AI for HR recruitment and onboarding automation means using structured workflows and an **AI agent** to move candidates and new hires through each step — screening, scheduling, document collection, account setup — without HR manually chasing every task by email. In **Jestor**, this runs as a connected process, not a stack of disconnected spreadsheets and forms.

HR teams rarely fail because they lack tools — they fail because recruiting lives in one spreadsheet, onboarding lives in another, and nobody has a single view of where a candidate or new hire actually stands.

## What HR teams are trying to fix

- Candidate information scattered across email, spreadsheets, and messaging apps
- Onboarding checklists that depend on someone remembering every step
- No clear owner when a task between recruiting and IT falls through the cracks
- Manual data entry from resumes or forms into a tracking sheet

## How automated recruiting and onboarding works

- **Forms** capture candidate and new-hire data directly into a structured, relational record
- Each stage of recruiting or onboarding becomes a card in a **Kanban**\-style pipeline, so status is visible at a glance
- Automations trigger the next step — a welcome email, a task for IT, a document request — as soon as a card changes stage
- **SLA** tracking shows where a candidate has been sitting too long without action
- An **AI agent** can read submitted documents and pre-fill fields instead of someone retyping them

## Why Jestor fits this process

- Recruiting and onboarding run as one connected pipeline instead of separate spreadsheets
- **Automation** handles the repetitive handoffs between HR, IT, and managers
- Every candidate or hire has one record, visible to everyone involved, instead of scattered files
- The same structure scales whether you're hiring three people a month or thirty

| Stage                | What automation removes              |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Screening            | Manual sorting of resumes and forms  |
| Interview scheduling | Back-and-forth emails to find a slot |
| Document collection  | Chasing signatures and files by hand |
| Onboarding tasks     | Forgotten steps between departments  |
