Where recruiting takes time
- Roles opening in waves. A funding round or a new client, and suddenly there are ten roles to fill at once, with the same HR team.
- Managers who are waiting. Every manager wants to see candidates fast. Screening and first conversations become the bottleneck.
- Interviews run differently. From one team to the next, questions and criteria vary, and candidates are hard to compare.
How the HiBob integration works
- Connect during setup. A HiBob admin gives the go-ahead from Delectus. Your settings don't change.
- HiBob recruiting data arrives in Delectus. Jobs and applications are imported read-only, along with resumes.
- You find prescreened candidates. Explained rankings, prescreening answers and prepared interviews are waiting for you in Delectus.
What does the Delectus HiBob integration add?
HiBob makes Bob, an HR platform designed for growing companies, often spread across several countries. Teams use it to manage employees, their journey within the company and, with the recruiting module, jobs and candidates.
A growing company opens roles fast, sometimes across several teams at once, and managers want candidates quickly. Delectus adds to Bob on the recruiting side: it reads the resumes for each job, contacts shortlisted candidates and prepares interviews, while your HR team keeps running everything else in Bob.
Your jobs are still posted from HiBob and your HR team keeps its habits. What changes is what recruiters and managers find when they open an application in Delectus: a resume already analyzed, a summary of strengths and gaps, and prescreening answers sorted by criterion.
How AI reads HiBob applications
The AI doesn't look for exact keywords. It compares backgrounds and skills to the job's criteria, which surfaces a candidate even when they described their experience in different words. For each candidate, you see the score broken down criterion by criterion.
The reading is there to save you time, not to decide for you. You're free to move forward with a candidate ranked lower, and the candidate profile keeps your notes, your tags and the conversation history.
Prescreen by text and by phone
For shortlisted candidates, the SMS prescreening agent sends a first message, introduces itself as an AI and asks for the candidate's consent. It then asks the job's questions in a real conversation, follows up when an answer is vague and spots answers that contradict each other. The conversation can also happen on WhatsApp.
If there's no reply after two follow-ups, the voice prescreening agent calls the candidate. If the person still can't be reached, you're notified and you take over. When the answers fit, the agent offers a meeting in your real open slots, thanks to the calendar synced with Outlook and Teams.
Example: a scale-up hiring six people in a quarter
A 150-person software company opens six roles in Bob after a funding round. Applications arrive in Delectus, ranked role by role. The talent team only reads the top of each list in detail, the SMS agent checks the interest and availability of shortlisted candidates, and each manager runs their interviews with the same kit of questions and a report by topic at the end.
Interviews supported from start to finish
Interview questions are prepared from the job, with their scoring criteria. During the video call, the transcript scrolls by and the tool suggests follow-up questions on topics not yet covered. The write-up by topic is ready at the end, and the recording stays available to listen back.
Read-only HiBob integration: your data stays protected
Nothing is changed in HiBob. Delectus only picks up what relates to recruiting, meaning jobs, applications and resumes, and leaves your employees' HR data aside.
The imported information is hosted in the European Union and isn't used to train any model. Candidates know they're talking with an AI, and none of them is set aside without a human decision.

How does the connection with HiBob work?

Does the AI make hiring decisions?
No. It reads, ranks and prescreens, and explains its reasons. The decision always belongs to your teams.
Can candidates decline to talk with the agent?
Yes. The agent introduces itself as an AI in the very first message and asks for the candidate's consent, and the candidate can end the conversation at any time.
