Why It Matters

Recruiting teams spend up to 40% of their time on repetitive screening tasks that could be fully automated. Every hour spent manually sorting resumes is an hour not spent building candidate relationships or closing top talent. An AI recruitment screening agent works continuously — parsing, scoring, and scheduling — so your team only engages when it truly counts.

Platform Capabilities

Architect provides every tool your recruitment agent needs — from intelligent parsing to compliant, auditable decisions.

Intelligent Resume Parsing
Automatically extract structured data — skills, experience, education, certifications — from any resume format (PDF, DOCX, plain text). No custom data pipelines needed.
Role-Based Candidate Scoring
Define weighted scoring rubrics per job role. The agent evaluates each applicant against your criteria and assigns a ranked score, surfacing your highest-fit candidates instantly.
Automated Candidate Outreach
Send personalized email and Slack messages to shortlisted candidates, rejection notices to unqualified applicants, and status updates — all on configurable triggers without recruiter input.
Interview Scheduling Automation
The agent checks calendar availability across interviewers, proposes time slots to candidates, confirms bookings, and sends reminders — fully integrated with Google Calendar and Outlook.
Compliance and Audit Logging
Every screening decision is logged with full reasoning, timestamps, and data sources. Role-based access controls and data residency options ensure GDPR and internal HR policy compliance.
Real-Time Pipeline Visibility
Monitor candidate pipeline health, response rates, and time-to-screen metrics on a live dashboard. Recruiters stay informed without touching individual applications.

How It Works

From application received to interview booked — your agent handles every step, end to end.

01
Application Ingested
A new application lands in your ATS and triggers the Architect agent via webhook or scheduled poll.
02
Resume Parsed and Scored
The agent parses the resume, extracts structured data, and scores the candidate against your configured role rubric.
03
Outreach Sent
Shortlisted candidates receive a personalized email. Unqualified applicants receive a respectful, branded decline message automatically.
04
Interview Booked
The agent checks interviewer availability, presents slots, confirms the booking, and sends calendar invites and reminders to all parties.

Before vs. After Architect

Without Architect
  • Recruiters spend 4–8 hours per role manually reading and sorting resumes
  • High cost-per-hire due to labour-intensive screening workflows
  • Qualified candidates slip through when volume spikes beyond team capacity
  • No audit trail — screening decisions lack documented reasoning or consistency
  • Scheduling back-and-forth wastes hours on both recruiter and candidate sides
With Architect
  • Resumes parsed and scored in seconds — 24/7, across all open roles simultaneously
  • 65% lower cost-per-hire by removing manual screening overhead entirely
  • Every qualified candidate is identified and contacted regardless of application volume
  • Full audit trail with decision reasoning — GDPR-ready, compliant out of the box
  • Interviews booked automatically — no email chains, no scheduling friction

Sample Agent System Prompt

This is an example system prompt you configure inside Architect to define your recruitment screening agent's behaviour.

recruitment-screening-agent — system prompt
Agent Active — Architect by Lyzr
You are a recruitment screening agent for {company_name}.
Your role is to evaluate incoming job applications for the {role_title} position.

On each new application:
1. Parse the resume to extract: skills, years of experience, education level, and certifications.
2. Score the candidate 0–100 against the role rubric: {role_rubric_json}.
3. If score >= {shortlist_threshold}: send a personalised outreach email via {email_integration} and check interviewer availability in {calendar_integration} to propose 3 interview slots.
4. If score < {rejection_threshold}: send a respectful decline email using template {decline_template_id}.
5. Log all decisions with full reasoning to {ats_integration} under the candidate record.
6. Notify the hiring manager in {slack_channel} with a summary of candidates processed today at 5 PM.

Always maintain a neutral, professional tone. Do not make hiring decisions — only screening recommendations.
