Vacancy intake
Turn an agreed client brief into a structured vacancy record, tasks and follow-up prompts.
Business efficiency for recruitment
Reduce recruitment admin while keeping people in charge of candidate decisions.
Sterling helps recruitment teams improve the movement of information between enquiries, inboxes, calendars and CRMs—without automating judgement that belongs with a recruiter.
Three workflows to examine first
Start where repeated work and handoffs create friction.
Candidate administration
Capture consented information, coordinate document requests and keep CRM records complete.
Interview coordination
Reduce email back-and-forth by connecting availability, confirmations, reminders and status updates.
Practical safeguards
Efficiency without losing control.
Recommendations are proportionate to the risk, the information involved and the decisions people need to retain.
- No automated hiring decisions
- Explicit handling rules for candidate personal data
- Human review of AI-assisted summaries
- Logs for record changes, communications and consent

Illustrative worked example
A practical result, shown transparently.
Situation: a local professional-services team receives enquiries by email, retypes details into a spreadsheet and manually arranges follow-ups.
Illustrative improvement: one structured form can capture the details, create a consistent record, prepare an acknowledgement and prompt a human to review the next step.
This is an illustrative example, not a client testimonial or a claim of measured savings. Any recommendation and expected benefit would be validated against the business's real process.

Questions from recruitment
Useful answers before you start.
Does this involve automated candidate screening?
Not by default. Sterling focuses first on administrative friction and keeps recruitment judgement with people.
Can this work with our existing CRM?
Potentially. The audit checks available integrations, data quality and workflow constraints before recommending a connection.
