Key capabilities
Auto CV parsing
Resumes are parsed into structured profiles the instant they arrive. Skills, experience, and education are extracted and made searchable.
Stage-triggered emails
Configure email templates that fire automatically when candidates enter a stage. Acknowledgments, prep guides, and follow-ups run on autopilot.
Screening questionnaires
Set qualifying questions per job. Candidates answer before a recruiter reviews, and responses are scored to surface the best fits first.
Slack alerts
Get instant notifications in Slack for new applications, stage changes, and team mentions. Never miss a candidate update.
Bulk operations
Move, tag, reject, or export candidates in bulk. Download all resumes for a role as a single ZIP file with one click.
Calendar sync
Interview scheduling pulls availability from Google Calendar and sends confirmations. Rescheduling updates everyone automatically.
Why recruitment automation matters
Recruiters spend up to 40% of their time on administrative tasks: copying data between systems, sending status updates, scheduling interviews, and filing resumes. Recruitment automation gives that time back by handling the predictable, repeatable parts of hiring without human intervention.
Draft automates the entire candidate intake process. When someone applies, their resume is parsed, a profile is created, a confirmation email is sent, and the applicant appears on your pipeline board, all in seconds. No recruiter touched anything, yet the candidate experience was immediate and professional.
Automation that scales with your hiring volume
When you are hiring for one role, manual processes feel manageable. When you are hiring for twenty, they collapse. Draft's automation layer was designed to handle volume without breaking. Stage-triggered actions, templated communications, and bulk operations mean that hiring ten roles takes roughly the same effort as hiring one.
The analytics dashboard shows exactly where automation is saving time. Track the number of auto-parsed resumes, emails sent, and questionnaires completed without recruiter involvement. These metrics make it easy to quantify the ROI of recruitment automation for your team.
Keep the human touch where it counts
Automation does not mean impersonal. Draft's email templates support merge fields that insert candidate names, job titles, and interviewer details. Candidates receive timely, relevant communication that feels personal because the content is tailored, even though the delivery is automatic.
The self-service application portal is another example. Candidates can check their status, upload documents, and respond to questionnaires on their own schedule. They feel informed and empowered; your recruiters get fewer status-check emails.
Frequently asked questions
CV parsing, confirmation emails, stage-change notifications, interview scheduling via Google Calendar, screening questionnaire delivery, candidate status updates, bulk candidate actions, and Slack notifications.
No. Every automated email uses customizable templates with merge fields for candidate name, role, and other details. The result is timely, personalized communication that candidates appreciate.
Yes. Automations are configured per pipeline stage and per job. You choose what triggers, what message sends, and what actions follow. Nothing runs unless you set it up.
Not at all. Draft's automations are configured through a visual interface. Pick a trigger, choose an action, customize the details, and save. No code, no IT team required.
You create a questionnaire with qualifying questions for each role. When candidates apply, they answer the questionnaire. Draft scores responses and surfaces the strongest matches at the top of your pipeline.
