Why It Matters

Top candidates are off the market within days. Manual outreach, delayed follow-ups, and generic messaging cost recruiting teams qualified hires before a conversation even starts. An AI Candidate Outreach Agent closes this gap by acting instantly, personally, and continuously — so your pipeline never goes cold.

Platform Capabilities

Architect gives your outreach agent everything it needs to run autonomously — from message generation to pipeline management.

Profile-Aware Personalization

The agent reads candidate profiles — skills, experience, location, role fit — and generates unique, contextually relevant outreach messages that feel hand-crafted, not templated.

Multi-Step Follow-Up Sequences

Configure intelligent follow-up cadences — email, LinkedIn InMail, SMS — with dynamic wait times and response-aware branching so the agent adapts to candidate behavior in real time.

Real-Time ATS Sync

Every outreach touchpoint, reply, and status update flows automatically into your ATS — Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, or Ashby — so your pipeline data is always accurate without manual entry.

Multi-Channel Outreach

Reach candidates where they are. The agent coordinates outreach across email, LinkedIn, Slack, and SMS from a single workflow — ensuring consistent messaging across every touchpoint.

Guardrails and Compliance Controls

Built-in safety layers prevent over-messaging, enforce opt-out logic, and support GDPR data handling — giving your legal and HR teams confidence in every automated campaign.

Outreach Analytics and Reporting

Track open rates, reply rates, sequence conversion, and pipeline velocity in real time. Agent observability surfaces which messages and channels drive the best interview booking rates.

How It Works

From candidate match to booked interview — your Architect agent handles the entire outreach workflow autonomously.

1

Candidate Identified

A new candidate match is detected in your ATS, sourcing tool, or job board integration, triggering the agent.

2

Profile Analysis

The agent retrieves and analyzes the candidate's skills, experience, and role alignment to craft a personalized outreach message.

3

Outreach Sent

A personalized first-touch message is sent via email, LinkedIn, or SMS with the optimal channel selected based on candidate data.

4

Pipeline Updated

Responses, no-replies, and opt-outs are logged automatically in the ATS and recruiter is alerted to interested candidates.

Before vs. After Architect

Without Architect
  • Recruiters manually write individual messages for each candidate — hours of work per day
  • High cost-per-hire driven by recruiter time spent on repetitive outreach tasks
  • Top candidates go cold while follow-ups wait in a recruiter's task backlog
  • No visibility into which outreach messages or channels are actually converting
  • ATS data lags reality — manual logging leads to stale pipeline records and missed follow-ups
With Architect
  • Agent instantly drafts and sends personalized outreach the moment a candidate match is detected
  • 40% lower cost-per-hire as recruiter time shifts to high-value conversations, not admin work
  • Multi-step follow-up sequences run 24/7 — no candidate slips through the cracks
  • Real-time analytics surface which channels and messages drive interview bookings
  • Every touchpoint auto-logged to ATS — pipeline data is always accurate and up-to-date

On each trigger:
1. Retrieve the candidate's full profile from the connected ATS or sourcing tool.
2. Analyze role fit based on skills, experience level, and location preferences.
3. Draft a personalized first-touch message (max 120 words). Reference one specific
   detail from their background that makes them a strong match for the open role.
4. Send via the preferred channel (email first, LinkedIn InMail if no email found).
5. Log the outreach event and timestamp in the ATS candidate record.
6. Schedule follow-up at 3 days and 7 days if no response is received.
7. If candidate replies with interest, notify the assigned recruiter via Slack immediately.
8. Respect opt-outs instantly and mark candidate as Do Not Contact in the ATS.
