How does AI recruitment work?

Upload your job specification and our AI analyses the role against our capability matrix. It determines which tasks can be handled by an AI agent and which need a human contractor. You get transparent pricing for both options based on live UK market data.

What does an AI worker actually do?

AI workers are purpose-built agents that handle specific business tasks — data processing, customer support, report generation, scheduling, content creation, and more. They run 24/7, scale instantly, and integrate with your existing tools.

How much does an AI agent cost per month?

AI agent pricing starts from £499/month and is calculated based on the complexity of the role. This typically works out at around 15x cheaper than hiring a full-time employee. You can pause or cancel anytime.

How are your prices different from a traditional recruitment agency?

We charge a transparent 20% margin on contractor day rates. The difference is total transparency: we show you the base market rate, our margin, and the final price. No hidden fees, no inflated rates, no retainers. AI agents are flat monthly pricing.

What roles can AI agents replace?

AI agents work best for roles with high volumes of structured, repeatable tasks — data entry, customer service, basic accounting, report generation, scheduling, and social media management.

Is my data secure when I upload a job spec?

Yes. Your job specifications are processed securely using encrypted connections and stored in our encrypted database. We never share your data with third parties and comply with UK GDPR.

How quickly can I hire through FutureFill?

AI agents can be deployed within 24 hours. Contractors are typically placed within 5 working days.

What if the AI assessment is wrong about my role?

The AI assessment is a starting point, not a final decision. When you book a call with our team, we'll review the analysis together and discuss the best approach for your specific situation.
