The problem it solves

Your recruiting team wastes time switching between Slack and your applicant tracking system just to move a candidate forward or leave a note. Small updates like tagging a resume or checking on an open role turn into extra clicks and lost focus.

Who it fits

Best for recruiting teams and HR managers who screen and track candidates through an applicant tracking system.

How it works

  1. A team member sends a request in Slack, like asking to find candidates for a role
  2. An AI agent reads the request and figures out what needs to happen
  3. It looks up, updates, or tags candidates and job openings in the recruiting system
  4. It posts a comment or update back where needed
  5. The team gets the answer or confirmation right in Slack
What you get

Candidate updates handled correctly without double-checking

Your recruiters can update candidates, tags, and job openings straight from Slack, so records stay current without switching into the recruiting system.

What you get

A recruiting system that stays updated and a Slack reply confirming the change.

What you need

A Slack workspace, an OpenAI account, and a Recrutei ATS account with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
