The platform

Six jobs. One agent each.

Each agent finishes its job, hands over, and leaves a record of what it did.

01 · Who is eligible

SmartFilters

Reads the job description and turns it into the rules everything downstream obeys.

  • Structured filters built from the posting — title, geography, seniority, experience ladder
  • Ban-the-Box, I-9 and FCRA sequencing enforced in the workflow, not advised in a PDF
  • Eligibility rules set per state, brand and site
  • Protected attributes excluded before scoring, not filtered afterwards

  • 180M+ profiles searched per run, plus your careers page, database and past applicants
  • Channels ranked by who got hired and stayed — not by clicks
  • Scheduled daily runs keep the pipeline full without a re-search

SmartMatch

Every candidate scored 0–100 against the job, with the reasoning attached to the number.

  • Rationale, strengths and evidenced gaps on every score
  • Fairness-constrained — scoring never weighs protected attributes
  • A 90-day retention signal on every shortlisted name
  • Ranked against the job, not against résumé keywords

SmartShortlist

The top slice promotes itself. You set the bar once and the triage stops being a job.

  • Top 40% by default, tunable per company, brand or role
  • Balanced against openings per site so one location can't absorb the list
  • Everyone else routed to your other open roles instead of a rejection
  • One recruiter checkpoint before anything leaves the building

SmartOutreach

One email, one link, one job to do — released only after a person names the interviewer.

  • Drafts in your voice and sends from your ATS identity
  • Auto-nudges the quiet ones at 24 hours, then steps back
  • Outreach can be toggled off per company and stay fully in your hands
  • Every message logged against the role

FAQ

Your questions, answered.

What is SmartAutomation?
Six AI agents that do the work around an open role — filter, source, match, shortlist, reach out, schedule — while a recruiter approves each advance.
Does it replace my ATS?
No. It reads from and writes back to your existing system of record — Workday, UKG, SAP SuccessFactors and iCIMS are confirmed today. No migration.
Do the agents decide who gets hired?
No. No agent hires, rejects or extends an offer. Every consequential step routes to a named approver with the reasoning attached, and the decision is logged against the score it was shown alongside.
How is this different from hireEZ or Arya?
The data and the ranking. Our agents learned from 850 million real applications across 25 years, and SmartSource ranks your channels by who got hired and stayed rather than by clicks. Every shortlisted name carries a 90-day retention signal.
What does it cost?
Pick by problem, pay per module — agents turn on per brand, region or team rather than per recruiter seat. What you pay depends on role volume and which agents you run, so we quote it against your actual hiring plan.
