FAQs

What makes Winston Chat different from traditional recruiting chatbots?

Most traditional chatbots are ‘rule-based’ relying on predefined scripts and keyword matching to respond to candidate questions often leading to frustrating dead ends or repetitive loops when questions fall outside the script.

Winston Chat is powered by advanced generative AI. Instead of pulling from a limited library, it dynamically generates responses based on your career site and knowledge base. The result? A more flexible, human-like experience that not only answers questions but also recommends jobs, screens candidates, and schedules interviews — all without leaving the chat!

How do recruiting chatbots and hiring agents improve candidate experience?

Recruiting chatbots and hiring agents provide real-time, personalized interactions with candidates, making the hiring process faster and more engaging. They answer questions instantly, guide candidates through applications, recommend relevant jobs, and schedule interviews. By being available 24/7 and offering a seamless, efficient experience, they reduce friction and keep candidates engaged from application to offer.

What tasks can recruiting chatbots and hiring agents automate?

  • Answering FAQs: Provide instant responses to common candidate questions.
  • Job recommendations: Suggest relevant job openings based on candidate preferences and qualifications.
  • Pre-screening candidates: Automatically assess resumes and applications based on set criteria.
  • Scheduling interviews: Automatically book interview times and send reminders.
  • Candidate engagement: Send personalized follow-ups and updates throughout the hiring process.
  • Data collection and analysis: Gather and analyze candidate data to improve recruitment strategies.

Is Winston Chat secure and compliant?

From our perspective, Winston Chat, like all SmartRecruiters products, is designed to meet compliance requirements under major frameworks when paired with the appropriate responsibilities and safeguards expected of AI deployers.
