Executive Search
Unicorn Consulting Group is a boutique executive recruiting firm specialising in the entertainment industry. Small team, senior roles, and no admin support to lean on, which means every hour spent on documentation is an hour not spent on search. In that environment, speed to submission isn't just a nice-to-have. It's the difference between winning the placement and watching a client move on.
"As executive recruiters, having CoRecruit on board as part of our recruiting stack has really transformed our operation. It's made us faster, it's made us more agile, it's made us a lot more responsive to our clients." — Rob Pate, Managing Partner, Unicorn Consulting Group
Unicorn Consulting Group recruits for senior positions in a niche, competitive market. Their candidate profiles aren't short, they cover hard qualifications, soft skills, and a coherent narrative that gives clients a real picture of who they're considering. Building those profiles by hand, from notes taken during interviews, took up to two hours per candidate.
By the time a profile was ready to send, the window had sometimes already closed. Clients had moved on. Other firms had submitted. The work was good, it was just too slow.
The notes problem made it worse. Rob's team stored information everywhere. OneNote. Apple Notes. Word documents. Text files. When it came time to pull a candidate profile together, or talk through a shortlist in a team meeting, finding the right notes in the right place took time the team didn't have.
"We found that a lot of our submissions were happening much later than they should have been. By that time, sometimes clients had moved on or they'd received other candidates from other firms." — Rob Pate, Managing Partner, Unicorn Consulting Group
Unicorn Consulting Group adopted CoRecruit to fix the gap between the interview and the submission. The goal was simple: get a polished candidate profile in front of a client as fast as possible after the conversation ended.
What they got was more than speed. The Loxo integration meant interview reports flowed directly into the ATS the moment the call ended, no manual transfer, no searching through platforms, no wondering where the notes ended up. And because CoRecruit understood the structure and flow of a recruitment interview specifically, the summaries it produced were already close to submission-ready.
"We haven't found anything that was quite as optimised as CoRecruit is for interviews. We haven't found anything that really understood the flow of an interview and could pick up the topics and subjects covered. That's where CoRecruit really stood out." — Rob Pate, Managing Partner, Unicorn Consulting Group
Candidate profiles down from 2 hours to 15 minutes
Before CoRecruit, building a senior candidate profile took up to two hours. Now Rob's team spends around 10 to 15 minutes editing the CoRecruit summary and it's ready to send. The first submission after adopting CoRecruit, from interview to client delivery, took about an hour total.
Submissions go out faster, before clients move on
The speed improvement isn't just operational. It's commercial. Getting a strong candidate in front of a client before another firm does is the job. CoRecruit made that possible consistently.
Loxo is now the single source of truth
Notes no longer live across OneNote, Apple Notes, Word documents, and text files. Every interview report flows directly into Loxo. When the team meets to discuss a shortlist, the information is there. No searching. No reconstructing. Just the conversation.
Rob's team wasn't disorganised. They just didn't have a system that worked for everyone. Mac users had Apple Notes. Others had OneNote. Some had Word documents. None of it talked to each other, and none of it lived in Loxo where it was actually useful.
CoRecruit didn't ask the team to change how they worked. It just made sure everything ended up in the right place automatically. The notes consolidation happened as a byproduct of fixing the submission speed problem, and it turned out to be just as valuable.
"Having the API working between Loxo and CoRecruit really means that we can just have the notes in the ATS without really having to think about it. We can really use Loxo as a one-stop shop for all of our candidate information without having to search through a variety of other platforms." — Rob Pate, Managing Partner, Unicorn Consulting Group
Most AI notetaking tools are built for internal meetings. They're fine at capturing action items and decisions. They're not built to understand the structure of a recruitment interview, the way a conversation moves from background to motivation to compensation expectations to culture fit.
CoRecruit is. That's what Rob's team noticed when they compared it to the alternatives. Other tools produced transcripts. CoRecruit produced something closer to a candidate profile, structured, relevant, and ready to edit rather than rebuild from scratch.
"We also tried a few other AI note-taking applications. We haven't found anything that was quite as optimised as CoRecruit is for interviews." — Rob Pate, Managing Partner, Unicorn Consulting Group
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.
"Saves us a lot of time. I think you guys at CoRecruit really get our business. And I'm excited to continue being a customer." — Rob Pate, Managing Partner, Unicorn Consulting Group
