AI Contingent Staffing Search Agent

Automating Contingent Workforce Database Search with AI
Semantic Search Beyond Boolean Limits
The agent uses vector-based semantic retrieval to surface candidates with adjacent skills and non-standard titles that traditional keyword searches miss—matching "React" to "Next.js" or "GL" to "general ledger" automatically.
AI Grading with Explainable Fit Scores
Every candidate receives a multi-factor score based on skills alignment, rate fit, location feasibility, compliance readiness, and assignment history—with clear rationale so recruiters understand exactly why each candidate ranked where they did.
Rediscovery of Silver Medalists and Alumni
Automated sweeps continuously resurface past applicants, contractors, and talent community members based on updated availability signals and assignment end dates, turning dormant databases into active talent pipelines.
How Cassidy automates using-ai
Step 1: Trigger on new requisition
The Workflow activates when a new req enters via VMS integration, client email, or portal—Cassidy parses the job description to extract skills, certifications, location, rate bands, and work type.
Step 2: Normalize and apply business rules
Cassidy maps extracted requirements to your standardized skills ontology and applies client-specific guardrails: must-have credentials, pay/bill rate limits, tenure policies, and co-employment rules.
Step 3: Search and rediscover internal talent
Cassidy runs semantic search across your ATS/CRM to surface past applicants, silver medalists, alumni, and contractors with matching or adjacent skills—de-duplicating records and resolving entity conflicts automatically.
Step 4: Grade candidates and build shortlists
Each candidate receives an AI fit score weighing skills alignment, domain experience, rate expectations, compliance readiness, and predicted tenure. Cassidy assembles prioritized shortlists with explainable rationale for each ranking.
Step 5: Run compliance and eligibility pre-checks
The Workflow validates worker type (W2/1099/C2C), tenure thresholds, cooling-off periods, and credential prerequisites—flagging any compliance gaps before outreach begins.
Step 6: Launch personalized outreach
Cassidy triggers automated email or SMS campaigns to confirm interest, availability, and rate expectations. Dynamic knockout questionnaires capture updated resumes, certifications, and shift preferences.
Step 7: Package submittal to VMS
Compliant candidate packages—including resume, rate, EEO fields, and credentials—are submitted directly to the client's VMS. Cassidy tracks time-to-submit and captures hiring manager feedback to refine future matching.
Step 8: Monitor for redeployment
Cassidy watches assignment end dates and pre-pipes contractors for next placements, lifting redeployment rates and keeping your talent pools engaged and active.
