How a Nationwide Staffing Agency Transformed Internal Sourcing and Matching with Asendia AI

This staffing agency specializes in permanent and contract placements and maintains a large, valuable internal candidate database built over years of recruiting. Rather than relying heavily on inbound applications, their strategy centers on maximizing the value of their existing ATS data.

Their goal was clear: Turn their internal database into a proactive, scalable sourcing engine.

The Challenge: Manual Internal Sourcing at Scale

Before Asendia AI, the agency's internal sourcing process was almost entirely manual. For every new role, recruiters were required to:

• Manually search the ATS
• Work around limited and time-consuming ATS search functionality
• Review candidates one by one
• Create shortlists manually
• Add candidates to a separate texting platform
• Manage outreach sequences by hand

This process consumed significant recruiter time, was difficult to standardize, and made it challenging to confidently surface the strongest candidates from the database.

The Solution: Asendia AI Internal Matching & Sourcing Agent

The agency implemented Asendia AI's internal sourcing and matching agent, purpose-built to fully leverage existing ATS data.

Intelligent Database Scanning & Matching

For every open role, Asendia AI:

• Scans the agency's entire ATS database
• Interprets job descriptions and role requirements
• Matches candidates based on skills, experience, and role-specific criteria
• Produces a shortlist of best-fit candidates
• Customizes matching logic to the team's preferences

This replaced hours of manual searching with a consistent and repeatable system.

Deep ATS + Texting Platform Integration

Asendia AI was integrated not only with the agency's ATS, but also custom-integrated with their existing texting platform. A fully automated workflow was built:

• A new role is opened
• Asendia AI identifies best-fit candidates from the database
• A custom multi-touch outreach sequence is generated
• Candidates are contacted via SMS, followed by phone calls with intelligent retries
• All engagement and responses are automatically logged back into the ATS
• Recruiters no longer needed to move candidates between systems or manage outreach manually.

Real-Time Recruiter Notifications

Asendia AI introduced real-time notifications that alert recruiters when candidates meet predefined criteria. This ensured strong matches surfaced immediately, allowing recruiters to act at the right moment without constantly monitoring the system.

Recruiter Feedback

The team described the solution as a game changer for internal sourcing. Leadership and recruiters highlighted:

• The accuracy of AI-driven candidate matching versus manual searches
• The reliability of job parsing and role interpretation
• The strength and flexibility of API-based integrations
• The clarity and usability of the backend system

What stands out is the progress on integrations and process. The system is pulling exactly what we expect from our ATS, and it's clear this is designed to automate how we search and match candidates. The backend visibility is impressive, and the parsing is working exactly as it should.
