automation<\/strong><\/a> is transforming one of the most time-consuming parts of recruitment: candidate communication.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1517\">Every recruiter knows the cycle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1519\" data-end=\"1539\">A candidate applies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1577\">A recruiter reviews the application.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1579\"

data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1671\">An email follows.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1744\">Several follow-ups happen before a meaningful conversation takes place.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1746\" data-end=\"1815\">Now multiply that process across hundreds or thousands of applicants.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1817\" data-end=\"1898\">The result is a recruitment system overwhelmed by repetitive administrative work.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1900\" data-end=\"1963\">Recruiters spend valuable hours on outreach rather than hiring.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1965\"
