Direct answer
Agents excel at scheduling, JD drafting, candidate comms templates, and structured screening prep. Final hire/no-hire decisions, adverse impact review, and offer approval stay human.
Key points
- Automate: calendar loops, reminder sequences, scorecard assembly
- Assist: resume summarization against rubric (not autonomous reject)
- Avoid: fully automated rejection without audit trail
