Trigger: A candidate applies or completes a screening step.
Setup steps
- Map the trigger and required source fields.
- Define what the agent may draft, classify, or route.
- Connect the system of record and keep the owner visible.
- Add a human approval step for customer-facing or high-risk output.
- Log decisions and review failures daily during rollout.
Guardrails
- The agent must cite source context or mark missing information.
- The agent must not send external messages without the named owner approving them.
- The agent must escalate sensitive, legal, financial, hiring, or angry-customer cases.
Handoff rules
- Human owner: Recruiter.
- Create a task when confidence is low or required fields are missing.
- Keep a rollback path so the team can run the workflow manually.
Failure modes
- The trigger fires on the wrong record.
- The agent drafts confident copy from incomplete data.
- The owner misses the review queue and the workflow stalls.
Privacy notes
- Send only the fields needed for the workflow.
- Avoid sensitive data unless the tool has been approved for that use.
- Keep audit notes for decisions that affect customers, candidates, or payments.
