Example

Example workflow

A realistic run-through of a single candidate cycle.

Scenario: A tech startup receives 120 applications in a week. The AI agent parses resumes and scores, delivering a Strong Yes (85-100) for 12 candidates who receive instant Slack alerts and interview invites on the same day. Another 60 require manager review, with approvals auto-generated if score ≥ 70, and 48 receive polite rejection emails. All data and decisions are captured in Google Sheets for insights.
