A candidate reply agent that books the interview before the nurse falls asleep.

Book a 30-minute callHow it works

A nurse applies at 11:47 PM and hears from three hospitals. The first reply gets the interview. Recruiters are asleep. The agent is not.

The candidate reply agent texts every applicant within a minute, answers the first questions accurately, and puts qualified candidates on the recruiter's calendar before a competitor calls.

What it does

  1. First reply in 60 seconds that names the exact role and asks one qualifying question (licensure state, shift preference).
  2. Answers from an approved bank: pay and differentials, schedule, W-2 vs 1099, licensure and who pays for additional states, start dates, benefits headline.
  3. Books the interview onto the recruiter's calendar with real times, including a next-morning slot for midnight applicants.
  4. Nurtures: no-reply nudges with new information, interview no-show recovery, wrong-timing check-ins, license-pending follow-ups.
  5. Escalates negotiation, complaints, anything legal or clinical, to a recruiter with the thread attached.
  6. Classifies and reports: every reply tagged (book, answer, objection, not now, closed) in your ATS or CRM.

What recruiters get back

Their mornings. Instead of a voicemail queue and cold leads, a calendar of booked conversations with the pre-screen answers attached. The agent handles the chasing; the recruiter does the closing.

Compliance

TCPA consent captured at application, TCR registration handled in setup, opt-out honored everywhere, quiet hours respected except the single immediate reply to the applicant's own submission. No preference signals in any message. Works with Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, and most ATSs through your CRM.

Results it moves

Applicant-to-interview rate, time to first reply, time to fill. Copy the message bank from candidate follow-up text templates to see the voice.

Common questions

Straight answers

What is a candidate reply AI agent?
An agent that responds to every job applicant within a minute, answers common questions from an approved bank, books interviews onto recruiters' calendars, and runs nurture sequences for candidates who stall, escalating anything complex to a human.
Will candidates know they are texting an AI?
The agent identifies as your organization and hands off by name when a recruiter takes over. It is written to sound like a competent person typing fast, and it never claims to be human when asked.
Does it work with our ATS?
Yes, through your CRM. Provido has integrated with Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse, and Bullhorn, and the agent writes classifications and booking outcomes back to your system.
How does it handle pay questions?
From an approved answer bank you sign off on before launch. Anything outside the bank, including negotiation, escalates to a recruiter immediately.
