Why agencies switch

Screen unlimited applicants in parallel

No per-seat cap. Every desk and every live role is covered at once — coverage never competes for a recruiter's hours.

Structured, scored summaries

Every candidate returns with a score, summary, transcript and red-flag alerts — consistent across recruiters and clients.

Faster shortlists, better SLAs

Hand clients a ranked shortlist in hours, not days — win placements on speed and fill-rate.

Fits your Bullhorn workflow

Candidates and notes flow back into Bullhorn and your existing ATS — no rip-and-replace.

Common questions

Questions teams ask first.

Is this candidate screening software built for agencies?+

Yes — MagicScreen is AI candidate screening software designed for recruitment and staffing agencies running many roles at once. There's no per-seat or per-recruiter cap; high-volume months bill on usage. See /pricing for the per-applicant rate.

Can you keep each client's candidates separate?+

Yes. Roles and candidates are organised by client desk, so data and shortlists never cross between accounts.

Does it sync with Bullhorn?+

Candidates, scores and transcripts flow back into Bullhorn and other major ATS platforms, so your consultants keep working where they already do.

What do candidates experience?+

A short, on-demand AI voice interview they can take whenever suits them — branded to your agency. Most candidates prefer it to phone tag.

Which languages are supported?+

The AI auto-detects and switches mid-call across English, Polish, German, Ukrainian and more — useful for cross-border desks.
