AI Recruitment agent · Hiring

Forty applications arrive and nobody has a free afternoon. The agent reads all of them against the criteria you set, tells you who fits and why, and gets the right to work question answered before anyone is invited in.
Supports your hiring managers. Included in every plan.

What is an AI recruitment agent?
An AI recruitment agent is software that handles the applications an employer receives: it drafts the advert, screens applicants against the role’s criteria, captures right to work status, books interviews and drafts the offer. It supports the hiring manager, who makes every decision about who is interviewed and hired. It is not a recruitment agency.
The job description
What the recruitment agent does.
Drafts the advert
Writes the job advert from the role, the pay and the shift pattern, in your tone, for you to edit.
Screens against your criteria
Ranks applicants against the requirements you set for the role, and says in a sentence why each one is where they are.
Right to work first
Captures right to work status before the interview, so nobody is offered a job they cannot take.
Interviews
Offers slots, confirms them and sends the interviewer a one page summary of each candidate.
Offer and contract
Drafts the offer at the salary and start date you give it, then the contract from your template.
Hands over to onboarding
An accepted offer becomes an employee record, an onboarding plan and a first payroll entry.
Support, not replacement
It works for your hiring managers. They keep the decision.
You approve
- The shortlist, before anyone is invited or turned down
- Every offer and its terms
- Messages to candidates
It will not
- Reject or hire anyone on its own
- Score on anything other than the criteria you set for the role
- Keep an unsuccessful applicant’s data past your retention period

Watches right to work dates, sponsored workers and reporting windows, and drafts what UKVI needs.
HR agent
People operations
Keeps every employee record, contract, probation and policy up to date, and chases what is missing.

What is an AI recruitment agent?+
An AI recruitment agent is software that handles the applications an employer receives: it drafts the advert, screens applicants against the role’s criteria, captures right to work status, books interviews and drafts the offer. It supports the hiring manager, who makes every decision about who is interviewed and hired. It is not a recruitment agency.
Does the recruitment agent decide who gets the job?+
No. It ranks and explains. A person decides who is interviewed, who is offered and who is turned down, and can see why the agent placed each candidate where it did.
How do we know it is not screening unfairly?+
It scores only against the criteria you write for the role and shows its reasoning for every candidate, so a decision can be checked and challenged. You can review anyone it ranked low.
Is this a recruitment agency?+
No. It does not supply candidates. It handles the applications you receive, from advert to accepted offer.
