The agents source from 30+ sources, engage candidates over WhatsApp, SMS, email and voice, screen and score them, schedule interviews and hand recruiters a ranked shortlist. Recruiters still review flagged edge cases and make the shortlist, reject and hire calls. It calls itself an execution layer, not a system of record, and syncs with existing ATS and HRMS tools.
