AI Recruiting Agent

AI recruiting assistant is the front door for candidates. Answers questions about your open roles from information you provide, takes applications by email with consent recorded, tells people where their application stands, and hands anything sensitive to a human. It records each application so the screening and qualification agents can pick it up — it does not assess anyone itself.

Answer candidate questions using only the role information your company provided.

Answer candidate questions using only the role information your company provided.

How it works

1. Watches your careers inbox. Candidates write in as they normally would; there is no form and no portal. 2. Answers from what you gave it. Questions about a role are answered from the Jobs tab — responsibilities, requirements, location, the hiring process, and the closing date. It will not invent a salary, a benefit or a timeline that is not written there. 3. Takes the application. AI agent for recruiting collects name, contact details, the role, and explicit consent to store the application, then writes the row. Without consent, nothing is recorded. 4. Answers "where am I?". A candidate asking about their status gets the stage their row is actually in, in plain language — never a guess, and never another candidate's information. 5. Hands over cleanly. Anything it should not handle — a complaint, a request for feedback on a rejection, an accommodation request, an offer question — goes to a named person with the conversation attached. 6. Reports each morning. A daily summary of what came in, what is waiting on a human, and anything stuck. It also repairs incomplete rows where it safely can, and reports the ones it cannot rather than guessing. Install the Candidate Screening and Candidate Qualification agents alongside it and applications flow straight through: this one records, they pick up. All three share one workbook.
