PMaps Recruit — The agentic hiring workflow

Résumé to decision-ready shortlist in three days.

Telescreening, assessment and video interview run as one pipeline. Candidates are invited, nudged, scored and advanced without a recruiter chasing anyone. You open one board and see who is ready to hire — with the evidence behind every score.

No licence, no commitment.

Callbacks that never connect

Three attempts per candidate to finish one five-minute screen — and the best candidates are gone before the third.

Interview slots

A panel calendar sets the pace of the whole requisition. Nothing moves faster than the next free hour.

Status chasing

Who has taken what, and who needs a nudge. Answered by a spreadsheet that is stale by lunchtime.

Four tools, four exports

A screening sheet, a test portal, an interview recording, an ATS — reconciled by hand, every week.

Manual funnel vs PMaps Recruit

Your ATS tracks candidates. This one evaluates them.

PMaps Recruit does not replace your ATS — it runs the evaluation layer between application and shortlist, and writes the result back.

One campaign, five stages

A campaign is a sequence of stages. Each stage is an agent with a job.

Résumé

Entry stage
The agent does
Parses each résumé, scores it against the job description, dedupes against existing candidates.
You get
A match score per candidate, and an optional threshold that auto-advances valid résumés.

Telescreen

AI voice call
The agent does
Calls the candidate, asks your weighted screening questions, handles retries and no-answers.
You get
A scored call report, executive summary, full transcript and recording.

Assessment

Psychometric + language
The agent does
Sends the assessment link, proctors the session, scores competencies and assigns a CEFR band.
You get
Competency-level scores, a recommendation, and a language band you can set a floor on.

Video interview

Asynchronous, proctored
The agent does
Conducts a conversational interview on the job's competencies, in the candidate's language.
You get
Fitment verdict, competency breakdown, psycholinguistic read, integrity report, recording.

Documents and offer

Closing stages
The agent does
Requests Aadhaar, PAN, education and experience proofs; issues offers and rejections on your click.
You get
A complete candidate file — documents, scores, recordings and comms history in one place.
Stages are optional and reorderable. A volume role might run Résumé to Telescreen to Assessment to Offer; a senior role might skip the telescreen entirely. The pipeline is yours to shape per requisition.
Setting up a campaign

Name the requisition, drag in the stages, pick an automation level.

You build the campaign once. The agents run every round after that.

Auto-extend off

Every stage carries its own settings

Linked job or assessment, email template, channels (email, WhatsApp, SMS), auto-pass and review thresholds, and the two automation switches.

"Automate all" is one click

Turns on auto-send and auto-advance across every stage at your thresholds. Use it on volume drives once your bands are calibrated.

Basic or advanced

Basic runs a linear sequence. Advanced adds branching for multi-location or multi-grade hiring off one requisition.

Clone for the next role

Duplicate a working campaign, relink the job, and you have a configured pipeline for a new requisition in minutes.

Stage 1 · Résumé

Every résumé scored against the job description.

Upload in bulk, paste a list, or pull candidates from your ATS. Each one is matched to the JD and given a score. Informational by default — nothing is rejected without your rule.

JD match score

Auto-scan scores each résumé against the campaign's job description; without one, there is nothing to score against.

Four ways in

Single entry, paste a list from a sheet, upload résumés, or import from PMaps Assessment or your ATS.

Enter at any stage

Agency candidates who are already screened can start at assessment. Walk-ins start at résumé. The dropdown decides.

Duplicates merge

A repeat résumé merges into the existing candidate with a log entry, so one person is one record across campaigns.

Stage 2 · Telescreen

The screening call, made on every candidate, on the first day.

The agent calls the candidate, works through your screening questions, and returns a scored report with transcript and recording. Role fit, business acumen, intent to join — captured on the first attempt, not the fifth callback.

Score, band and verdict

A number out of 100, a band (Developing, Proficient, Strong) and a hiring verdict — Consider, Reject, Advance.

Transcript and recording

Every answer is on record. Download the report, or replay the call when a hiring manager disagrees.

Reachability, handled

Retries, WhatsApp fallback and stale-invite flags mean an unreachable candidate is a data point, not a gap.

Resync when you disagree — re-run the scoring on an existing transcript after you change weights, without calling the candidate again.
Stage 3 · Assessment

The stage that predicts performance instead of describing a CV.

This is the PMaps assessment engine, running inside the pipeline. Pick from the role library or use your own validated instrument; the agent handles invitation, proctoring and scoring, then writes the result back to the candidate record.

Watch item. Emotional regulation is the one score below band — worth probing in the video round.

Behavioural competencies

Scored against the competency model for the role, not a generic personality read.

Free speech and fluency

Spoken response scored for clarity, pace and comprehensibility — the signal a written test misses.

Language floor

Set a minimum CEFR band; candidates below it surface in their own queue rather than in your shortlist.

Recommendation, with reasons

"Recommended" or "Not recommended", traceable to the competency scores that produced it.

Running the assessment after the telescreen means you only spend assessment capacity on candidates who are reachable, interested and roughly qualified — and you still get a validated psychometric read on everyone who reaches your shortlist. Move it earlier if your bottleneck is capability rather than intent.
Stage 4 · Video interview

The round you'd otherwise schedule — run on everyone who qualifies.

A conversational, proctored interview against the competencies derived from the job. Candidates take it 24×7 in the language they think in; you compare everyone on one scale.

Your avatar, your brand

The interviewer on screen can be your own customised avatar, so candidates meet your employer brand.

18 proctoring signals

Trust score, risk band and violation log — audit-ready when a hire is questioned months later.

No account, no download

One link from the invite opens the session in a browser, on a phone or a desktop, whenever the candidate is free.

The automation dial

How much you automate is a setting, not a leap of faith.

Every stage has two numbers and two switches. Set them role by role: tight and supervised for a branch manager, wide open for a 400-seat BPO drive. Start at review-everything and loosen as you trust the scores.

The win

Every automated decision leaves a record. Which stage, which score, which threshold, which question, which recording — timestamped on the candidate's activity log. That trail is what makes an automated funnel defensible to a candidate, an auditor or a business head.

Three groups per column

Auto-pass, auto-reject and awaiting result. Your attention belongs to the first two; the third is the agent still working.

Pass and reject in one click

Open the candidate, read the recommendation, press Pass or Reject. The next stage's invite goes out on the same action.

Skip-to, when a manager insists

Jump a candidate to any later stage. The skip is logged with who did it, so the exception is visible in an audit.

Clean or flagged

Each candidate carries an integrity state from proctoring. "Clean" means no violations across the session.

Roles and access. Owner, tenant admin, HR admin and superadmin, with two-factor available per user. Recruiters see their requisitions; leadership sees the funnel.
What lands on your desk

Not a shortlist. A dossier on every name in it.

By the time a candidate reaches your review queue, four independent evaluations already sit on their record — each with its own score, its own reasoning and its own replayable evidence.

Offer stays a human act

"Extend offer" is a button a person presses. Auto-extend on entry exists, and we recommend leaving it off. Rejections go out too, on a template you control — silence is the biggest complaint in hiring, and this removes it.

Why PMaps Recruit

Most hiring tools automate the messages. This automates the judgement — and shows its work.

Score trail

Three evaluations, one score trail

Telescreen, assessment and video interview sit on the same candidate record. No stitching four vendors' exports together to explain a decision.

Competency model

Assessment science, not a chatbot

Twenty years of psychometric work and 3M+ candidate assessments behind the competency models the agents score against.

Job inheritance

Derived from the job, not typed in

Link a role and each stage inherits its competencies, questions and weightage. Configuring a new campaign is minutes of work.

Parallel channels

Volume without a calendar

Thousands of screens run in parallel across email, WhatsApp and SMS. Candidates answer when they can; nobody waits for a slot.

Smart queues

Smart queues, not a 300-row list

Needs review, ready to advance, below the language bar, stale invites — the board tells your team where the next hour should go.

Funnel view

Funnel analytics per requisition

Stage-by-stage conversion, average score and completion rate — so you can see which stage is losing you candidates.

Analytics, comms and access

Read the narrowest step

If assessment halves your funnel, either the bar is too high or the invite copy is wrong. The funnel view tells you which stage to interrogate.

Email log per candidate

Every send is listed with template, channel, timestamp and delivery state — evidence when a candidate disputes contact.

Activity log per action

Score synced, advanced to next step, résumé merged, candidate created — the audit trail writes itself.

Four roles, 2FA per user

Owner, tenant admin, HR admin and superadmin. Add users by email; two-factor is a per-user toggle.

Enterprise-grade data protection, audited and certified.

Who owns the candidate data

You do. Data is held under DPDP and GDPR terms, retention is configurable, and candidates can be purged on request.

Every decision is traceable

Each stage score traces to a question, a weight, a recording and a threshold, timestamped on the candidate's log.

Overrides are attributed

Manual overrides and skip-to actions are recorded against the user who made them, so exceptions are visible in an audit.

Proctoring evidence retained

Evidence is retained with the recording rather than summarised away — audit-ready when a hire is questioned months later.

Rollout plan

One role, then one function, then the volume desk.

Week 1

Configure one live requisition, supervised

We build the campaign against your job, link an assessment, and set every stage to manual review. You see each score before anyone advances.

Week 2–3

Calibrate thresholds against your own hires

Compare agent scores to the calls your recruiters made on the same candidates. Set auto-pass where the two agree; leave the grey band for review.

Month 2

Turn on auto-advance, clone across the function

Duplicate the working campaign for adjacent roles. Recruiters move from chasing candidates to reviewing a queue that is already sorted.

Month 3

Run the volume drive end to end

Autonomous to shortlist on high-volume roles, with the funnel view as your control panel and the audit trail as your defence.

A campaign built from an existing job and assessment is a same-day exercise. Your first live requisition runs inside a week.
Questions we get asked

The things HR teams ask before they run a pilot.

Does the AI reject candidates?

Only if you switch auto-reject on, at a threshold you set. Default behaviour is to score and queue for review.

Do we have to use all four stages?

No. Run any subset in any order. Many teams start with telescreen only, then add assessment and video.

Does it replace our ATS?

No. It runs the evaluation layer and writes results back. Live with PeopleStrong, Quess, TurboHire, Zwayam, apna and others.

How long does setup take?

A campaign built from an existing job and assessment is a same-day exercise. Your first live requisition runs inside a week.

How do we defend a decision?

Each stage score traces to a question, a weight, a recording and a threshold, timestamped on the candidate's log.

Can candidates game the AI?

18 proctoring signals per session produce a trust score and violation log, and every answer stays on record for replay.

What if a hiring manager disagrees?

Open the recording, replay the answer, adjust the weighting and resync the score. Overrides are logged against the user.

What about candidates without smartphones?

The telescreen is a phone call. Assessment and video need a browser; SMS and WhatsApp reach candidates who ignore email.

Who owns the candidate data?

You do. Data is held under DPDP and GDPR terms, retention is configurable, and candidates can be purged on request.

What does it cost to try?

A free pilot on ten candidates — one open role, all five stages, no licence and no commitment.

Run one live requisition through it.

We configure the campaign against your job, push your next batch of applicants through all five stages, and hand you the ranked shortlist alongside your current process. Compare the two on time and on quality. Or start with a free pilot on 10 candidates — no licence, no commitment.
