AI workforce for HR & People

AI agents for HR teams

Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your team uses. From screening CVs and chasing interview slots, to ranked shortlists, onboarding packets sent before day one, and self-compiling reports.

HR coordinators lose hours every week to triage, scheduling back-and-forth, and manual checklists that should have been automated years ago.

Where you spend your time

Why HR & People teams switch

We know how your week actually goes

What matters to you
  • CVs shortlisted, not just collected
    An agent reads every application, scores each CV against the role criteria, and posts the ranked shortlist to Slack.
  • Interview slots booked, not negotiated
    An agent finds the available interview slot, sends invites to all parties, and books the Zoom link automatically.
  • New-hire packet sent on day one
    When a start date is confirmed, an agent sends the welcome packet, queues account setup, and books first-week meetings.
  • Exit checklist completed, nothing missed
    An agent fires the offboarding checklist, revokes system access, and tracks equipment return so nothing slips.
  • Policy handbook answers in seconds
    An agent watches the HR channel for policy questions, checks the handbook, and drafts a reply for the team to approve.
  • Headcount reports without the manual pull
    An agent compiles leave summaries, anniversary alerts, and monthly people metrics without anyone building it by hand.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your HR & People team's day.

The problem

Where the hours go

  • CVs pile up in email while the hiring manager waits for a shortlist, and screening takes the afternoon every time a role opens.

    An agent reads every application, scores CVs against the job criteria, and posts a ranked shortlist to Slack so the hiring manager gets the candidates, not the queue.

  • Coordinating interview slots between candidates, interviewers, and rooms burns hours of back-and-forth email.

    An agent finds the available slots, sends the invite to all parties, and books the Zoom link, with a confirmation to the candidate within about a minute of a slot being agreed.

  • Getting a new hire set up means sending the same emails, forms, and Slack messages every time, none of it logged.

    When a start date is confirmed, an agent sends the welcome packet, queues the account-setup checklist, and handles first-week scheduling, leaving HR to add the human touches.

  • HR spends hours each week answering the same leave and policy questions because the handbook is hard to search.

    An agent watches the HR Slack channel for policy questions, checks the handbook, and drafts a reply for the team to approve, so routine questions stop pulling HR away from complex cases.

Triggers

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

The agent automatically

When a new application lands in the inbox or ATS, the agent reads the CV, scores the candidate against the role criteria, and posts a structured summary to the HR Slack channel within about a minute, so the hiring manager sees the candidates, not the queue.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An agent working in your systems with employee data only earns trust if you stay in control. Actionist is built so you decide what goes out, see everything it did, and own all of it.

You approve what sends to employees

By default the agent drafts rejection emails, welcome packets, policy replies, and offboarding notices and waits for your sign-off before anything reaches a current or future employee.

Destructive actions always ask first

Revoking system access, closing accounts, or sending a departure notice stops for explicit approval, regardless of how much autonomy you have granted elsewhere.

A full audit trail

Every record the agent read and every action it took is logged, so you can see exactly what happened, when, and why at any point.

Your employee data stays yours

It is encrypted, never used to train AI models, and if you need everything on your own infrastructure you can self-host on a VPS.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does an agent screen CVs without an API for our ATS?
It uses computer use on the desktop: the agent opens the ATS or email inbox the way you would, reads each CV directly from the screen, and scores the candidate against the criteria you have defined. That means it can work with any ATS or inbox without needing an integration.
Will it send an offer letter or reject a candidate on its own?
Not by default. The agent drafts the rejection email or offer communication and waits for your approval before anything goes to a candidate. You can widen its autonomy over time on the specific tasks where it has consistently gotten it right, but anything that goes to a candidate starts as a draft for you to review.
What if we use an HR tool or ATS that is not in the standard catalogue?
Because the agent uses computer use to operate apps directly on the screen, it can work with any tool you can open on the desktop, even one with no integration or API. It operates it the way you would, which means your existing stack does not need to change.
Where does our employee data live, and is it used to train AI?
Your employee data stays yours. It is encrypted, never used to train AI models, and every action the agent takes is logged so you can audit what it read and did. If you need everything on your own infrastructure, you can self-host on a VPS.
How quickly does the agent pick up a new job application or a policy question?
Triggered tasks poll on a short interval, so a new application in the inbox or a policy question in Slack is usually picked up within about a minute. Scheduled tasks like the daily CV triage or weekly headcount report run on the cadence you set.
Where do the agent's alerts and reports show up?
Actionist delivers to Telegram and Slack, the two supported channels. CV shortlists, onboarding alerts, probation reminders, and policy reply drafts land in the HR Slack channel or Telegram group you designate, and you can reply there to direct the agent.
Is it technical to get started with an HR agent?
No. You connect your HR apps, describe what you want the agent to handle in plain language, and set the schedule. Most HR teams are running their first agent within a day of setup. The demo walks you through a CV screening and onboarding run end to end.
How do we customise it for our specific HR policies and process?
You tell the agent your policies in plain language and point it at your handbook or Notion pages. It keeps a memory of your processes and uses them when answering policy questions or running checklists. You refine it by editing its drafts, the same way you would coach a new HR coordinator, until the output consistently matches your standards.
