For Recruiting Agencies

Headhunt.AI is the AI recruiting platform we built for our own agency and have been using in production for eight years. Now it’s available to you.
ESAI Agency · per recruiter
The problem
Your billing recruiters spend most of their week not billing.
Typical 40-hour week for a senior recruiter before Headhunt.AI. Sourcing, list building, and writing scout messages crowd out the activity that actually closes placements.
How it works
Three modules, one pasted JD, one click.
Target list generation, ESAI Score ranking, and bilingual scout mail — all produced from a single job description in one to two minutes.
Target List Generator
From a pasted job description, generate a list of up to 1,000 candidates drawn from our 4M+ Japan-focused profile database. Built primarily from public LinkedIn data, with public signals from X (formerly Twitter), GitHub, Facebook, and Instagram layered in where candidates are active. Refreshed continuously.
ESAI Score
Every candidate is scored 0–100 by our proprietary GPT-based matching engine, with a plain-language fit summary in Japanese or English. You know at a glance who’s worth the conversation.
Personalized Scout Mail
Personalized scout messages generated in business-level Japanese (with proper keigo) or English, tailored to each candidate’s background and the role. Paste into LinkedIn Recruiter, InMail, or your CRM.
Screening Guidance
Tell the AI what else matters.
Every senior recruiter weighs factors that don’t fit a search form — the kind of nuance you’d normally pass on to a junior on your team. Maybe certain backgrounds tend to signal strong fit. Maybe certain career patterns warrant a closer look. Maybe the JD already covers something. Write it in plain language. The AI uses it as extra context when ranking candidates and writing fit summaries — it’s guidance, not a hard filter. Nothing gets hidden. The strongest matches rise to the top, and anything you’ve flagged shows up clearly in the rationale.
ESAI Score
You only pay for candidates worth reading.
Every candidate on your ranked list is benchmarked 0–100 by the ESAI Score. Credits are only consumed by candidates who pass your search criteria and score 50 or higher — the matches you’d actually want to scout.
Production Results · Q1 2026
The lift compounds at every stage of the funnel.
Comparison of ESAI Agency recruiters working with Headhunt.AI vs. the same recruiters’ prior quarters on manual sourcing. All figures per recruiter, per quarter.
ESAI Agency production data, Q1 2026. Not a lab benchmark. Your mileage will depend on market, role mix, and recruiter tenure — but the directional improvement has held across every team we’ve deployed with.
Built for how agencies actually work
Same platform. Different unlocks.
Veteran recruiters who bill on relationships
You already know the market. What you’re short on is hours. Headhunt.AI gives you back the 15–20 hours a week you currently lose to sourcing and scout-mail writing — without changing how you pitch or close.
Growing agencies investing in ops leverage
You want new hires productive in weeks instead of months. Headhunt.AI hands your juniors a target-list and scout-mail engine that would otherwise take them a year of market-learning to replicate by hand.
MDs and founders who want to save costs and boost profits
Every hour your team spends on sourcing is an hour pulled from client and candidate facing work — the only activities that actually close placements. Headhunt.AI absorbs the low-leverage sourcing load, so senior time stays on the work that drives revenue and your cost-per-placement drops.
Overall pretty impressed. There were definitely people on there that I would not have found myself and the summary is very comprehensive.
Your workflow
Four steps from JD to first outreach. Under two minutes.
Paste the JD
Drop in any job description — Japanese, English, or mixed. No templating or tagging required.
Get the ranked list
Up to 1,000 matches, each with an ESAI Score 0–100 and a written fit summary. Refine with Screening Guidance if needed.
Export the scout mails
Personalized Japanese or English messages ready to paste into LinkedIn Recruiter, InMail, email, or your CRM.
Send and track
Send from your own tool. Replies come back to you. Headhunt.AI stays out of the candidate relationship.
Your database, continuously enriched
Every search adds to your recruiting capital.
Every candidate you surface through Headhunt.AI stays accessible to you. Re-score them against new roles in seconds. At Enterprise Annual pricing, this works out to roughly ¥63.75 per candidate added to your book — a recruiting database of real Japanese professionals, built passively while you do your job.

¥63.75 / candidate
Based on 6,000 credits/month at Pro rates compounded over 12 months.
ATS integration
Keep your ATS.Plug Headhunt.AI in beside it.
Push ranked candidates directly into your ATS
Candidate profile, ESAI Score, and bilingual scout mail all flow into your existing Salesforce-based ATS, Bullhorn, Zoho, or equivalent — as new records or enrichments on existing ones.
Enrich stale records automatically
Old candidate records get current company, current title, and a fresh fit assessment for any open role — turning your ATS from a graveyard into a live talent pool.
LinkedIn Recruiter CSV export (v1.1+)
Export candidates as a LinkedIn Recruiter–ready CSV to import into your existing Projects, contact them via InMail, and flow them into any ATS through RSC. APPI-aware by design — no candidate email addresses in the export.
Your data stays your data
Customer workspaces are isolated at the tenant level. Your searches, shortlists, and Screening Guidance are not shared across customers and not used to train models for anyone else.
