# AI agents for recruitment and everyday workflows


Canonical page: https://recruitingtech.uk/solutions/recruitment-ai-agents/


Give a repeatable task a clear trigger, set of actions and handover. AI agents can connect routine work across recruiting, communication and administration.


## What can an AI agent do in a recruitment workflow?

An AI agent can carry out defined actions when a workflow is triggered: for example, sending a follow-up, coordinating an appointment, creating a reminder or updating a connected record. The available actions depend on the chosen agent, data access and system connections.


## Who is this for?

Recruiting and operations teams that can name a specific repeated task and explain what should happen when it succeeds, fails or needs a person.


## What the workflow can include


### Triggers and actions

Connect an event, such as an application or a missed response, to an agreed next step.


### Scheduling and reminders

Coordinate routine messages and appointment-related work within the configured workflow.


### Data and tool connections

Move relevant information between connected tools without treating each transfer as a separate manual job.


## How to approach setup

- Map the task Write down the trigger, required information and expected result.

- Connect the tools Review access, available integrations and which system should receive the update.

- Set the handover Agree when an exception should go to your team instead of continuing automatically.


## Questions to resolve before implementation

- Is the action reversible, and who handles a failed update?

- What data does the agent actually need?

- Who owns the workflow after it goes live?


## Your questions, answered


### Are AI agents only for candidate screening?

No. The scope can also cover communication, reminders, scheduling and administrative processes. Each agent should have a defined role.


### Can an agent use our existing tools?

Connections are considered during scoping. Availability depends on the tools, their interfaces and the selected solution.


### How should we choose the first agent?

Choose a frequent, well-understood task with clear inputs, a clear output and an obvious person to handle exceptions.
