Creating an AI agent for recruitment and selection means building a custom agent trained on your hiring documentation and process — screening criteria, role requirements, standard questions — so it can pre-screen or answer candidate questions consistently. In **Jestor**, this uses the same **Agent Builder** used for any other department's agent.

Recruitment teams answer the same candidate questions and apply the same screening logic dozens of times per role. A dedicated agent for that specific process removes the repetition without removing the team's judgment on final decisions.

## What makes recruitment repetitive

- The same candidate questions answered individually, over and over
- Screening criteria applied inconsistently between different recruiters
- Resume and application data retyped manually into a tracker
- No single source of truth for where each candidate stands

## How to build a recruitment-specific AI agent

- Create a new agent in **Agent Builder**, scoped to your recruiting table
- Feed it your job descriptions, screening criteria, and standard candidate FAQs as its knowledge base
- Define which fields it can update — status, screening notes, tags — and which stay manual
- Combine it with **OCR** so resumes and applications are read into structured fields automatically

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- The agent is trained specifically on recruiting content, not a generic company-wide bot
- Field-level permissions keep the agent from making final hiring decisions on its own
- Works alongside the same relational candidate data used across the hiring pipeline
- Recruiters keep full visibility into what the agent has already answered

| Answering repetitive candidate questions | Agent responds from documented FAQs |
| Reading resumes into the tracker         | OCR extracts structured data        |
