Paylocity launched Recruiting Optimizer, an AI-powered add-on to Paylocity Recruiting that embeds AI agents into recruiting workflows to automate candidate identification, engagement, screening, and scheduling. The product ships with two agents under the Paylocity Ignite AI umbrella: a Candidate Engagement Agent for conversational applicant interaction and a Talent Rediscovery Agent that surfaces qualified prior applicants from existing talent pools. A customer, Tim Dahle Auto Group, reports saving roughly 5-8 hours per recruiter per week, though the release discloses no financial metrics or pricing.
