Agent Builder

Hiring moves at the speed of your slowest approval

Requisitions, offers and BGV cases queue up behind sign-offs that follow predictable rules. The agent checks each pending approval against the rules and SLA conditions you configure and clears the ones that meet every condition. The agent coordinates. The recruiter closes.

The problem

Most approvals are decided before anyone reads them

An offer inside the approved salary band. A BGV case with every check clear. A requisition that matches the budgeted plan. The outcome of these approvals is known the moment they are raised, yet each one sits in an inbox waiting for someone to open it.

Chasing those sign-offs across email, chat and reminders is coordination work sitting on a recruiter’s desk. While the request waits, the candidate waits with it. Offers slip, joining dates move, and the delay adds nothing except risk to the hire.

What the agent does

The agent coordinates. The recruiter closes.

The agent picks up pending approvals such as BGV, offer and requisition sign-offs, checks each one against the rules and SLA conditions you configure and approves the ones that meet every condition. Anything outside the rules waits for a human decision, exactly as it does today.

Approver judgement is reserved for the cases where it changes the outcome. The recruiter keeps the hire moving instead of chasing signatures.

Agent watches

Picks up every pending approval as it is raised.

Agent evaluates

Checks the request against the rules and SLA conditions you configure.

Agent coordinates

Approves requests that meet every condition and moves the workflow to its next step.

Recruiter closes

Takes the approved offer, case or requisition forward without waiting on an inbox.

From pending to approved, automatically

Every Agent Builder workflow follows the same simple logic. An event starts the process, your rules determine what happens next, and the agent takes the action without waiting for a recruiter.

01 Set a trigger

Trigger

Approval request raised

The agent picks up pending approvals for BGV, offers, requisitions or other sign-offs in your workflow.

02 Add conditions

Condition

The request meets your rules

Salary bands, budget limits, check results, SLA conditions or any other criteria you define for that approval type.

03 Define an action

Action

Approve the request

Requests that meet every condition are approved, and the workflow moves to the next step. Everything else waits for a human.

04 Test before going live

Communication

Keep everyone informed

The requester knows the approval is done, and the next step begins without anyone sending a follow-up.

Configure once. The agent coordinates from there.

How the coordination happens

Recruiters stop chasing sign-offs. They start closing.

report

Routine approvals stop waiting on inboxes

Offers, BGV cases and requisitions that meet your conditions clear the moment they qualify, on any day at any hour.

housekeeping

Approvers see only the exceptions

Human attention goes to the requests where judgement changes the outcome, instead of a queue of foregone conclusions.

conversations

Candidates feel the difference

Offers go out sooner and joining dates hold, because the steps between decision and action no longer sit in a queue.

Part of something bigger

Agents coordinate every step around the recruiter

Approval workflows are one thing Agent Builder can coordinate. Once a requisition clears, Smart Job Distribution opens it with full reach. Zero Ghost Jobs retires it when hiring stops. In between, Human Interview Fast Track and Pipeline Hygiene keep candidates moving.

The pattern stays the same: agents handle the coordination, while recruiters handle the conversations, decisions and relationships that move hiring forward.

FAQs

1. What is the Approval Agent?

It clears pending approvals such as BGV, offer and requisition sign-offs when they meet the rules and SLA conditions you configure. Approvals that fall outside the rules wait for a human, exactly as they do today.

2. What kinds of approvals can it handle?

BGV sign-offs, offer approvals, requisition approvals and other approval steps in your hiring workflow, each with its own rules.

3. Who decides the rules?

You do. You configure the conditions a request must meet before the agent can approve it, and you can change them as your policies evolve.

4. What happens to requests that do not meet the rules?

They wait for human approval the way they do today. The agent only clears requests that satisfy every condition you have defined. A companion agent can also alert the hiring manager the moment an approval is rejected, so the requisition is revised instead of dying silently.

5. Does this remove human oversight?

No. You decide which approvals qualify for automation and how tight the conditions are. Exceptions and judgement calls stay with your approvers.

6. Can different approval types follow different rules?

Yes. An offer approval can check salary bands while a requisition approval checks budget and headcount, each configured separately.

7. How do SLA conditions fit in?

SLA conditions can be part of the rules you configure, so timing requirements are applied alongside the other criteria a request must meet.

8. Is this only for approvals?

No. The Approval Agent is one use case for Agent Builder. The same framework can coordinate many other repetitive steps across the hiring process.
