Insights from a 20-Person Recruitment Team: How StrategyBrain AI Recruiter Transformed Hiring Efficiency

Introduction

At StrategyBrain, we design AI products that solve real problems for recruiters, HR leaders, and business owners. Our AI Recruiter helps companies find, engage, and convert candidates faster while reducing the manual workload that slows hiring teams down. In this customer success story, we share the experience of Rupesh, a business owner who implemented StrategyBrain AI Recruiter and quickly realized measurable improvements in efficiency, scalability, and lead generation.

About the Customer

Rupesh is the CEO of Marketplaces Tech Pvt. Ltd. and Director of Competitive Careers Pvt. Ltd., with more than two decades of leadership experience in the international education sector. Under his direction, Competitive Careers has become one of the leading education consultancies in South East Asia, providing counseling, applications, visa guidance, and IELTS training. The company has successfully recruited thousands of students for education institutes abroad each year and is recognized as a trusted global provider of international education solutions.

With memberships in leading global associations such as AAERI, IEAA, and NAFSA, and recognition by government agencies in Australia, India, Spain, and the UK, Competitive Careers is widely regarded as a global player in the international education industry. This scale and credibility demonstrate the organization’s strong presence and influence across international student recruitment markets.

To meet the fast-growing demand for study abroad services, Competitive Careers needed to quickly expand its counseling, admissions, and support teams. However, traditional hiring was slow, manual, and costly, creating an urgent need for scalable and efficient recruitment methods.

The Recruitment Team and Hiring Needs

Rupesh leads a team of about twenty staff members with multiple LinkedIn accounts dedicated to recruiting and business development. Before adopting StrategyBrain AI Recruiter, he often relied on manual recruiters and external tools. The challenge was clear: managing outreach across many LinkedIn accounts while maintaining personalized communication with candidates was difficult, repetitive, and slow.

He shared that his company had accumulated more than a dozen LinkedIn accounts for different staff members, ensuring they could target diverse candidate pools. Yet without automation and contextual understanding, managing outreach at this scale proved inefficient.

The Value of StrategyBrain AI for Rupesh

Rupesh discovered StrategyBrain AI Recruiter at the exact time when he was hiring. He highlighted how the product addressed his key pain points and delivered immediate value:

  • Consistent candidate leads every day
    Rupesh noted: “So daily basis I receive one or two leads for the job posting. I’m happy with that.” This consistent inflow was only possible because StrategyBrain AI Recruiter operates 24/7 without human intervention. The system continuously monitors candidate activity, sends outreach messages, and qualifies responses around the clock. For Rupesh, this meant he no longer had to rely on recruiters being online at specific hours, and his hiring pipeline stayed active even overnight or across different time zones. 
  • Real AI capability, not just automation
    He emphasized: “So this is what I see is a real AI application.” For Rupesh, the reason it is “real AI” lies in how the product works. StrategyBrain AI Recruiter personalizes communication for each candidate, adapts messages to the candidate’s background, and even switches seamlessly between languages. It engages in conversations any time of day, addressing questions and explaining role advantages without needing human recruiters to step in. In his own operations, the AI has approached candidates with tailored messages, answered their questions in context, and gathered resumes and contact details automatically. This level of contextual intelligence and autonomy set it apart from tools that only automate repetitive clicks.
    . 
  • Equivalent to having multiple recruiters on the team
    He observed: “For one license… I can definitely say there are four or five people working for me to contacting people and responding them.” What Rupesh described comes from StrategyBrain’s virtual recruiter team capability. A single license can coordinate across multiple LinkedIn accounts, execute hundreds of outreach actions, and personalize every response. The AI works like an always-on group of recruiters, each able to design individualized conversations. Instead of one recruiter juggling dozens of candidates, the AI makes sure that every candidate feels directly engaged, scaling the team’s reach dramatically. 

StrategyBrain AI Recruiter Functions and Use Cases

According to the official product page, StrategyBrain AI Recruiter empowers hiring teams in three powerful ways:

  1. LinkedIn Candidate Expansion in Multiple Ways
    Beyond basic LinkedIn search or LinkedIn Sales Navigator/Recruiter functions, the AI can expand candidate sourcing through related posts, groups, and events. This ensures a richer and more accurate way of identifying qualified candidates who may not appear in conventional search results. 
  2. 24/7 Multilingual Personalized Engagement
    The AI engages candidates around the clock in their preferred language, tailoring messages to their background and filtering for intent. It introduces open positions, answers questions, gathers resumes and contact details, and carries out entire conversations without human intervention. 
  3. Virtual Recruiter Team
    By supporting multiple LinkedIn accounts, StrategyBrain AI Recruiter creates a virtual recruitment team that works in parallel. This delivers the productivity of several recruiters working at once and allows hiring teams to scale their outreach without increasing headcount. 

Use Cases: The product is ideal for companies with no budget to expand recruitment headcount, for those entering overseas talent markets, for recruiting in non-English speaking regions, for bulk candidate screening, for building talent pools, and for headhunting agencies or individual recruiters seeking to multiply efficiency.

Why StrategyBrain AI Recruiter Stood Out

Rupesh had tried other tools such as Valxi and Hayrich but found them limited. He explained: “The problem with those tool is… their AI is limited… it will not read my previous message to them or their conversation. So that’s the big limitation.”

In contrast, StrategyBrain AI Recruiter offered a decisive advantage. Rupesh shared: “Your AI like most powerful thing I believe is the overall context. It locates the context and do the outreach accordingly.”

Unlike competitors that still require human monitoring and manual content input, StrategyBrain AI Recruiter is fully autonomous. Recruiters no longer need to track each message thread or manually craft replies. Instead, they simply review the qualified leads that the AI delivers. This efficiency is especially important compared with hiring human recruiters, who are costly, require training, and take time to become effective. Moreover, humans cannot consistently create personalized outreach at scale or adapt to each candidate’s context. StrategyBrain AI Recruiter removes those limitations, delivering higher-quality conversations and directly improving conversion efficiency.

As Rupesh also recalled: “Before this I used to hand over to the manual person. But we know the human being, they are not that creative to pitch that idea in different manners.”


The AI now handles this complexity with creativity and consistency.

Business Impact and Efficiency Gains

The results were tangible. By deploying StrategyBrain AI Recruiter:

  • The company received daily candidate leads automatically, without relying on recruiter availability. 
  • The AI’s contextual intelligence improved engagement quality, leading to higher conversions. 
  • Each license became equivalent to several recruiters working in parallel, multiplying output. 
  • The team could scale hiring across multiple LinkedIn accounts while maintaining personalized conversations. 

Rupesh summarized it best: “It is more than one person working for me means for one license… So this is what I see is a real AI application.”

Conclusion

Rupesh’s experience showcases how StrategyBrain AI Recruiter transforms recruiting for business owners and HR teams. By automating candidate sourcing, engagement, and qualification, the AI replaces repetitive manual work and creates a scalable hiring engine.

Key takeaways from Rupesh’s case:

  • AI Recruiter’s contextual understanding is unmatched in the market. 
  • The tool provides reliable daily candidate leads, thanks to 24/7 automation. 
  • Each license is equivalent to a virtual recruitment team, multiplying capacity. 
  • Businesses no longer need to depend on manual recruiters lacking creativity. 

As Rupesh explained: “Your AI like most powerful thing I believe is the overall context… So this is what I see is a real AI application.”

At StrategyBrain, we believe customer stories like this highlight the future of recruiting: intelligent, automated, and scalable. Rupesh’s success is proof that AI Recruiter is not just a tool, but a partner in growth.
