# Hire Faster, Screen Smarter, Onboard Smoother

AI employees that screen resumes, engage candidates, schedule interviews, and automate onboarding. Your recruiting team scales without adding headcount.

Your AI recruiting employees take over the high-volume, repetitive work that buries your HR team. They screen resumes against your criteria, send personalized candidate outreach, coordinate interview schedules across time zones, and generate onboarding packages. Your human recruiters focus on culture fit conversations and hiring decisions while your AI team handles the pipeline.

## Overview

Recruiting is a race. The best candidates have multiple offers within days, and every hour of delay in your process pushes them toward a competitor. But your recruiting team is buried in the administrative work that creates those delays: screening resumes, coordinating schedules, updating your ATS, and chasing approvals.

AI recruiting employees take over the entire administrative pipeline. They screen incoming applications against your qualification criteria, send personalized outreach to passive candidates, coordinate multi-round interview schedules across time zones, and generate complete onboarding packages when offers are accepted. Every action is logged in your ATS automatically.

Your human recruiters get back the time they need for what actually wins candidates: building relationships, assessing culture fit, selling your company story, and making hiring decisions. The AI handles the volume. Your team handles the judgment.

## Before / After

- **Before:** Your recruiter manually reviews 200 resumes per open role, spending 30+ hours per week on initial screening. Half the candidates are clearly unqualified, but every resume still gets read.
  **After:** Your AI employee screens 1,000+ resumes per week against your exact criteria. Qualified candidates surface in minutes, not days. Your recruiter reviews a shortlist, not a pile.
- **Before:** Top candidates accept other offers because your scheduling takes 5-7 days. Back-and-forth emails between hiring managers, recruiters, and candidates drag out every interview loop.
  **After:** Your AI employee coordinates schedules instantly. It checks interviewer availability, proposes times to the candidate, confirms the booking, and sends calendar invitations with video links. No email ping-pong.
- **Before:** New hire onboarding takes 2-3 weeks of manual paperwork, system setup requests, and chasing signatures. IT, HR, and the hiring manager each handle their own checklist with no coordination.
  **After:** Your AI employee generates the complete onboarding package: offer letters, equipment requests, system access forms, and first-week schedules. One trigger starts the entire workflow.
- **Before:** Your recruiters spend 60% of their time on admin: posting jobs, updating the ATS, sending status emails to candidates, and compiling hiring reports. Actual candidate conversations get squeezed into the gaps.
  **After:** AI employees handle job postings, ATS updates, candidate status emails, and report generation. Your recruiters spend their full day on interviews, candidate relationships, and hiring strategy.

## How It Works

1. **Define Your Hiring Criteria** — Set the qualifications, experience levels, and skills your AI employee uses to screen candidates. Define your interview process, approval chain, and onboarding checklist. These become the rules your AI employee follows for every role.
2. **Connect Your ATS and Tools** — Link your ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, BambooHR), calendar, email, and communication tools. Your AI employee works inside your existing systems. All candidate data stays in your ATS, not a separate platform.
3. **Let AI Handle the Pipeline** — Your AI employee screens applications as they arrive, reaches out to passive candidates, schedules interviews, and generates onboarding packages. Your recruiters review shortlists, conduct interviews, and make hiring decisions.

## FAQ

### What types of roles can AI screen resumes for?

Yes. You define the screening criteria per role: required skills, years of experience, education, certifications, and any custom qualifications. The AI employee applies those criteria consistently to every applicant. It works for engineering, sales, marketing, design, operations, executive, and any other role type.

### How does the AI handle candidate communication?

Your AI employee sends personalized messages at every stage: application received confirmations, interview invitations, schedule changes, status updates, and follow-ups. Each message uses your company tone and branding. Candidates interact with what feels like a responsive, attentive recruiting team.

### Which ATS platforms does AI recruiting integrate with?

### Is AI resume screening biased?

The AI employee screens based on the objective criteria you define: skills, experience, qualifications. It does not consider name, gender, age, ethnicity, or other protected characteristics. You control the criteria, review the shortlists, and make all hiring decisions. The AI handles the volume filtering, your team handles the judgment.

### How does AI schedule interviews with multiple interviewers?

Yes. Your AI employee checks availability across all interviewers, finds overlapping time slots, proposes options to the candidate, and books the entire panel in one pass. It handles time zone differences, room bookings (if applicable), and sends calendar invitations with video call links to everyone involved.

### How does AI automate employee onboarding?

When an offer is accepted, your AI employee triggers the onboarding workflow: generates paperwork from templates, submits equipment and system access requests, creates first-week schedules, and assigns onboarding tasks to the relevant teams. It tracks completion and follows up when steps are overdue.
