If you are an agency recruiter, you probably spend most of your time chasing candidates, screening, and trying to keep up with demanding clients. Without the right strategies, burnout becomes the norm.

Here is why!

• You might post a job and get hundreds of applications within minutes, since many candidates now use AI auto-apply tools to apply to hundreds of jobs even while they sleep.
• After hours of screening, you may realize most applicants aren’t qualified. Many use AI tools to polish their resumes and mirror your job description word-for-word to game the system. You waste countless hours, and by the time you find a serious candidate, weeks have passed, leaving you exhausted and drained.
• If you’re using a traditional ATS, it might not improve things. Most don’t filter out unqualified candidates upfront. They use keyword matching to score and rank applicants — but candidates are already using AI to polish resumes for those keywords. It ends up as AI judging AI, creating zero real value for everyone involved. This leads you to wasting time reviewing paper-qualified candidates who cannot perform on the job. Some of these tools also add complexity instead of reducing the workload.
