Recruitment Skills Mapping and
AI-Powered Talent Intelligence
Build a rich, searchable talent pool with detailed skills data that goes far beyond what's on a CV. SkillDrill's conversational AI captures skills depth, qualifications, and experience levels so you can match candidates to roles faster and more accurately.
Recruitment agency challenges
Staffing agencies, temp agencies, and executive search firms face common frustrations when it comes to truly understanding candidate capabilities and matching them to the right roles.
CVs only tell half the story
You need to know the depth and recency of candidates' skills, not just job titles and dates. A CV cannot tell you how proficient someone actually is, how recently they used a skill, or what they could do with the right opportunity.
Matching relies on memory, not data
Matching candidates to roles relies on keyword searches and recruiter memory instead of real skills data. The best candidate for a role might already be in your database, but you would never find them without structured skills intelligence.
Compliance tracking is a nightmare
Compliance tracking across hundreds of contractors is manual, error-prone, and time-consuming. Right-to-work checks, DBS certificates, and industry certifications all expire at different times, and keeping on top of renewals is a constant battle.
Build richer candidate profiles through AI conversation
SkillDrill's conversational AI goes beyond the CV to capture skills, qualifications, and experience levels that traditional screening misses. Candidates have a natural conversation that uncovers the full picture of what they can do, how well they can do it, and how recently they have done it.
- Capture skills depth and proficiency levels, not just job titles
- AI adapts follow-up questions based on each candidate's responses
- Uncover transferable skills and hidden capabilities CVs never mention
- Build custom question sets for different sectors, roles, or client requirements
- Lightweight applicant accounts: capture skills only, no licence consumed against your staff seats
