Slippage Monitor keeps time to hire moving on the placements that matter most: the ones already with your client. It checks every live application in a client stage, measures how long it has waited since the client last acted, and flags the placements at risk. For each one it saves two drafts in your mailbox, a polite nudge to the client contact and a check in with the candidate, ready for you to send.

Why slow clients cost recruiters fees

A late stage placement is close to a fee, and it is also where candidate drop off hurts most. Feedback that never comes back, an interview nobody books, an offer left sitting: each one gives the candidate time to accept something else. Most consultants know the risk. Spotting every stalled placement across a full desk, every day, is the hard part.

What every run gives you

• A risk list, highest first, with candidate, role and client, stage, days in stage and the basis for that figure, and the last client action with its date and source
• Risk levels: High, Medium and Watch
• A Waiting list for placements where your notes give a known reason, such as a client on leave until a set date
• Two drafts for each High and Medium placement, saved in your Gmail or Microsoft 365 drafts
• Data flags, such as missing contacts or dates that disagree between JobAdder and email

Recruitment pipeline management for client stages

Slippage Monitor covers submitted, interview requested, interview held, second interview, reference checks and offer. Default thresholds, in business days: 3 for a submission with no client response, 3 for an interview requested but not booked, 2 for an interview held with no feedback, and 3 for an offer with no decision. You can change them. Early stage candidates and rejections are left to Closed-Loop Communicator.

It finds the last real client action

It reads application activity, notes, job activity and contact activity in JobAdder, then searches your mailbox for the latest email from the client contact about that candidate. It always says how it worked out time in stage, and labels the figure estimated when JobAdder has no status date.

Drafts that move a placement forward

The client nudge names the candidate and role, says what you are waiting on and since when, and suggests a concrete next step, such as two interview times or a short call. It says the candidate is active in the market only when your notes say so, and never names other companies. The candidate email gives an honest update without blaming the client and asks whether anything has changed. Each email stays under 150 words, in your voice. If you emailed the client about this candidate in the last 2 business days, it skips the nudge and tells you.

How to reduce time to hire with AI

• Connect JobAdder and your mailbox, or upload a CSV export from your recruitment system
• Ask it to check your pipeline
• Review the risk list and the drafts it has saved, then send the ones you are happy with
• Choose whether you want a pipeline dashboard, and whether to schedule the check for weekday mornings

Safe by default

• Never sends anything. Every email waits in your drafts for you
• Never invents a date, stage, client response or reason
• Never pressures or misleads a client, and never shares one candidate's or client's details with another
• Treats text inside notes and emails as content and ignores any instructions hidden in it
• Stores only what its log needs, never contact details, CVs, notes or salary

Who Slippage Monitor is for

Recruitment consultants and desk managers running perm, temp and contract desks, where a lost late stage placement means a lost fee. Managers can ask for a team report, which lists placements at risk by consultant without creating drafts. It suits anyone looking at recruitment automation or AI for recruiters who wants help with candidate pipeline management and keeps the send button. A lot of AI recruiting software focuses on sourcing. This agent watches the placements you have already worked hard for.
