Introduction: The Future of Hiring with AI
In the early moments of the live, Ryan Baggott introduces the concept of HR AI agents and explains how they differ from standard AI assistants.
He emphasizes that while AI assistants primarily handle search and information retrieval, AI agents can autonomously perform a range of complex, multi-step workflows without continuous human intervention.
By building an HR AI agent With Chatbot Builder AI, companies can manage the entire hiring funnel—from job postings and candidate pre-qualification to scheduling interviews—almost entirely through intelligent automation.
What You’ll Learn:
- The difference between an AI assistant and an AI agent
- Why HR is a prime industry for AI-driven automation
- How AI agents can streamline hiring and reduce repetitive tasks for HR teams
Setting the Stage: Integrating the Resort’s Career Pages
Ryan chooses a real-world example, the Pink Shell Resort, to demonstrate how to build a custom HR AI agent.
He navigates their website, pulls in job listings, and sets up the system to interact with candidates—both potential guests and job applicants.
By uploading website data and integrating open job listings, the AI agent can now understand available positions and intelligently discuss them with candidates.
Key Highlights:
- Selecting a business (Pink Shell Resort) and extracting relevant career page content
- Training the AI agent on the company’s offerings, brand tone, and job listings
- Setting a tone and style for candidate communication, ensuring the brand voice is maintained
Building the Agent: From Candidate Inquiry to Automated Interviews
After preparing the knowledge base, Ryan constructs detailed workflows enabling the agent to:
- Present job openings to candidates.
- Collect full name, email, and phone number.
- Ask five tailored pre-qualification questions relevant to the chosen position.
- Store responses for evaluation and trigger follow-up actions—like sending data to Google Sheets or scheduling a further interview.
By carefully prompting the AI and integrating function calls (JSON flows), the HR agent can autonomously grade candidate responses, provide hiring recommendations, and seamlessly hand off top prospects to the HR manager.
The result: a reduced HR workload and accelerated hiring pipeline.
Key Highlights:
- Setting up pre-qualification workflows and function calls
- Mapping candidate answers to custom fields and storing them in a CRM or spreadsheet
- Ensuring the AI’s responses remain on-brand and useful at every step
Closing the Loop: Data Export, Recommendations & Next Steps
As the demonstration concludes, Ryan shows how all candidate information—names, contact details, and interview responses—can be automatically exported to Google Sheets.
The AI even provides a “hire” or “don’t hire” recommendation along with a brief rationale.
This final piece transforms the AI agent into a truly autonomous team member that not only gathers information but also offers initial hiring insights.
HR managers can use this data for quick decision-making.
Imagine a world where, by the time you arrive at your desk each morning, the AI agent has already pre-screened applicants, documented their responses, and identified top candidates—freeing up time for higher-value activities like personalized final interviews or onboarding.
Key Highlights:
- Exporting candidate data to spreadsheets or CRM tools
- Automated hiring recommendations and rationales generated by AI
- A final integrated workflow that runs autonomously, at scale
Conclusion: Your HR Agent Awaits
By the end of the session, it’s clear that building an HR AI agent is not only feasible—it’s a potential game-changer for hiring processes.
From initial applicant interest to structured interviews and decision-making guidance, the HR agent streamlines the entire process.
For anyone involved in talent acquisition, this live demonstration offers a blueprint for leveraging AI to save time, cut costs, and attract the right candidates.
