# The AI recruiter

> Every interested candidate answers the role's yes-or-no questions on the spot; Tenure's AI recruiter can then talk with them by phone, text or chat, and hands you the answers with highlights at the top.

The AI recruiter asks a candidate the questions you would ask on a first call, before anyone on your team picks up the phone. The moment someone replies interested, the questions are put to them on the reply page as a quick yes or no each. For more than yes or no, invite them to talk: a phone call now or at a time they book, a text conversation, or a chat in their browser. Either way the answers are on the candidate's record, with the facts that matter at the top.

## What it asks

It asks the **questions** on the role. Each one is a fact in a few words, such as "Active Montana RN license" or "Two years in an ICU setting", the yes-or-no question that gets at it, and whether it is a requirement. You write them once on the [role](/documentation/search/roles); the reply page asks them the moment someone replies interested, and every conversation about that role asks them again in its own words.

On the role form, **Suggest from the role** drafts a list from what the role already says: a licence for its state, experience in its specialty, where the work is done, the schedule, a start date, pay expectations. Edit the list to fit, and add your own. Up to 25 per role.

## The quick questions

When a candidate replies interested to a message sent with a role that has questions, the reply page puts the questions to them straight away, one at a time, with a Yes and a No button and Back to change an answer before sending. It takes under a minute on a phone. Their answers are written up on their record the moment they send, credited to whoever sent the message, and you are told the same way as for the reply itself.

## Inviting a candidate to talk

On a candidate's record, open the **AI recruiter** tab, pick the role, and choose **Send the invitation**. One invitation uses a reach-out credit, like a message.

The candidate gets an email naming your company and the role, how long the conversation takes, and one button to choose how to talk. The link is good for two weeks. Until they choose, the tab shows the invitation as waiting, and you can call it off.

## What the candidate sees

A page with your company's name, the role, how many questions there are and about how long they take, and three ways to answer:

- **Phone call.** They enter the number to call and either take the call right away or pick a day and time, in their own time zone, up to two weeks out. The recruiter calls them at that minute.
- **Text message.** A conversation by text, at their pace, when text is turned on for your account.
- **Chat.** They type their answers on the page, there and then.

They can also say they are not interested, which closes the invitation and sends nothing more.

## What you get back

A few minutes after the conversation ends, the **AI recruiter** tab on the candidate's record shows the write-up, and you are told the same way as for an interested reply: an email with a link, and the bell.

- **Highlights** come first: each fact that was met, in its own words ("Active Montana RN license"), then any requirement that was not ("Not met: Available within 30 days"), then anything else worth knowing.
- **A short summary** of the conversation.
- **Every question** with whether it was met, not met or left unclear, and what the candidate said: a yes or a no from the reply page, their own words from a conversation.
- **The recording**, playable on the page, for a phone call.
- **The transcript**, turn by turn, for every channel.

A call that was not answered, or reached voicemail, is shown as such, and you can invite again.

## Calling it off

While an invitation is waiting or a call is booked, **Call it off** on the tab stops the link working and keeps the call from being placed. A conversation that has started runs its course.
