Employment Hero will not automatically repost any details you make to your job ad to your chosen job board.

Enabling the Shortlisting Agent

Enable the Shortlisting Agent for a job

The Shortlisting Agent is an AI assistant built into the Recruitment module. It automatically evaluates every candidate who applies for an active, published job. You set up your must-have criteria when you build the Ideal Candidate Profile during job creation, and the agent does the rest. 

To learn how to set up the Ideal Candidate Profile, please refer to this article: Create and post a job.

  1. Click Recruitment in the left-hand side menu.
  2. Click the Recruitment submenu.
  3. Click the role you need. Note that the Shortlisting Agent can only be enabled for active, published jobs.
  4. Click the three dots button (...) around the upper right-hand corner of your screen.

  5. Click Edit hiring process.
  6. In the New stage, toggle the switch button on for Shortlisting Agent. The feature is enabled if it is purple.
  7. You will see the following:
    • Shortlist when: All must-have criteria are met.
    • Auto-advance: To the next stage in your hiring process.
    • Candidate outreach: Candidates with a missing must-have will receive an SMS from the agent. When the candidate requests a callback, the agent calls them. 1 credit is used for every successful call.
  8. (Optional) In the Budget field, you can set how many credits you will allot for this particular job.
    • After editing the budget, click the Update button.

When you turn the agent on, it immediately assesses all candidates currently sitting in the New stage. Note that the assessment itself is free. A credit is only used if the agent places a call to a candidate. Auto-advancing candidates who meet all criteria cost nothing.

To learn more about the Shortlisting Agent, please refer to this article: AI-powered Shortlisting Agent.

How do I get the most out of this feature?
  • Filters are pre-set to show active roles in all teams and countries. Simply click a filter to change your results.
  • Once you use a role or country within a role, it will appear within the relevant filter.
  • You can search for a role using the Search field.
  • You can sort roles by role title or creation date using the   on-the-table header.
  • You can see all the candidates within a role by clicking the Role title.
  • To view more options, select the   button next to the roll of your choice.
  • The Role Overview page shows the latest status changes made to a role, such as the creator, close date, and who reopened the role and when.
  • The Edit Role feature allows you to update the job details, change the hiring process, add hiring managers and/or collaborators; edit and/or repost a role, or post a role to a job board.
  • The Close Role feature allows you to end a role and updates the Role Overview page.
  • The Copy Role feature allows you to copy the job details and hiring process of a current role.
  • The Delete Role removes a role completely from the Recruitment Module.
What data do we copy over when you onboard an employee?

We will copy over the following information:

  • Personal email auto-fills from candidate profile.
  • Team auto-fills from the team listed in the role details.
  • Candidate documents sync to the new employee's uploaded documents, for example, their resume, and cover letter.
Can I set up automatic replies for ‌candidates applying?

As soon as the candidate has applied for a role, they will receive an automatic system-generated email notification, confirming their job application has been received. It is similar to the standard emails that other job board platforms like Seek and Indeed utilise. Unfortunately, there are no platform settings associated with this and the email notification is not customisable at this stage.
