Why recruiting is the first direction
for AI agents
💼 Recruiting = one of the most repetitive and labor-
intensive HR processes
⏱ Time = critical: the speed of hiring directly affects the
business
📈 Scalability: the agent can process 100+ resumes per
day
🧠 Simple logic: there are input data (resumes), there
are task templates (screening, letters, offers)
📌 Conclusion: The Perfect Start for Automation and
Implementation of AI Agents
Examples of agents in recruiting
📌 These agents work autonomously, are often integrated with
ATS, and can be tested.

Limitations and risks
📌 An agent is a tool, not an expert. HR is responsible for the
final decision.
🧨 Risk ❗ Examples and consequences
Underestimation of candidates by age,
🤖 Model bias
gender, experience
An agent may not understand a non-
🧩 Data errors
standard resume
🧠 Misunderstanding the context Simplified logic ≠ deep HR expertise
Risks in the processing of personal data
🔒 Privacy

ATS integration
⚙ How they integrate: via API, Zapier, built-in plugins
📦 System: Lever, Greenhouse, Teamtailor, SmartRecruiters
🧠 What can be transferred:
• New Applications
• Screening results
• Candidates' answers
• Interview Events
🧩 Purpose: reduce manual work and focus on exceptions rather
than routine
🟢 Level 1: Basic (5 minutes, free) –
ChatGPT GPTs
Create a simple agent in GPTs to screen candidates:
🔹 Set the rules (for example: "Select marketers with at least 3
years of experience and knowledge of Google Ads")
🔹 Copy and paste resume text for analysis
🔹 Get a brief opinion and rating
📌 Suitable for testing hypotheses without integrations and
costs.
🟡 Level 2: Intermediate (30 minutes, no-
code) – [Link] or Zapier + ATS/Tables
Automate steps:
📥 When a new candidate appears, the agent saves the data
to the table
🧠 A template filter by keywords is applied
📬 An automated email is sent (e.g., "Thank you, we've received
your request")
📌 Suitable for repetitive tasks in bulk picking.
Bardeen AI: GTM Copilot for Workflow
Automation
🔴 Level 3: Advanced – Implementation of an off-
the-shelf AI agent (e.g., Paradox Olivia)
Integration with the career page
The candidate communicates with the agent directly on the
website, receives questions, and schedules an interview
The agent transmits the information to the ATS, notifies the
recruiter
📌 Used by major brands. Gives the greatest effect, but requires
budget and adjustment.
Homework
📌 Task: Test one of the agents:
• HireBorderless — Offer + registration
• Metaview AI — Interview analysis (you can upload your
MP3/WAV)
• GPTs or Bardeen — Simple candidate verification using a
template
💬 What you need to do:
• Ask the agent a resume (you can fake or your own)
• See how he analyzes, sorts, answers
• Make a screenshot/video report (optional)
• Share results and conclusions
