AI Recruitment Showcase 2025: Meet the cheeky AI changing the hiring game
Scotty AI took part in the AI Recruitment Showcase 2025, a webinar by Recruitment Pioneers held on 6 March 2025. This article was written ahead of the session and explains what we came to show.
Hiring is having a midlife crisis. You know the signs: it’s slow, unpredictable and stuck doing things the old way. Candidates are left waiting, recruiters are drowning in applications, and everyone wonders whether there is a better way.
Scotty AI is a platform to design, deploy and scale AI agents that do the work: engaging candidates, handling outreach, scheduling interviews and keeping hiring teams in the loop.
Old hiring problems, meet AI solutions
Traditional recruitment has carried the same headaches for decades: manual screening, scheduling ping-pong, bias creeping into decisions, and the candidate “black hole” where applicants never hear back. Recruiters work hard, but there is only so much one person can do with limited time.
Speed and scale. An AI agent answers every applicant within minutes and screens them straight away, however many apply.
Consistency. The same criteria are applied to every candidate, on a busy Monday and a tired Friday alike.
Candidate engagement. Automated updates mean no candidate is left hanging. Everyone gets an answer and a next step.
Always on. Recruiters need sleep. An agent keeps screening, answering questions and booking interviews in the evening and at the weekend.
The goal isn’t to take people out of the process. It’s to free them from the admin so they can do what they are best at: building relationships, judging team fit and making the final call.
Case study: Charlie, PostNL’s AI recruiter
PostNL moves millions of parcels a day, but its hiring could not keep up. Applications piled up, recruiters were stretched, and by the time they reached out, many candidates had moved on. So PostNL introduced Charlie, an AI agent that pre-screens applicants, schedules interviews and follows up. Read the full PostNL client story.
Faster hiring. Charlie responds to candidates within minutes of their application and gets them screened and scheduled.
Candidates like it. 91% of candidates rated the experience 4 or 5 stars.
Lower cost. PostNL reports 73% lower recruitment costs, and recruiters spend their time on candidates instead of chasing applications.
The human touch got stronger, because the agent handles the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
One platform, many kinds of work
The webinar focused on recruitment, but the platform is not tied to one industry. The same technology behind Charlie runs agents in customer service, sales and operations. Companies define an agent’s tone, process and decision rules, connect it to their own systems and channels, and keep it under their control.
