Making Recruitment More Human with AI | Ryan Frampton of CoRecruit
In this episode of RecTalk, Nitin is joined by Ryan Frampton, Co-founder & CEO of CoRecruit (formerly Quil) — one of the fastest-evolving AI tools built specifically for recruitment agencies. What started as a sales note-taking tool pivoted — by accident — into one of the most powerful recruitment-specific AI platforms on the market. And this isn’t just another “AI will replace recruiters” conversation. This is about: * Why Ryan rebranded twice — and what most founders get wrong about inertia * The real difference between free note-takers and premium recruitment AI * Why CoRecruit refuses to build AI interviewers * How recruiters can move from transactional to strategic partner * Turning candidate conversations into market intelligence * Using CRM automation properly (and why most recruiters don’t) * How AI can make recruitment MORE human — not less Ryan breaks down how CoRecruit integrates with 40+ ATS & CRM systems, auto-updates records (yes — dropdowns too 👀), reformats CVs, generates high-quality candidate write-ups, and even helps managers coach their teams using real conversational data. They also talk about: * Moving from contingency to retained positioning * How to justify higher fees * The psychology of “showing your workings” to clients * Why most recruiters are underusing their own data * And the brand evolution from Quil to CoRecruit If you think all note-takers are the same… this episode will change your mind. 🎯 Who This Episode Is For * Recruitment agency owners wanting to improve margins * Recruiters looking to justify higher fees * Teams struggling with CRM compliance * Leaders managing remote recruiters * Agencies wanting to move into retained or strategic partnerships * Anyone comparing free AI tools vs premium recruitment tech If you have recs on, and you’re trying to do more with the same headcount — this is essential listening. 🔗 Connect with the guest Ryan Frampton: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-frampton-02623a100/ Check out CoRecruit: https://www.rectools.io/product/corecruit/ Try a free demo: https://corecruit.com/try-for-free 🔗 Connect with the host Nitin Sharma: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nitin-rectools/ Discover recruitment tools and services: https://www.rectools.io/ New episodes of RecTalk, including Founder Diaries and Talking Talent, currently drop on Wednesday and Friday.
