Recruiting teams today are under pressure to move faster, communicate better, and reduce manual work without losing the personal touch that makes great recruiters successful.

That is exactly what our latest Exelare updates are focused on.

From AI-powered candidate review to automated candidate reach out, AI calling, built-in questionnaires, WhatsApp Web messaging support, and everyday workflow improvements, these enhancements are designed to help recruiters spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time making placements.

AI Candidate Rating and Match Analysis

Reviewing resumes against job requirements can take valuable recruiter time, especially when multiple candidates are being considered for the same role.

Exelare now helps recruiters evaluate candidates faster with AI Candidate Rating and Match Analysis.

The system analyzes a candidate against the job requirements and provides:

  • An overall match score
  • A plain-English explanation of why the candidate fits
  • Key strengths
  • Potential gaps
  • A summary that can help recruiters make better submission decisions

This helps recruiters quickly understand which candidates are strongest for a role and why.

Even better, the AI-generated analysis can be included when submitting candidates to clients or hiring managers. This gives clients more context during the review process and helps them make faster, better-informed decisions.

AI Candidate Reach Out

Speed matters in recruiting. When a candidate applies to a job, they may also be applying to several other opportunities at the same time.

Exelare’s AI Candidate Reach Out helps recruiters engage applicants quickly and professionally.

After Exelare receives a job application by email, the system can wait for a short cooling period, typically 5 to 10 minutes, and then automatically reach out to the candidate.

This helps recruiting teams:

  • Respond while candidate interest is high
  • Reduce delayed follow-up
  • Improve candidate engagement
  • Start the screening process faster
  • Reduce the risk of losing candidates to competitors

The goal is not to replace recruiters. The goal is to make sure every applicant receives timely attention while recruiters focus on higher-value conversations.

AI Agentic Calling

Recruiters spend a lot of time making initial outreach calls, confirming interest, checking availability, and asking basic screening questions.

Exelare’s AI Agentic Calling helps automate those early-stage conversations.

AI Calling can help:

  • Contact candidates automatically
  • Confirm job interest
  • Verify availability
  • Ask initial screening questions
  • Capture responses inside Exelare
  • Alert recruiters when a candidate is ready for follow-up

This is especially valuable for high-volume recruiting, healthcare staffing, light industrial staffing, IT recruiting, and any team that needs to move quickly through large candidate pools.

Exelare offers AI Agentic Calling at a practical usage-based price, including 1,000 calling minutes for $250, helping staffing firms scale outreach without adding unnecessary recruiter workload.

Built-In AI Questionnaires Included with Exelare

Many recruiting firms pay separately for form tools, survey platforms, or screening products to collect candidate information.

With Exelare, questionnaires are built directly into the platform and included with the subscription.

Recruiters can:

  • Generate job-specific screening questions using AI
  • Create reusable questionnaire templates
  • Send questionnaires by email or SMS
  • Track responses directly inside Exelare
  • Review answers from the candidate record
  • Complete questionnaires manually while speaking with candidates

Because everything stays inside Exelare, recruiters do not have to manage separate form software or chase responses across multiple systems.

This creates a cleaner, faster screening workflow and helps teams keep candidate information organized in one place.

WhatsApp Web Messaging Support

Candidate communication is changing. Many candidates respond faster to mobile messaging than traditional email.

Exelare now supports a faster WhatsApp Web messaging workflow.

With a single click, recruiters can launch WhatsApp Web with the candidate’s phone number preloaded, making it easier to start a conversation without copying and pasting phone numbers.

This can help recruiters:

  • Reconnect with candidates who have not responded to email
  • Confirm interview availability
  • Send quick follow-up messages
  • Improve candidate response times
  • Reduce communication friction

The WhatsApp Web handoff is included with Exelare at no additional integration fee, giving recruiters a practical way to use WhatsApp in their day-to-day workflow.

Grab IT Improvements for Faster Data Capture

Recruiters often capture candidate information from different sources, and not every page or profile is perfectly formatted.

The improved Grab IT functionality makes it easier to capture missing or corrected information.

If a parser misses a detail, recruiters can highlight the text and drag it directly into the appropriate field in Exelare.

This helps reduce:

  • Manual typing
  • Copy and paste errors
  • Incorrect candidate details
  • Time spent cleaning up records

It is a simple improvement that can save recruiters time throughout the day.

Intelligent CC for Candidate Submissions

Candidate submission emails often need to include multiple client contacts or internal stakeholders.

With the new Intelligent CC enhancement, Exelare can identify the secondary contact on a job and automatically add that person to the CC field when submitting a candidate.

This helps teams avoid missed communication and keeps the right people informed.

Benefits include:

  • Better client visibility
  • Fewer missed submission emails
  • Less manual CC entry
  • Smoother candidate submission workflows
  • Improved communication consistency

Smarter CSV Mapping

Importing data from spreadsheets is a common part of recruiting operations, whether the data comes from events, lead lists, candidate lists, or legacy systems.

Exelare now makes CSV imports easier with smarter mapping.

The system can detect common column headers automatically. For fields that need manual attention, users can quickly map them using a simple dropdown.

This helps teams import data faster, reduce cleanup time, and maintain better database accuracy.

Faster Saved List Search

Recruiters often work with multiple Saved Lists, including talent pools, hotlists, client-specific lists, job lists, and follow-up lists.

Exelare now includes search inside the Saved Lists area, making it easier to quickly find the right list without scrolling.

This small update can make a big difference for recruiters who manage large numbers of lists and need fast access to the right group of candidates or contacts.

Why These Updates Matter

Each of these improvements is designed around one core goal: helping recruiters move faster with less administrative work.

With the latest Exelare updates, recruiting teams can:

  • Review candidates faster with AI Candidate Rating
  • Send stronger submissions with AI-generated fit analysis
  • Engage applicants automatically through AI Candidate Reach Out
  • Scale early-stage outreach with AI Agentic Calling
  • Screen candidates using built-in AI questionnaires
  • Message candidates faster through WhatsApp Web support
  • Capture data more accurately with Grab IT
  • Keep stakeholders informed with Intelligent CC
  • Import data faster with smarter CSV mapping
  • Find important Saved Lists more quickly

Together, these enhancements help recruiters reduce friction, improve candidate engagement, and focus more time on placements.
