Automating Candidate Routing with AI

Automate your entire candidate routing workflow across intake, scoring, SLA-based assignment, and recruiter queue management.
001
Capacity-Aware Assignment That Prevents Bottlenecks

The agent monitors recruiter workloads in real time—tracking open reqs, active candidates, and interview loads—to distribute candidates using fair-share logic and queue caps that keep every team member productive without breaching SLA timers.

002
Skills and Fit Matching That Gets Candidates to the Right Owner

AI-powered scoring matches candidate profiles against job requirements, skills ontologies, and hiring pod expertise, routing applicants to recruiters with the domain knowledge and geographic or language alignment to move them forward fast.

003
SLA Governance That Protects Time-to-Interview Commitments

Automated priority indexing combines match scores, requisition urgency, and SLA decay to continuously reorder queues—escalating or reassigning candidates before breach thresholds hit, so program-level service commitments stay intact.

How Cassidy automates using AI

Step 1: Trigger on new candidate intake

The Workflow activates when a candidate enters the pipeline—whether from ATS applications, CRM sourced leads, referral portals, event submissions, or agency uploads—normalizing profile data and linking to historical interactions.

Step 2: Parse, enrich, and deduplicate profiles

Cassidy extracts skills, certifications, work authorization, and location data from resumes, enriches profiles with missing details, and deduplicates against existing records to create a unified candidate view.

Step 3: Run eligibility and compliance checks

The agent validates knockout criteria—minimum qualifications, shift availability, location radius, rehire eligibility—and logs EEO/OFCCP compliance data before candidates proceed.

Step 4: Score and segment candidates

Cassidy calculates a match score using skills ontology alignment, seniority calibration, and intent signals, then segments candidates into priority bands with corresponding SLA paths.

Step 5: Route using capacity, skills, and SLA logic

The Workflow applies configurable rules—skills-based routing to domain-expert recruiters, capacity-based load balancing with queue caps, and SLA-based prioritization—to assign each candidate to the right owner.

Step 6: Trigger communications and stage automation

Cassidy sends branded outreach sequences, interview self-scheduling links, and reminders aligned with SLA clocks, while auto-advancing candidates through stages or flagging exceptions for Human-in-the-Loop review.

Step 7: Monitor SLAs and rebalance queues

Live dashboards track time-to-first-touch, time-to-interview, and queue depth by recruiter. When timers approach breach thresholds, Cassidy auto-escalates or reassigns candidates to backup pools to protect program commitments.
