Private Azure-hosted AI environment and prompt library for recruiters
Robert Walters cut job-advert drafting from up to an hour to about three minutes with a private AI environment
Problem
Recruiters spent long stretches on administrative writing such as job adverts. The firm treats candidate data as high risk, comparable to financial data, so staff could not paste it into public AI tools.
Approach
Robert Walters built a private, Microsoft Azure-hosted AI environment where employees can work without exposing candidate data. It started with administrative tasks such as drafting job adverts and added a prompt library used by thousands of staff worldwide. The firm said it avoids AI for final candidate matching, and uses it for trend analysis and context instead.
Results
Takeaway
The firm began with low-risk writing work and kept the matching decision with people. The time saving is an executive statement, not a measured study.
