Global AI interview automation

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Eightfold team

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Admins create an automation in Automation Center that sends AI interview invites whenever candidates match, across many positions at once. Recruiters can also automate a single position and manage any automation on their position from a live status banner that shows progress and lets them pause, resume, or stop.

This is achieved with the introduction of the Schedule AI Interview Action in Workflow Automation.

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Set it up once: an admin automation invites matching candidates across many positions, including positions created later.

  • No manual scheduling: candidates are invited automatically when they match, so recruiters do not schedule each interview by hand.

  • Stay in control: a live status banner shows progress and lets a recruiter pause, resume, or stop automation on their position.

FEATURE DETAILS

Who can access

Customer Admins, Recruiters, Hiring Managers, Candidates

Feature type

Default On

Requirements

AI Interviewer with interview guides and AI interview automation enabled for your tenant.

GETTING STARTED

Admins: In Automation Center, create a workflow with the Schedule with Guides action, choose the interview guide and reviewer, set the guardrails for how and when invites are sent, and choose whether it is required, active by default, or stays off as a template recruiters can adopt. Enable recruiter automation if you want recruiters to automate their own positions.

End users: Recruiters automate a position from the Interview with AI panel by selecting Automate on a guide and selecting Launch, or by adopting an admin template from the Set up guide banner. A live status banner on the position shows invites, pending, complete, and assistance counts, with Pause automation, Resume automation, and Stop automation.
