Scale hiring by automating candidate engagement and tapping into existing talent pools with Ignite AI

Engage candidates at every step, from first click to hire

With hundreds of applicants applying to many open roles, keeping each one informed and moving through the process is difficult for recruiters to manage. The Candidate Engagement Agent automates manual outreach and coordination, saving time and giving candidates a more connected, supported experience.

Automate candidate engagement: Conversational AI across web and text gives candidates a responsive experience by answering questions and guiding their applications.

Keep candidates moving: We automate tasks like collecting screening information, scheduling interviews, and routing applicants to the next step of the process.

Maintain ready-to-engage pipelines: Dynamic talent lists automatically surface candidate matches based on factors like location and work history, so you have a pipeline ready to connect with as business needs evolve.

Tap into your existing talent pool to save on sourcing efforts

The perfect candidate for a new role might already be in your talent pool, but finding and re-engaging them manually is time consuming. The Talent Rediscovery Agent automatically surfaces past candidates who match current open roles, making it easier to restart the conversation.

Identify matches for open roles: The agent searches candidates and leads, matches them with role criteria, and provides a summary of each candidate’s qualifications so you get the context you need to make faster decisions.

Re-engage candidates with personalized outreach: Once you've identified who’s a fit, you can launch automated outreach through text or email to invite them to apply and keep them engaged through the process.

Measure and control the role of AI in the process

AI can speed up the recruiting process and make teams more efficient, but maintaining visibility and oversight over what it’s doing is critical. Ignite AI includes a centralized dashboard to manage AI across the platform so you can measure its impact and adopt it confidently.

The Ignite AI Hub provides granular visibility into recruiting agents along with all the others across the Paylocity platform. You can:

• Measure business impact like how many candidates were rediscovered and matched with new roles.
• See the number of automated engagements with candidates and how many of those candidates get hired.
• Control which agents are active and who has access to use them.
• Identify additional areas our agents can automate processes, including doing data analysis and streamlining pay & time.

As part of our commitment to responsible AI, our recruiting agents went through an independent audit that found no evidence of bias in the recommendations and insights they provide. The agents do not remove applicants from view or make hiring decisions — you and your team stay in control of decisions and can assess every candidate before deciding which to engage.

We also provide visibility to candidates by notifying them about the use of AI in recruiting and giving them the option to opt out. This ensures everyone understands and is in control of the role AI plays in the process.
