What's left to do once profiles are identified
- Reaching candidates. Knowing who fits the role doesn't tell you whether the person is available. You still have to call them, often several times.
- Checking the conditions. Start date, pay, willingness to relocate: these points often decide what happens next, and they're checked by hand.
- Running consistent interviews. From one recruiter to the next, the questions change, and candidates are hard to compare when it's time to choose.
How the Eightfold integration works
- You authorize the connection. During setup, an admin of your Eightfold platform authorizes Delectus to read your jobs and applications.
- Applications arrive. Jobs, applications and resumes are pulled in automatically, read-only. Nothing is changed in Eightfold.
- The agents start the conversation. Shortlisted candidates are contacted, qualified and invited to an interview in your open slots.
Eightfold and Delectus: two AIs for two moments
Eightfold is an AI-based talent management platform used by large organizations to hire and develop their employees. You already identify relevant profiles there.
Delectus doesn't redo that work for its own sake. It brings what comes next: the conversation with the candidate, checking the role's conditions and the interview. It also reads every resume against your criteria and explains its assessment, giving the recruiter a reasoned second opinion before contacting anyone.
Qualify by text and phone, in French
The SMS prescreening agent writes to the candidate, says it is an AI and asks for consent. It then asks the job's questions, rephrases when an answer is vague and spots contradictions. It can also communicate over WhatsApp.
If there is no reply after two follow-ups, the voice prescreening agent calls. It holds a real phone conversation, filters out background noise and returns a transcript and a summary. For roles in France, conversations happen in French, using the job's vocabulary.
Interviews equipped end to end
Each role gets an interview kit with questions and scoring criteria. The first round can be handed to Alicia, the AI interviewer, or run by the recruiter by video with a real-time transcript and suggested questions on themes not yet covered.
The end-of-interview report analyzes the answers by theme and quotes the passages that support each assessment. The hiring manager can read it before the decision meeting and ask questions based on facts.
Example: hiring project managers
A company opens several project manager positions in its French subsidiaries. Relevant profiles have been identified, but the team doesn't have time to call them all. Delectus pulls in the applications, the SMS agent checks each person's availability and expectations, and aligned candidates get an interview slot. The recruiter spends the week in interviews rather than on the phone.
Next time, the team keeps the same criteria and the same interview kit for this type of role. Candidates who were interviewed but not hired stay in the Delectus candidate database, and come back up when a similar role opens in another subsidiary.
Which hires does the Eightfold integration save time on?
It's most useful for roles where interesting profiles are identified quickly but contact drags on, such as technical roles, sales positions or roles to fill across several regions. The time saved lies between the moment a profile is spotted and the moment they're sitting in an interview.
It also helps when several recruiters work on the same jobs. Prescreening answers and interview reports are stored in the same place, in the same format, and everyone knows where each candidate stands without a status meeting.
Eightfold integration: read-only and protected data
The connection changes nothing in Eightfold. Delectus reads your jobs, applications and resumes, and your statuses and analyses stay as they are in your platform.
The data retrieved is hosted in the European Union, is not used to train any model and follows your retention periods.
