✅ Step 1: Click "Launch AI Agent"

Navigate to your job order's Applications Received tab and click Launch AI Agent at the top right of the screen.


💡 Step 2: Understand What the Agent Does

On the welcome screen, you’ll see an overview of what the AI Agent can do:

  • Auto-Screen Applications: Match resumes and profiles to your job criteria.

  • Auto-Book Interviews: Automatically schedule interviews (if enabled in your flow).

  • Auto-Reject Emails: Instantly send customized rejection emails.

Click Launch to continue to the setup prompt.


🧠 Step 3: Build Your Screening Prompt

Here, you’ll define how the AI Agent will evaluate candidates:

  1. Matching Criteria:
    Choose to match candidates by:

    • Resume only

    • Resume + Candidate Profile

  2. Job Information to Use:

    • Full Job Description

    • Required Job Skills only [Faster]

  3. AI Matching Model:

    • Jombone AI Model (default)

    • Deep Research [Beta] for smarter results

  4. Score Threshold & Actions:
    Set the score (e.g., 70%) to trigger:

    • Shortlist action (Send Email, Send Text, or No Action Needed)

    • Application status update (Initial Interview, Screened, etc.)

    • Rejection action (Auto Reject or No Action Needed)

If email or text actions are selected, you’ll be prompted to edit the default message before launching.

Click Launch Agent when done.


⚠️ Step 4: Confirm Launch

A final confirmation screen will appear:

You’re about to launch your AI Agent. This will automatically engage all applicants via email and text.

Click Yes to proceed.
🛑 Note: Once launched, this action cannot be paused or undone.


🔄 Step 5: Agent in Progress

After you confirm launch, the AI Agent will begin processing your prompt.
You’ll see a series of real-time messages on screen that indicate the Agent’s progress — from initialization to screening and finalizing actions.


📊 Step 6: AI Screening Summary

Once complete, a results summary will display:

  • Total Applications

  • Screened Successfully

  • Shortlisted Applications

  • Rejected Applications

Click Done to finish.


🔁 Optional: Enable the “Always On” Toggle

At the bottom of the prompt builder, you’ll find the “Always on” toggle.

Always on
​Keep the AI Agent always active on your job order.

When enabled:

  • Every new applicant is immediately screened using your saved AI Agent prompt.

  • Shortlisting, rejections, and messages happen in real-time.

  • No manual actions are needed unless you want to override or intervene.

This is ideal for high-volume job orders or when you want a hands-free screening flow.
