There are two types of agency out there right now.

One has a consultant or two mucking around with GPT, Claude, Copilot, or Gemini for the odd email. The other has actually wired AI into how the desk runs, day to day. The gap between those two isn't small, and it isn't staying still. It's widening, every month.

We built our Claude for Recruiters course because we kept seeing the same pattern on client calls. Agencies who dabble stay roughly where they started. Agencies who set it up properly start pulling away, on speed, on quality, and on the hours they get back to actually sell and place.

Where does your desk actually sit?

Five questions, thirty seconds, no email required. Answer honestly, not aspirationally.

1. How do you currently use AI on your desk?

2. Where does your client and candidate knowledge actually live?

3. When you write a candidate summary or job ad

4. How do you follow up on old leads and warm contacts?

5. Is any of this repeatable across your team?

Answer all five to get your result.


Wherever you landed, here's the thing. This isn't a list of clever prompts. It's a proper course, sixteen sessions, called Claude for Recruiters, built to move you from that result to actually running your desk on it.

What it actually builds on your desk

Sixteen sessions, built for working recruiters who've already used some form of AI. No time wasted explaining what AI is. Here's the shape of it:

1

Connect and calibrate

Wire Claude to email, calendar, documents and your note-taker, then learn the three moves that get you sharp, on-brand output instead of generic AI copy.

2

Build your inputs

Tone of voice, gold-standard examples, and client and candidate personas, built from your real transcripts and emails, not guesswork.

3

Load it as knowledge

Everything goes into a Project, so Claude works from your standard automatically, every time, without you re-explaining yourself.

4

Build your Skills

Starting with a candidate summary, then a full-role Skill that takes one briefing transcript and drafts the whole stack around it.

5

Win new business

Mine your own history for warm leads you never converted, turn senior candidates into BD leads, and research any target company before you pick up the phone.

6

Make it stick

A daily prep habit, a growing Skill library, and simple guardrails so your whole team uses it safely.

The full-role skill

One briefing transcript in. A job ad, candidate approach messages, screening questions, candidate profiles, interview confirmations, prep emails and client updates out, in your voice, in one go.

That's the whole opening stack for a role, built from a single input instead of assembled document by document. Real hours back on the desk, every single week.


It's not just admin, it's BD too

Warm leads you already have

Mine a year of emails and transcripts for people you engaged with but never billed, and get a fresh reason to reopen the conversation.

Candidates as your door in

Turn senior candidates you've interviewed into BD leads at the businesses they now work for.

Research in minutes

Any target company, sector, or a competitor's job ad, researched and briefed before you make the call.

Kept human

Outreach drafts become call scripts, not emails. Claude drafts, you do the judgement and the relationship.
