Cegid Talentsoft integration: AI that supports a structured hiring process

The limits of a tightly framed process

• Many steps. Approvals, sign-off workflows, several stakeholders: every application passes through many hands before a first contact.
• The reading work is still all there. The process is well documented, but someone still has to read every resume and call every candidate.
• Assessments that are hard to compare. Between two managers or two entities, interviews don't produce the same information.

How the Cegid Talentsoft integration works

1. Admin approval. The admin of your Cegid Talentsoft environment authorizes Delectus to read jobs and applications.
2. Read-only retrieval. The data arrives in Delectus without changing your workflows or your approvals.
3. Decisions prepared. AI ranks, the agents qualify, interviews are structured, and your teams decide.

What does the Delectus Cegid Talentsoft integration make possible?

Cegid Talentsoft is a talent management suite used by large organizations, whose recruiting module governs jobs, applications and approval steps. It meets those organizations' needs for traceability and governance.

Delectus leaves that framework untouched. It adds speed to the steps where human time is concentrated: reading applications, first conversations with candidates and interview preparation. The information it produces helps your teams move faster through the process you defined.

Explainable resume analysis, built for large enterprises

In a large organization, a decision has to be explainable. Delectus AI doesn't just give a score: for each candidate, it shows which of the job's criteria are met or not, with the parts of the resume that support it. A summary covers the candidate's strengths and gaps for the role.

These explanations are useful to the recruiter as much as to the hiring manager and, if needed, to justify a choice to a candidate or an internal auditor. No candidate is rejected automatically.

Prescreen without adding weight to the process

The SMS prescreening agent contacts shortlisted candidates to check the role's basic conditions. It introduces itself as an AI, asks for the candidate's consent, then asks the job's questions. The candidate replies by text or on WhatsApp, at their own pace. After two follow-ups with no reply, the voice prescreening agent calls them, and the recruiter is alerted if the call doesn't go through.

The answers are filed in the candidate profile, criterion by criterion, and candidates who fit are offered a meeting in recruiters' open slots, thanks to the calendar synced with Outlook or Teams.

Interviews scored on the same criteria across the organization

Each job has an interview kit, with its questions and its scorecard. The video interview is transcribed in real time, and a report by theme is produced at the end, with the passages that support each assessment. A first round can also be handed to Alicia, the AI interviewer.

Hiring committees get consistent summaries, whichever manager or entity ran the interview.

Example: hiring a financial controller in a corporate group

A subsidiary of a large group opens a financial controller position in Cegid Talentsoft, with an approval workflow involving the CFO and HR. The applications retrieved by Delectus are ranked against the job's criteria, and each ranking shows the parts of the resume that support it.

The recruiter shortlists six candidates, whom the SMS agent prescreens on mobility and salary expectations. After the interviews, the CFO receives reports with the same structure for each finalist. Approval then happens in Cegid Talentsoft, as usual, but on files that already make their case.

Compliance, security and human oversight

The connection is read-only: Delectus writes nothing to Cegid Talentsoft. The data retrieved is hosted in the European Union and is not used to train any AI model. Candidates are told they are talking to an AI, and decisions stay human, which matches the requirements of the GDPR and the EU AI Act for recruiting.
