Autom8 for recruitment | Screen and track candidates on WhatsApp

Spend your time on candidates, not on chasing them.

Applicants message you on WhatsApp, answer your screening questions and send their resume. Your recruiters pick up from one shared inbox.

Runs on the official WhatsApp Business API, on your own number.

WhatsApp chat: an applicant tells Prime Staffing they are in Chennai with 3 years of experience, and is asked for a resume.
Example chat. Not a live hiring desk.

On your side, for this candidate

  • Answers captured in the conversation
  • Resume received in the same chat
  • Recruiter replies from the shared inbox

What changes with every applicant

Screening is repetitive work, and it grows with every opening.

How a candidate travels

Candidates stay in WhatsApp, and your recruiters see everyone in one place.

  1. Candidate messages you

    From a job post, a Click-to-WhatsApp ad or a QR code.

  2. They answer your questions

    Short questions and a file upload capture the basics and the resume.

  3. A recruiter takes over

    The chat appears in the shared inbox, and the bot pauses when a person replies.

  4. Updates go out

    Approved templates reach the candidates you select, such as interview details.

What sits behind the chat

The pieces a hiring team uses every day.

Screening questions
Build the questions and the file upload to suit each role.

Is Autom8 right for your business?

It comes down to how many candidates you contact for each opening.

Likely a good fit if you

  • Handle many applicants for each role and ask them the same questions.
  • Spend recruiter time on first calls and collecting resumes.
  • Want one shared inbox for the hiring team.
  • Need to update candidates without messaging each one.

You may not need it yet if

  • You hire a few people a year and talk to every candidate yourself.
  • You need a full applicant tracking system with job board posting and reporting. Autom8 may sit beside one.

If you already have a system that handles this well, you don't need another tool. Not sure? Tell us how you work today and we'll say honestly whether automation would change anything.
