How Hansavest processed 1,800 international leads and hired 70 welders in 30 days — with one recruiter

Made 4 high-volume hiring. Fast-growing Nordic staffing agency Hansavest ran three simultaneous cross-border social media campaigns and compressed an avalanche of 1,800 raw leads into 70 certified hires, using a single human recruiter.

Are you building a staffing, recruitment, and workforce rental agency that hires from abroad using high-volume social media campaigns?

When sourcing talent internationally, traditional job boards are dead. Sourcing via social media catches passive talent, but it creates two massive bottlenecks: unmanageable lead volumes and immediate language barriers.

Here is how fast-growing Nordic staffing agency Hansavest modernised this exact flow.

The challenge: sourcing cross-border talent at scale

In January, Hansavest launched 3 simultaneous cross-border social media campaigns targeting specialized technical talent (industrial welders) from Uzbekistan.

Within 30 days, the ads generated an avalanche of 1,800 raw leads — luckily, an automated solution was already in place.

"I managed this entire high-volume funnel alone in just one month. Without Type4Work, it would have taken me at least a month just to complete the initial review of all 1,800 candidates. The greatest value is how the assistant filters out unsuitable profiles during the chat and highlights the candidates who are genuinely qualified and highly motivated."

Multilingual conversational AI

Hansavest deployed Type4Work's AI Recruiting Assistant to act as the automated, 24/7 frontline buffer. The exact second an international candidate clicked a social media ad, Type4Work initiated an instant, human-like chat in their native language via automated channels.

  • Automated language qualification: Type4Work immediately ran an automated language check. This filter instantly removed 20% of the applicants who lacked the necessary language proficiency, saving the recruiter from hundreds of wasted screening calls.

  • ATS data integration: All interaction logs, candidate responses, and qualification scores integrated directly into Hansavest's existing Applicant Tracking System (ATS), keeping the pipeline entirely automated and clean.

"Having partnered with the Type4Work team for over a year, I am consistently impressed by their development speed. The candidate flow is incredibly smooth, and having all data integrate directly with our internal ATS makes our day-to-day operations seamless."

The bottom line

If your staffing agency relies on cross-border sourcing via social media, speed and localized, instant qualification are your only advantages. Stop letting your ad spend go to waste while your recruiters try to manually call cold leads.
