Screen new JobAdder applicants with AI

1. JobAdder puts an applicant dashboard in the Home tab, where a recruiter can review the applicant stages, change statuses, add notes and message candidates.
2. Each application opens in a quick view popup that shows the candidate's previous applications, so a returning applicant is easy to spot.
3. The recruiter gives the application a rating out of 5 and selects the applicant's status; JobAdder can trigger actions with a status update and supports custom rejection statuses.
4. In the mobile app a swipe left on the applicant's card rejects, and a swipe right progresses.
5. Every applicant is read one by one, so a role that draws many applications takes a full sitting to clear.

List the new applications on the Senior Accountant job in JobAdder. Rate each out of 5 against my brief, reject the clear mismatches and leave the rest for me with a one-line reason.

1. 01

   Pull the applications

   list_job_applications returns the applications of one job with the candidate name, current status and rating. The agent follows next_cursor until the list ends, so a large intake is judged as one batch.

2. 02

   Read the ones that are not obvious

   get_candidate brings the profile, skills and employment history of each applicant who needs a closer look. Applicants who clearly miss a must-have in your brief are decided from the list alone.

3. 03

   Apply your brief

   The agent compares each applicant with the must-haves and nice-to-haves from your prompt, for example "CPA licence" or "five years in a mid-size firm". It quotes the line it relied on, so you see why each person scored as they did.

4. 04

   Rate every applicant

   rate_application sets the rating out of 5 on each application. A rating reaches nobody and is changed with one more call, so it does not wait for your OK.

5. 05

   Reject only the clear mismatches

   update_application_status moves clear mismatches to the rejection status you named. It waits for your OK, because in JobAdder a status update can trigger an action such as an automatic reply, depending on your setup. A status the job's workflow does not have makes the call fail, and the agent lists that applicant for you instead.

6. 06

   Leave the middle to you

   Applicants in the grey zone keep their status and come back in one list, each with the rating and a one-line reason.
