Use Cases

Recruiting automation that accelerates hiring

Real scenarios where AI manages candidate pipelines, coordinates interviews, and updates hiring teams through Ashby integration.

Career Page Lead Capture

Interview Panel Coordination

Recruiting coordinator needs to assign technical interviewers to upcoming candidate sessions. Your AI Agent retrieves the application details, calls Ashby's Add Hiring Team Member endpoint with the appropriate interviewer IDs and roles, and confirms assignments. Interview panels get assembled through conversation instead of navigating multiple Ashby screens.

Pipeline Status for Hiring Managers

Hiring manager asks about candidates currently in the technical interview stage. Your AI Agent calls Ashby's application listing endpoints with stage filters, retrieves all candidates at that pipeline step with their interview feedback status, and summarizes the pipeline. Hiring updates that required dashboard drilling happen through a quick conversational query.
