Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)1. Recruiter emails candidate to schedule phone screen: proposes 3-4 time slots. 2. Candidate responds with preferred time (1-2 day email lag). 3. Recruiter sends calendar invite with phone number or video link. 4. For onsite interviews: recruiter emails 4-6 interviewers proposing time slots. 5. 10-15 email exchanges to find time all interviewers available. 6. Recruiter manually books conference room, creates Zoom link. 7. Recruiter sends candidate interview schedule with names, times, video links. 8. Rescheduling requires repeating entire process. 9. Total coordination time: 2-3 days per candidate.

Agent automatically books conference room or generates Zoom/Teams video link. 6. Agent sends calendar invites to all interviewers with candidate profile, resume, interview questions. 7. Agent sends automated reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before interview. 8. If candidate requests reschedule: agent finds new time and updates all parties automatically. 9. Total scheduling time: <1 hour vs 2-3 days.
