How it works.

 

Ways that Executive Recruiters and Search Firms are using Clockwork + AI

Candidate Sourcing and Rediscovery

The best candidates may be people your firm already knows or people you have yet to meet. In this video, we show how your AI can rediscover vetted talent in your database, source new candidates externally, and cross-check every result against your firm’s records.

Capturing Conversations and Generating Notes

Candidate conversations happen everywhere, but the record that matters lives in Clockwork. In this video, we show how your AI can pull a call transcript from your notetaker, summarize what matters, and save the reviewed note directly to the candidate’s record.

Business and Relationship Intelligence

When it comes to business development, every relationship presents an opportunity. In this video, we show how your AI can surface your firm’s full history with any company, including past searches, placements, and deals, and reveal where your relationships overlap to find your next mandate.

Market Mapping and Candidate Intelligence

Your firm already holds years of market knowledge in every candidate, past searches, companies and notes. In this video, we show how your AI can turn that data into a client-ready market map and surface a candidate’s full history with your firm before you present them.

Search and Daily Briefings

Knowing where every search stands shouldn’t take an afternoon. In this video, we show how one request to your AI pulls candidate statuses, recent notes, and team assignments into a single briefing that flags anything stalled, so you can track every search against its milestones.
