12 to 60 active mandates. Same six recruiters.

As a staffing agency, TalentEdge's recruiter capacity was capped by how many mandates each recruiter could manually screen and interview candidates for — the common ceiling for a manual process is roughly 3-4 mandates per recruiter before quality drops, since every additional mandate means more resumes to read and more first-round calls to schedule and run by hand.

AI resume screening and AI-conducted first-round interviews took over the volume work that previously consumed recruiter time on every mandate. Recruiters shifted to reviewing AI-produced shortlists across mandates rather than reading every resume and running every screening call themselves — freeing them to focus on client relationships and closing rather than CV review.

TalentEdge scaled from 12 active client mandates to 60 — a 5x increase — with the same six-recruiter team, and reports saving an average of 40 hours per recruiter per week, based on internal platform data. We're citing these as TalentEdge's own reported figures, not independently audited numbers.

TalentEdge's specific numbers (12 to 60 mandates) are their own reported result and shouldn't be read as a guaranteed outcome for every agency — mandate volume, role complexity, and team structure all affect what's achievable. The underlying mechanism — AI screening and interviews removing the per-mandate manual bottleneck — is the general case JustInterview.ai is built around for staffing agencies.
