheduling agent connects to your calendar and the candidate's available windows (collected via a brief intake form), proposes times, sends calendar invites, and handles reschedules. Consultants stop playing email ping-pong for slots.

Candidate communication workflows

Most candidates receive poor follow-up because consultants are stretched. We build automated workflows that send personalised status updates at each stage of the pipeline, acknowledge applications on receipt, and resurface cold candidates when a matching role opens. These run on n8n or custom code, integrated with your existing ATS or CRM.

RAG-powered job brief assistant

When a new role comes in, consultants spend time re-learning the client's context. A knowledge agent built on your past briefs, placed candidates, and client notes answers questions like: what profiles has this client rejected before? Which sourcing channels worked for this role type? This is retrieval-augmented generation grounded in your firm's own data.

How an engagement works

Digiton starts with a scoping call to map which part of the recruiting workflow costs the most consultant hours. We then build a focused proof-of-concept, typically around CV screening or scheduling, that you can measure against a real requisition before committing to a broader build. Deployments run in Portugal and across the eight countries where Digiton currently operates client systems.

What this is not

Generic chatbots that answer FAQ questions are not recruitment AI. The systems Digiton builds are integrated with your data sources, your calendar, your ATS, and your communication channels. They produce structured outputs that feed into consultant workflows rather than sitting as a separate tool that no one uses.
