What the AI HR Ops agent does
The people team's daily motion — handled with care, never on autopilot.
It clears the admin and the memory-load in your key HR processes so the team focuses on people. It assists; humans decide anything that affects a person.
Screen resumes against the role
Reads inbound applications, scores each CV against the job description and rubric, and ranks a shortlist with a plain-language summary of the fit.
Coordinate interview scheduling
Finds slots across interviewers and the candidate, drafts the invite and prep notes, and keeps the pipeline moving — you confirm before it books.
Draft candidate & employee comms
Writes personalized outreach, status updates, offers, and internal notes in your voice — reviewed by you before a single message is sent.
Build onboarding checklists
Assembles a new-hire checklist and preps the paperwork from your templates so day one is ready before the offer is even signed.
Answer policy & FAQ questions
Responds to handbook and policy questions from Slack or email with a sourced answer — reducing the reliance on someone remembering the rule.
Support headcount planning
Pulls open reqs, time-to-fill, and pipeline health into a planning digest so leadership decisions start from current numbers, not a stale spreadsheet.

Human approval boundary
It prepares the work. You decide what happens to a person.
HR is about people, and the agent knows it. It never sends, advances a candidate, or writes to the HRIS on its own unless you allow it. By default, anything affecting a person waits for you.

- Screens and ranks applicants against the role
- Answers policy and FAQ questions with sources
- Drafts candidate and employee comms
- Preps onboarding checklists and planning digests
Waits for your approval
- Sending anything to a candidate or employee
- Advancing or rejecting a candidate
- Writing changes back to the HRIS
- Committing any people decision
Use cases
Where people teams put the AI HR Ops agent to work.

Onboarding prep
Builds the checklist and preps new-hire paperwork from your templates so every start is ready before day one.

AI HR Ops vs an HR tool vs doing it manually
Not another ATS. A teammate that does the prep.
An ATS stores applicants and an HRIS stores records. A coordinator does the thinking but not at scale. An AI HR Ops agent does the screening, drafting, and prep — and stops at your approval line on anything affecting a person.

FAQ
Common questions about AI HR Ops.
What is an AI HR Ops agent?
An AI HR Ops agent handles the administrative and memory-heavy parts of people operations — screening applications against the role, drafting candidate and employee comms, building onboarding checklists, and answering policy questions from the handbook. Orchestra's agent is draft-first: it prepares the work and a human approves anything that reaches a person or writes to the HRIS, so the team is freed for strategic people work.
Does it make hiring decisions on its own?
No. The agent screens and ranks candidates against your rubric and summarizes the fit, but advancing, rejecting, or making any offer waits for a human. HR is about people — the agent clears the busywork and surfaces the shortlist; you decide who moves forward.
Will it send messages to candidates or employees without me?
Only if you let it. By default the agent drafts every candidate and employee message and waits for your approval before anything is sent. You set the boundary — fully review-first, or auto-send for specific low-risk, non-personal messages.
What does the AI HR Ops agent integrate with?
Greenhouse or Lever for your ATS, BambooHR or Workday for the HRIS, Notion or Google Workspace for your handbook and templates, Airtable for trackers, and Slack and Gmail for employee requests and comms. It reads your job descriptions and rubrics to screen and rank against the actual role.
Will it replace my HR team?
No. It removes the admin bottleneck — resume screening, comms drafting, onboarding prep, answering the same policy questions — so your people team spends time on strategy, culture, and the human conversations. Most teams use it to turn HR into a strategic enabler, not to cut headcount.
