Who this is for
Why recruiters run with AISS
- Built on a real desk, not in a lab. AISS runs the same plays a top biller runs, because it was built by one who still runs a desk. Not a generic automation wrapper.
- It works in your voice. Outreach and follow-up go out sounding like you, not like a bot blast. Your relationships stay yours.
- The machine takes the 30 hours, you keep the 3. Sourcing, sequencing, logging, and admin move to the engine so your week is built around conversations, not buried under them.
- Paced to what one desk can close. Not a firehose of leads. A workable handful every morning, sized to what you can actually work.
- Independent-first. Made for solo recruiters and boutique firms, the desks the enterprise tools were never built for.
Where to draw the automation line
- Automate: sourcing and list-building
- Automate: first-pass outreach and sequencing, in your voice
- Automate: follow-up reminders and cadence, so nothing goes cold
- Automate: scheduling, note-logging, and pipeline tracking
- Keep human: judgment on fit, motivation, and timing
- Keep human: trust-building, hard conversations, and the close
What to take away
- The test: repeatable and judgment-free goes to the machine.
- Automating the relationship is how you automate away the business.
- Done right, automation makes you more personal, not less, because you have the time.
Frequently asked questions
What should never be automated on a recruiting desk?
The relationship and the judgment: reading fit and motivation, the hard conversations, and the close. Automate the grind around those, never those themselves.
How do I know where the line is?
Ask whether the task needs your judgment or your relationship. If not, and it repeats, automate it. If it does, keep it, and use the freed time to do it better.
Who built this
Lee Fossey has spent nearly thirty years in executive search and talent acquisition, running business development, building desks, and billing at the top of the market. AISS is the system he built to run his own desk: the BD, sourcing, sequencing, and follow-up handled by an engine in his own voice, so his hours go to the conversations that actually close. He would rather show you the desk working than sell you on it.
