CV Screening to Interview Scheduling — Zero Manual Touchpoints

A staffing agency receives 300+ CVs per week across 15 open roles. Recruiters spend 60% of their time on initial screening — reading CVs, sending rejection emails, and coordinating interview schedules. This AI system handles the entire pipeline from application to interview booking.

This workflow is for demonstration purposes only. We custom-build automation architectures tailored to each client's specific requirements, tools, and processes.

What Happens at Each Stage

1

Multi-Channel CV Collection

Automated

Agent monitors LinkedIn applications, JobStreet, email inbox, and website career page. CVs in any format (PDF, DOCX, plain text) are parsed and structured.

2

AI-Powered Parsing

AI Agent

Agent extracts: skills, experience years, education, certifications, location, salary expectations, and notice period. Handles messy formatting, varied layouts, and multi-language CVs.

3

Scoring & Ranking

AI Agent

Each candidate is scored against the specific job requirements using weighted criteria. Skills match (40%), experience relevance (25%), education (15%), availability (10%), location (10%). Top candidates are prioritised.

4

Criteria Check

Decision Gate

Diamond decision: does the candidate meet minimum requirements? If yes, proceed to matching. If no, send a personalised rejection (not a generic template — the agent references specific gaps).

5

Role Matching

AI Agent

For qualified candidates, the agent checks across all 15 open roles — a candidate who doesn’t fit Role A might be perfect for Role B. Cross-matching maximises placement potential.

6

Interview Scheduling

Action

Agent checks the hiring manager’s calendar availability, proposes 3 time slots to the candidate via email, and auto-confirms once the candidate selects. Calendar events created for both parties.

7

Prep Pack Delivery

Action

24 hours before the interview, the agent sends the candidate a prep pack: company overview, role details, interview format, and directions. The hiring manager receives a candidate brief: CV summary, key strengths, suggested interview questions.

8

Talent Pool Management

Nurture Loop

Rejected candidates are tagged and stored in a talent pool. When a new role opens that matches their profile, the agent automatically re-engages them. No good candidate is lost.
