AI recruiting agents
A recruiting agent that knows how you hire
An agent that screens, schedules and syncs with your ATS. It learns your hiring rules from your data, and a recruiter approves every send.
No project scoping. From $3K a month. Cancel anytime.
Built by AY Automate. 60+ clients, including Backbase and Sage.
What the agent does for your team
It does the hiring admin
It screens applications against your criteria, books interviews, drafts candidate messages and writes notes back to your ATS. Your recruiters keep the judgment calls.
It knows your company
The agent reads a company brain built from your job scorecards, past hires, interview rubrics and policies. It screens the way your best recruiter does, not the way a generic model guesses.
A recruiter approves, every action is logged
Nothing reaches a candidate until a recruiter approves it. Every screen, score and message goes into an audit trail you can export.
How it runs, from first call to first approved draft
Connect your ATS and the documents that define a good hire
Tell us which ATS you run on. Then hand over scorecards, rubrics and policies. We check the connection with you on the call.
We build the company brain and set the agent up in hours
We turn those documents into the knowledge the agent screens against. There is no scoping phase and no discovery project before work starts.
Recruiters approve what it drafts, and the log shows every step
Your team reviews each draft before it goes out. Each screen, score and message lands in the log, so you can see why the agent did what it did.
Tell us your ATS and your open roles on the call.
Control, audit trail and the law
Hiring tools face rules in some places. New York City Local Law 144 and the EU AI Act both cover them. The agent is built so a person decides and the record is there to show it. We are not your counsel, so check your own duties with one.
- A recruiter approves every send
- Messages to candidates wait in a queue. A person on your team approves or edits each one.
- Every decision is logged
- Screens, scores, drafts and approvals are recorded with the step that produced them. You can export the trail.
- Hiring rules come from you
- The agent screens against your scorecards and rubrics. You decide the criteria, and you can change them.
- Hosted in the EU
- The agent runs on EU hosting. Tell us your data rules on the call and we check them against the setup.
Hiring work we have shipped

FleetForward, a US AI talent agency. They needed tooling to match candidates to opportunities, with strong security and privacy from the start. We delivered a fully branded, client-facing platform with automatic candidate and opportunity matching, and access control built in.

AyHire, our own product. Backbase and Sage use it. You describe the role in one sentence. It judges people on the public GitHub work they shipped and links the evidence behind every claim. It never emails anyone, you send the intro. See AyHire.
“We needed a very specific role and AY Automate helped us get an AI engineer pretty fast - someone who got quickly into our processes and our team.”
Othmane KhadriFounder, Earleads.com“The team is super fast - sometimes we had to slow them down. We managed to scale the company without investing into hiring.”

Questions
What does an AI recruiting agent do?
It screens applications against your criteria, schedules interviews, drafts candidate messages and logs everything to your ATS. A recruiter approves each outgoing message, so your team spends its time on candidates.
How to choose an AI recruitment platform?
Ask four questions. Does it learn from your hiring data? Does it connect to your ATS? Does a human approve before it sends? Can you export the audit trail? Then ask what it costs to leave.
Does it work with Workday or Greenhouse?
It works with your ATS. Tell us which one you run on the consultation call and we check the connection with you.
Are automated employment decision tools legal?
It depends where you hire. New York City Local Law 144 and the EU AI Act both cover hiring tools. Our agent keeps a recruiter approving and logs every decision. This is not legal advice, so check your duties with counsel.
How fast can it go live?
Set up takes hours. We connect your ATS and documents, build the company brain, and your recruiters start approving drafts. There is no project scoping.
What does it cost, and can I leave?
From $3K a month, cancel anytime. If it is not working in the first 90 days, we replace it.
