Candidate Pre-Screening Agent

Automates the first stage of hiring. When a candidate applies, the agent screens them against the basic requirements you set and sends an acknowledgement either way. Passed candidates are appended to a Google Doc you choose, and the Candidate Qualification agent — installed alongside this one — takes them from there with a structured interview. Nobody is rejected without a reason being recorded.

Incoming applications are automatically checked against the basic requirements you define.

Incoming applications are automatically checked against the basic requirements you define.

How it works

1. Trigger. The agent runs when a candidate applies through the application webhook. 2. Screening. The application is evaluated against the basic requirements you wrote — experience, availability, location, transport, work authorisation and practical skills. The decision and the reason for it are both recorded. 3. Recording. The candidate's details are appended to the Google Doc you nominated at install, so passed applicants are in one place you already own. 4. Acknowledgement. Every applicant receives an email confirming their application arrived, whether they passed or not. 5. Handover. Passed candidates are passed to the Candidate Qualification agent, which installs with this template and runs the structured competency interview. The candidate's screening answers travel with them, so nothing they already told you is asked twice.
