Research dated 2026-09-05. Business value remains unmeasured. Software descriptions are documented capabilities; each project must verify fit, rights and outcomes before adoption.
United States research pilot; client, state and local employment requirements require authorized review.
What the evidence supports
O*NET describes human-resources-specialist tasks including recruiting, screening and interviewing applicants. NIST's AI Risk Management Framework and the EEOC's employment-AI materials support risk identification, documentation and human oversight; the EEOC page was inaccessible in this run and is not used as supporting evidence. No independently verified percentage of recruiting work automated is established.

Processes to test
Client requisition intake and completeness review
Normalize supplied role, location, schedule and authorization fields; flag missing or inconsistent inputs; do not approve a requisition, infer protected traits or invent requirements.
- Measure
- Net human minutes per complete, approved requisition, including exceptions and rework
- Reject the idea if
- Reject if material role constraints are silently altered, privacy-sensitive fields are collected without purpose, or total reviewed effort does not fall.
- Human authority
- Authorized account/recruiting lead approves role requirements, client commitments and lawful data collection.
[onet-hr] [greenhouse] [repo-surveyjs]
Candidate sourcing, screening coordination and interview scheduling
Deduplicate supplied records, route approved outreach drafts and offer available interview slots; do not rank, reject, infer protected characteristics or make an employment recommendation.
- Measure
- Net human minutes per correctly scheduled, consent-respecting interview; duplicate/misroute and accommodation exceptions
- Reject the idea if
- Reject if an unauthorized or stale message is sent, candidate availability/accommodation is mishandled, or an automated screen changes access to a human review.
- Human authority
- Recruiter and client hiring authority control sourcing criteria, screening, accommodation and selection decisions.

Interview feedback collection and evidence-linked review
Collect structured feedback against approved rubrics, show missing fields and preserve provenance; do not convert text into a score or disposition without authorized review.
- Measure
- Reviewer minutes per complete feedback packet; correction rate and permission/privacy exceptions
- Reject the idea if
- Reject if ungrounded inferences, disparate error patterns, unauthorized access or missing reviewer acknowledgement survive the workflow.
- Human authority
- Named recruiter and hiring panel retain interpretation, disposition and employment-decision authority.
[nist-ai-rmf] [greenhouse] [repo-surveyjs]
Client/candidate status updates and placement follow-up
Draft status updates from current approved records, surface missing placement milestones and schedule reminders; require review before external sends and keep payroll/contract authority upstream.
- Measure
- Net human minutes per accurate approved update, including retries, opt-outs and exception review
- Reject the idea if
- Reject if stale or unauthorized status is sent, recipients cross candidate/client boundaries, duplicate reminders occur, or the process bypasses employment/contract authority.
- Human authority
- Recruiting/account lead controls recipient, content, candidate status, placement and client communication decisions.

Reusable code candidates
activepieces/activepieces
Reusable connectors and governed workflow execution suitable for draft notifications, reminders and status synchronization.
- Possible reuse
- Allowlisted, idempotent coordination workflows with human approval before external writes; never an employment-decision engine.
- Limits
- Connector availability does not prove candidate consent, retry safety, ATS permissions, privacy controls or lawful selection.
- Rights
- Upstream repository and edition/license boundary require route-specific review before reuse.

Revision: unverified
calcom/cal.diy
Booking, availability and routing workflows useful for recruiter-screen and interview scheduling.
- Possible reuse
- Reference-only scheduling pattern; reject production staffing adoption under the current upstream warning.
- Limits
- Pinned upstream README recommends personal, non-production use and removes Teams, Organizations, Workflows and SSO. This does not qualify for production staffing. Availability correctness, accommodations, consent and ATS integration remain unproved.
- Rights
- Upstream repository and Community/enterprise feature boundary require route-specific review.
[repo-calcom]
Revision: abffde336e744e15cf69626c10e436d6172bc406
surveyjs/survey-library
Schema-driven forms and structured responses useful for requisition intake, interview feedback and candidate consent capture.
- Possible reuse
- Owned form layer for approved fields and versioned responses; keep candidate and hiring records under the selected system of record.
- Limits
- Forms do not establish data minimization, retention, accessibility, fairness or authorization policy.
- Rights
- Upstream library and separate commercial products must be reviewed before adopting a distribution path.

Business value and a falsifiable pilot
No client baseline, measured trial, price, staffing cost or outcome evidence was supplied; released time is not counted as cash.
Run a time-boxed, read/draft-only pilot on a matched sample of requisitions and interviews with synthetic or consented records. Compare incumbent and pilot net human effort, review/rework, exceptions, permission/privacy incidents, accessibility accommodations and decision-authority checkpoints.
- any unauthorized employment recommendation or disposition
- critical privacy, permission or accommodation failure
- no net effort reduction after review/rework
- unsupported claim of cash savings or automation percentage
Read the shared value modelLimits
- EEOC employment-AI page returned 403 during retrieval and is not used as evidence.
- No candidate, client, placement, compensation or selection records were accessed.
- Vendor pages and GitHub READMEs establish advertised/project capability only, not adoption, fairness, accuracy, price or savings.
- No recruiting-agency baseline, measured trial, state/local law review or accessibility evaluation is included.
- All module revisions are unverified; no module was executed or deployed.
