How agencies use it
From new vacancy to client shortlist
Lumo360 fits around how agencies already work: one vacancy, many applicants, one client to impress.
01
Load the client's job description
Lumo360 turns it into a structured set of competencies. Your consultant reviews and adjusts them, so the screen reflects what the client actually wants.
02
Invite every applicant
Candidates take a spoken, conversational first round in their own time. The interviewer follows up on vague answers, as a good consultant would.
03
Review the evidence
Each candidate gets a competency-by-competency report, with every score linked to the transcript. Your consultant decides who goes forward.
04
Send a stronger shortlist
Share candidates with the reasoning attached, so the client sees why each one is on the list.
Pricing that fits agency volumes
Pay for interviews, not seats
Agency volume is uneven: busy one month, quiet the next. Lumo360 uses credits, so you can pay as you go or buy a bundle at a lower price per credit.
Credits are reserved when a candidate is invited and only charged when the interview is completed. No-shows don't cost you anything.

FAQ
Common questions
How do recruitment agencies use AI for candidate screening?
The most common use is the first-round screen: an AI interviewer has a structured conversation with every applicant, and consultants review the results instead of making every first call themselves.
Will clients accept AI-screened shortlists?
Clients care about the quality of the shortlist and the reasoning behind it. Lumo360 links every score to the transcript, so you can show a client exactly why a candidate was put forward, and a consultant reviews every result.
How is Lumo360 priced for agencies?
With credits. Pay as you go, or buy a bundle at a lower price per credit. You're only charged for interviews candidates complete.
Does it replace our consultants?
No. It replaces the repetitive first call. Consultants still decide who goes forward, and spend more of their time with shortlisted candidates and clients.
What do candidates experience?
A structured, spoken conversation, much like a phone screen, which they complete when it suits them, with nothing to schedule.
