Executive Search
Erevena, a global executive search firm, adopted CoRecruit to automate interview notes and push structured updates into Ezekia—capturing critical candidate data and standardizing workflows.
“We were using another AI notetaker, but we had all kinds of problems with the outputs. On top of that, customer support was poor: any message we submitted would take 3 or more weeks to get a response.” - Gemma Bonnington, Erevena.
For Erevena, candidate report writing was one of the most time-consuming parts of the job — and one of the least valuable. A researcher working across eight or nine projects at once could spend the better part of a day writing and rewriting reports, only for those drafts to go through another round of review and editing with a senior partner.
The burden didn't disappear if researchers didn't write the reports — it just moved up the chain. And note-taking was equally fragmented: recruiters were so busy that logging interview notes in the system was consistently the last thing that happened, if it happened at all.
"I tested out a few other products, but CoRecruit really stood out. Not only was the platform great, but I also loved their feature roadmap, the level of customization, and how proactive & helpful their team was!" - Gemma Bonnington, Erevena.
Erevena adopted CoRecruit through their existing Ezekia integration. The platform automatically captures interview notes, generates AI summaries in customised formats based on call type, and produces first drafts of candidate and reference reports — ready for quick review and editing rather than being built from scratch.
What previously took 90 minutes now takes around 10. Researchers can focus on research and conversations. Senior partners no longer need to act as a second layer of documentation. The reports that go to clients are faster, cleaner, and produced with far less friction.
"It was taking me about an hour and a half to write a report, and now it can take 10 minutes or something — or even less. Taking that burden off the researchers, but also not then putting it on senior partners, is hugely valuable." — Mia, Head of Operations, Erevena
Candidate reports in a fraction of the time
The single biggest change for Erevena's team was the time reclaimed from report writing. Researchers who were previously spending hours documenting interviews now spend minutes reviewing and refining a first draft.
Customised templates for every call type
CoRecruit's ability to adapt its output format based on the type of call has been particularly valuable for Erevena. Rather than a generic transcript, the team receives structured notes in exactly the format they need — whether it's a candidate screen, a reference call, or a client intake.
The team is free to do what they were hired to do
With documentation handled automatically, Erevena's researchers can spend their time on research and candidate conversations — not on writing, rewriting, and waiting for partner sign-off.
Erevena rolled CoRecruit out gradually rather than all at once — a deliberate approach given the team's general resistance to new technology. What happened next surprised even Gemma. People started coming to her asking to be added to the next rollout. She was messaging the CoRecruit team asking to add extra users because demand had outpaced the plan.
For a team that typically stays as far away from new tech as possible, that kind of organic pull-through is rare.
"I literally have people coming to me saying, 'I've heard about CoRecruit — please can you just get me on the next rollout?' I'm having to message Josh like, 'I'm really sorry, but could you also add this extra person?' I don't think Erevena has ever seen that, because most people try and stay as far away from change and new tech as possible." — Gemma Bonington, Erevena.
Both Mia and Gemma called out CoRecruit's customer support as one of the standout aspects of the experience, and genuinely invested in making things work for the firm.
"One of the things we've been super impressed with is the customer service — it has just been absolutely exemplary. It doesn't feel like you're speaking to a slimy salesman that just wants to get your money. It feels like he genuinely cares about getting the right outcome for us. That is huge, and we've not found that with all tech providers we've spoken to." — Mia, Head of Operations, Erevena
We evaluated multiple approaches, and CoRecruit was the only solution that effectively addressed the challenge of capturing and operationalizing real-time conversation data in a practical, scalable way.
"People are coming to me saying they want to get on this tech — and that basically tells you everything you need to know." — Gemma Bonnington, Erevena
