Recruitment Chatbot
Automate Candidate Conversations on WhatsApp and Your Careers Site
A recruitment chatbot is an AI agent that chats with candidates on WhatsApp or your careers site to answer questions, screen applicants, book interviews, and re-engage past talent automatically.
Meet Candidates Where They Actually Are
Turn Every Candidate Conversation into a Hiring Opportunity
Great candidates shouldn’t be lost to slow responses. Our AI recruitment chatbot engages applicants instantly, answers questions, screens talent, and books interviews to keep every hiring opportunity moving forward.
WhatsApp + Web Chat
Candidates chat where they already are — WhatsApp or your careers site — and get an instant reply in English or Hindi, day or night, with the same conversation carrying across both channels.
Conversational Pre-Screening
The chatbot asks for CTC, notice period, experience, and location in a natural chat, scores each reply against the role, and flags who’s worth a call.
Interview Scheduling & Reminders
Our AI recruitment chatbot offers open slots, confirms booking, and sends WhatsApp reminders before the interview, so fewer candidates ghost.
Candidate Re-engagement
Re-open your talent pool automatically, messaging past applicants about new roles they fit, turning your database into a live pipeline.
How Hirin.ai’s AI Recruitment Chatbot Works
Screen Candidates Before the First Interview
Hirin’s recruitment chatbot pre-screens candidates through natural conversations, capturing key details and identifying the right talent before recruiters step in.
Candidate Starts a Chat
A candidate applies on your careers site or replies to a WhatsApp message; the chatbot greets them instantly and identifies itself as a hiring assistant.
Chatbot Answers Every Question
Role details, salary range, location, interview process, next steps, all answered 24/7 in English or Hindi, without a recruiter lifting a finger.
First-Pass Chat Screen
The chatbot captures CTC, notice period, experience, and availability conversationally and scores each answer. For a spoken screen, see AI voice screening; for CVs, AI resume screening.
Interview Booking
Qualified candidates are offered open slots, get a confirmation, and receive WhatsApp reminders, with no scheduling back-and-forth.
Recruiters Get a Qualified Shortlist
Every chat is logged, scored, and synced into Hirin (and your ATS). Candidates who don’t qualify stay in the talent pool for automatic re-engagement, so no lead is wasted.
More Candidate Engagement. Faster Hiring. Better Placements.

Up to 40% Fewer
No-Shows Automated chat confirmations, reminders, and one-tap rescheduling keep booked interviews on the calendar.

FAQs
What is a recruitment chatbot?
A recruitment chatbot is an AI agent that chats with candidates on WhatsApp or a careers site to automatically answer their questions, pre-screen them, schedule interviews, and re-engage past applicants. It absorbs the repetitive, high-volume conversations that pull recruiters away from placements. Hirin’s chatbot runs on both channels and logs every conversation and score into your ATS.
How does an AI recruitment chatbot work?
It greets a candidate the moment they apply or reply, answers their questions in natural language, asks role-based screening questions (CTC, notice period, experience, and location), scores the answers, books interviews for qualified candidates, and logs everything into the recruitment platform for the recruiter to review.
Can a recruitment chatbot work on WhatsApp?
Yes, recruitment chat can work on WhatsApp. Hirin’s AI recruitment chatbot runs natively on WhatsApp, where messages see ~98% open rates versus 20–25% for email, so candidates actually reply. It also runs as a widget on your careers site for the same conversation across channels.
What can a recruiting chatbot do for a staffing agency?
For a staffing agency, a recruitment chatbot engages 100% of applicants instantly, pre-screens them conversationally, books interviews, sends reminders to cut no-shows, and re-engages your existing talent pool for new mandates. It, thus, lets each recruiter carry more roles without more admin.
What's the difference between a rule-based chatbot and an AI recruitment chatbot?
A rule-based chatbot follows a fixed menu and mostly answers FAQs. An AI recruitment chatbot understands natural language, holds a real screening conversation, scores responses, schedules interviews and re-engages candidates — moving people through the funnel instead of just replying.
Does the recruitment chatbot screen candidates?
Yes, it runs a conversational, text-based first-pass screen and scores each reply. For a spoken phone screen, Hirin uses AI voice screening; for CV-based ranking, AI resume screening. Most staffing teams use all three together.
What languages does a recruitment chatbot support?
Hirin’s recruitment chatbot supports both English and Hindi/Hinglish, built for how candidates across India’s IT, BFSI, and BPO/KPO pipelines actually chat in messages.
Does a recruitment chatbot handle data securely?
Yes, Hirin’s recruitment chatbot identifies itself as an AI hiring assistant. It stores every conversation, score, and transcript securely to be used only for screening, not for selling or sharing.
