Airtable Recruitment Pipeline Automation Agent
The Airtable Recruitment Pipeline Automation Agent is a HR & Recruitment HR template that an AI employee runs end to end, covering stage-based whatsapp updates, interview scheduling and offer letter triggers. When a candidate record in Airtable moves to a new stage, AI triggers the appropriate action: interview invite at 'Shortlisted', schedule confirmation at 'Interview Scheduled', offer letter at 'Offer', onboarding welcome at 'Hired'. All done via WhatsApp and email - no manual recruiter messaging required.
