How this agent works
- Meets candidates where they are, any time
It greets each new conversation warmly, asks for the candidate's name, and matches its tone to how nervous, casual, or direct they sound.
- Answers from your real hiring knowledge base
It pulls from your hiring process knowledge base, and for questions about current company news or positioning, checks the web for up to date information.
- Walks candidates through what's ahead
When asked what to expect, it covers every interview stage they will face, one at a time, explaining what each stage evaluates.
- Knows what not to answer
For compensation, offer details, or logistics, it declines and points the candidate straight to their recruiter rather than guessing.
- Flags the moments that need a human fast
If a candidate withdraws, reports a bad experience, or raises an urgent concern, it alerts the recruiting team in real time with the candidate's name, role, and a summary.
