A day in the life of a solo recruiter at a growing company
- Every role at once. Support, sales, a developer, an accountant: every team wanted its hire yesterday.
- Busy hiring managers. They want to see the right candidates, not read fifty resumes. You need to bring them a shortlist with the reasoning behind it.
- Fragmented days. Between candidate calls and check-ins with managers, there's little time left to read carefully.
How the JazzHR integration works
- Connect during setup. A JazzHR admin authorizes Delectus to read jobs and applications.
- Read-only import. Applications and resumes arrive in Delectus. JazzHR stays unchanged.
- The agents get to work. Resume ranking, prescreening by text and phone, an interview kit for each role.
Why an AI-powered JazzHR integration?
JazzHR is recruiting software widely used by small businesses to post jobs and track candidates. It keeps the work organized. Reading resumes, first conversations and interview prep are still done by hand, though, and that's where a solo recruiter loses their days.
Delectus picks up every application from JazzHR, reads it and compares it to the job. The ranking comes with its reasons, and an AI summary sums up the candidate's strengths and gaps. For a specific question, the AI chat checks the resume for you, for example to find out whether the person has managed a client portfolio before.
Bring every manager a clear shortlist
When the support lead asks how their search is going, you show them the five closest candidates, each with the reasons for the ranking and their prescreening answers. They can leave feedback in the candidate profile, and you assign them a task if they need to meet someone. Interviews are booked in the calendar synced with Outlook or Teams.
For each role, you also see where the search stands on the job's kanban board: candidates received, contacted, prescreened, interviewing. When a manager asks for an update, you show them the prescreened column instead of piecing the week together from memory.
Example: three support reps to hire in a month
A 40-person software company needs to grow its customer support team. The job posted from JazzHR gets more applications than expected. Delectus surfaces the ones with real B2B support experience, and the SMS prescreening agent checks availability, remote work preferences and the required level of English with them.
Shortlisted candidates do a first interview with Alicia, the AI interviewer, at a time that works for them. The recruiter reads the reports, picks the strongest candidates and sets up final interviews with the support lead.
Candidates get contacted even when you're in a meeting
The SMS agent introduces itself as an AI, asks for the candidate's consent, then asks the job's questions. It follows up twice if needed, then the voice agent calls. You're notified as soon as a candidate replies, and if someone still can't be reached, you take over.
What you gain day to day
The change shows up mostly in your schedule. The morning's applications are already ranked when you open Delectus, yesterday's shortlisted candidates have answered the agent's questions, and today's interviews have their kit ready. You spend your time assessing candidates and talking with managers, rather than reading, calling and chasing. And when you're out for a week, candidates still get an answer.
Your JazzHR data stays untouched
Delectus reads your jobs, applications and resumes without writing anything to JazzHR. The imported data is hosted in the European Union and isn't used to train any model.
