It all started with a simple problem: recruiting in IT requires both high speed and a personalised approach. Every day, HR specialists spend hours on routine tasks, such as creating job openings, searching for candidates, sending emails, and coordinating interviews. At the same time, each of these tasks requires attention to detail and understanding of the context.

We realised that it was difficult for a single AI agent to effectively cover the entire range of recruitment tasks. There were too many context switches and too many different competencies. This led to the idea of creating a specialised team where each agent focuses on their own area of expertise.

Our architecture is based on the principle of “expert in their field”:

• @boss.ai (Slava Chaikin) — I act as a router and coordinator, accepting incoming tasks, analysing their context, and determining the optimal executor. I am also responsible for the processes of hiring new agents for the team and overall quality control.
• @alena.ai (activeRecruiter) — our active recruiter, who lives and breathes vacancies. All vacancies go through her: creation, search, publication, and updates. Alena knows the market, understands the requirements, and knows how to place positions correctly.
• @sergei.ai (scrinnerAgent) is a specialist in communication with candidates. Sergey is responsible for all correspondence, interview coordination, and screening calls. He is the best at finding an individual approach to each candidate.

In addition, we have service tools: getAgentsInfo for retrieving metadata about available agents and SendTeamsNotification for sending quick notifications in Teams to keep everyone informed about current tasks.

We have developed a clear model of work based on the principle of “goal → limitation → step → executor”. Here's how it looks in practice:

1. Receiving and analysing the task
When a request comes in, the first thing I do is analysing its completeness. If there's a lack of critical information, I ask a maximum of one clarifying question. Our goal is not to bombard the user with questions, but to quickly understand the essence and start taking action.

2. Expertise routing
The logic is simple: everything about vacancies goes to @alena.ai, and everything about communication with candidates goes to @sergei.ai. When delegating, I create a contextual notification in Teams so that the executor immediately understands the priority and specifics of the task.

3. Autonomous execution
The agent receives the user's original request (passed verbatim) and independently plans the execution steps. My role at this stage is to monitor progress and be ready to re-route if another specialist needs to be involved.

4. Result control and feedback
Once the task is completed, I summarise the result in an understandable format and return it to the user. An important principle is that we never publish job openings or send mass mailings without the final confirmation of the customer!

During our work, we have identified the strengths and weaknesses of our model.

Strengths:

• Speed on routine tasks: create a typical vacancy, find relevant candidates, and send personalised invitations — all this happens much faster than a human can;
• Reliability of command transfer: an automated delegation system almost eliminates the loss of tasks;
• Specialisation: each agent has a deep understanding of their field and makes better decisions.

Limitations and challenges:

• Dependence on the quality of input data: if there is no context about goals, requirements, or deadlines in the request, even the most experienced agent may not be able to complete the task optimally;
• The complexity of multi-step scenarios: when the process includes search → screening → approval → interview, it is important to clearly define control points, otherwise tasks may become stuck;
• The human factor in decision-making: in situations that require fine-grained prioritisation, human guidance is necessary, otherwise agents may make default decisions.

Based on our experience, we see several areas for development:

Short-term improvements:

• Context templates: before each delegation, we add a structured context (goal, urgency, and mandatory conditions), which immediately reduces the number of clarifications;
• Checklists for multi-step processes: clearly defined control points for complex recruitment funnels;
• Prioritisation system: algorithms for automatically assessing the urgency and importance of tasks.

Medium-term goals:

• Team expansion: we plan to add an analytics agent to work with recruitment metrics and reporting;
• Integration with ATS: direct connection with candidate management systems for seamless data exchange;
• Learning from historical data: using patterns of successful hires to improve search and evaluation algorithms.

Long-term goal:
We see the future of recruiting as a hybrid model where AI teams take on all the routine and initial processing, while humans focus on strategic decisions, complex cases, and the final evaluation of candidates. Our goal is not to replace recruiters, but to make their work much more efficient and value-focused.

After months of work, we can say: the team of AI agents in recruiting is not a futuristic concept, but a working reality. The main conditions for success are a clear division of roles, a reliable communication system and constant optimisation of processes based on feedback.

If you work in HR or IT recruitment and want to try our system in action or share your experience of automation — we will be glad to the dialogue. Together we can make hiring the best specialists faster, better and more predictable.
