   HireQuotient’s EasySource Hits Featured Listing on Paylocity Marketplace Within a Month of Launch (opens in a new tab)

   HireQuotient announced that EasySource, its AI sourcing agent, has been elevated to a featured listing on the Paylocity Marketplace less than a month after going live—among a small set of AI software titles featured there, per the company. The integration puts autonomous candidate discovery, evaluation, and multi-channel engagement in front of Paylocity’s mid-market HR customers, with candidate and new-hire data flowing into Paylocity to reduce duplicate entry. HireQuotient positions EasySource for frontline-heavy industries (healthcare, building services, construction, manufacturing, insurance, retail) and cites shared customers including BLOX and Kapnick, plus company-reported outcomes of 50–70% less manual sourcing effort, over $30,000 direct cost savings, and 45–60% faster time to hire at named customers. Recruiting and HR buyers on Paylocity get a native-path AI sourcing layer aimed at pipeline speed without adding headcount.

   Paylocity Launches Recruiting Optimizer, Adding AI Agents That Re-Engage Past Applicants and Keep Candidates Moving (opens in a new tab)

   Paylocity has introduced Recruiting Optimizer, a new add-on to Paylocity Recruiting that puts AI agents inside the hiring workflow, powered by its Ignite AI. The Candidate Engagement Agent chats with applicants over web and SMS to help them find and apply for roles, answer screening questions and schedule interviews, while the Talent Rediscovery Agent surfaces past applicants who match current openings and summarizes their history for the recruiter. Recruiters set the criteria, triggers and decision points each agent follows and keep the final call on candidates. Paylocity says the tool can lift recruiter productivity 35%, fill roles 25% faster and cut candidate drop-off 15% (company claims).
