The operating problem

Where the process breaks.

Recruiters repeatedly read, compare, and schedule before a hiring manager can engage. Automated screening can hide weak criteria, so job-related qualification evidence and the recruiter’s decision must remain visible.

Governed execution

How the work runs.

Order remains explicit from trigger to decision. Every step runs inside the tools, data scope, and policy assigned to this workflow.

  1. 01Trigger

    Application enters the role

    The applicant record and approved role criteria start the workflow.

  2. 02Agent

    Evidence is normalized

    The agent extracts job-relevant evidence against configured qualification criteria.

  3. 03Agent

    Candidate briefs are prepared

    Each brief presents supporting evidence, missing information, and the criteria evaluated without ranking candidates autonomously.

  4. 04Human

    Recruiter decides progression

    The recruiter reviews the evidence and makes every shortlist and progression decision as the terminal workflow step.

Decision boundary

Human approval is the boundary.

The approval node is terminal today. A post-approval send or write happens only through a separate manual or newly triggered continuation.

Required decision

A recruiter makes every shortlist and progression decision; stage changes and scheduling require a separate manual or newly triggered continuation.

Approval recorded

Actor, decision, edits, and timestamp join the receipt.

Separate continuation

External write

Nothing resumes silently after the human decision.

Proof of execution

Execution receipt.

The output is not just a result. It carries the trigger, evidence, proposed actions, decision, and final workflow state.

Policy before autonomy

Guardrails for this run.

  • The workflow is configured to exclude protected-characteristic fields from evaluation.

  • Configured role criteria are versioned and visible to reviewers.

  • The workflow prepares briefs rather than autonomously ranking candidates.

  • No applicant can progress in the approval run.

  • Candidate data access is limited by organization role and workflow scope.
