Challenge
Each large deal meant sourcing 50-100 specialized engineers at once across 20+ countries. A 250-person sourcing team, commercial tools and an internal AI pilot could not keep up.
What we built
An end-to-end AI recruiting agent that reads job descriptions, keeps a large global dataset of public profiles up to date and ranks fit like a senior recruiter. Pilot in 5 days, V1 in 3 months.
How it works
- 01
Ingest
The agent reads each job description and the specialist skills it calls for.
- 02
Refresh
A global dataset of public professional profiles is kept up to date, so every search runs on current data.
- 03
Judge
An LLM-as-judge design weighs candidate-to-role fit with the nuance of a senior recruiter.
- 04
Focus
Recruiters work the top 20% of candidates and tune the agent for in-demand tech stacks.

Recruitment is the essence of our business. We needed speed, efficiency, and [Crisp] could work more on the advisory role - advised and helped us with the vision, what to try and what not to try. People then could utilize the latest developments. [...] Crisp came up with a pilot in only 5 days. [...] The solution paid for itself nearly 10 times over.
