Frequently asked questions
What is recruiting automation?
Recruiting automation hands the repetitive parts of hiring to software: screening applications against set criteria, sending and answering routine candidate messages, booking interviews, and updating records.
The judgment stays with recruiters. What goes away is the coordination work that fills their day.
Which parts of recruiting should not be automated?
Keep decisions that require context, judgment and accountability with people. Recruiters should review unusual applications, discuss accommodations, assess candidates and make hiring decisions. Automation can prepare information and coordinate the next step, with a clear route to a person when someone needs help.
How is AI used in recruiting?
AI can help recruiters find relevant candidates, organize application information and prepare messages. Use agreed, job-related criteria, check the output and keep recruiters responsible for decisions. Ask vendors what data a feature uses and how your team can review or override its recommendations.
How do you measure whether recruiting automation worked?
Start with a baseline for the same roles and locations. Compare time between hiring stages, completed applications, interview attendance and recruiter coordination time. Read candidate feedback alongside the numbers so that a faster process also remains clear and accessible.

The Recruitment Tech Buyer's Playbook
The questions to ask any recruiting software vendor, including us, before a contract: what stays in the ATS, who owns the integration, what the number looks like a quarter in, and what it costs to leave.
If you have been through one bad software purchase and would rather not repeat it, this is the checklist we wish we had had.
