USE CASE · RECRUITING

Build a recruiting agent that coordinates candidates by email

e2a helps developers build recruiting agents that receive candidate email, connect it to hiring workflow context, coordinate interviews, and hold sensitive or high-impact messages for human approval.

THE WORKFLOW

What the agent does

  1. 01A candidate replies to a recruiter or sends a hiring question.
  2. 02e2a delivers the message with structured authentication evidence.
  3. 03The agent retrieves the candidate, role, and hiring-stage context.
  4. 04It answers routine questions or proposes interview times.
  5. 05Rejections, offers, and sensitive updates wait for human approval.
  6. 06The agent follows up in the same conversation and updates the hiring system.

WHY E2A

  • ✓Dedicated inboxes for recruiting or coordination agents
  • ✓Threaded candidate conversations with application-owned state
  • ✓MCP, SDK, webhook, WebSocket, or REST delivery
  • ✓Integration with ATS, calendar, and hiring workflow APIs
  • ✓Human approval for high-impact candidate communication

START BUILDING

The integration stays small

Scheduling agent workflow ↗
event = await client.inbound.next("[email protected]")
candidate = await ats.lookup(event.data["header_from"])
reply = await recruiting_agent.run(
    candidate=candidate,
    message=event.data["text"],
    conversation_id=event.data["conversation_id"],
)
await client.messages.reply(
    event.data["delivered_to"],
    event.data["message_id"],
    {"text": reply},
)

The agent owns the business logic. e2a handles the email identity, delivery, authentication evidence, and reply routing.

FAQ

What can a recruiting agent do with email?

A recruiting agent can answer candidate questions, coordinate interviews, send reminders and updates, collect information, and keep hiring conversations connected to the recruiting system.

Can a recruiting agent schedule interviews?

Yes. A recruiting agent can coordinate availability through email and connect to a calendar or scheduling API, while e2a handles the inbox, delivery, and threaded replies.

Can humans approve recruiting messages?

Yes. Enable e2a's human-in-the-loop approval gate for high-impact communications such as rejections, offers, or messages to unfamiliar recipients.

Can candidate data stay in our own systems?

Yes. The agent can retrieve hiring context from your ATS and application systems; e2a provides the email transport and conversation context rather than replacing those systems.
