Five ready-made agents for the calls recruiters make most

Most recruiting calls follow a pattern

A first screen, a call to fix an interview time, a check-in with a past applicant, a nudge on a pending offer. Each has its own shape, and each gets made hundreds of times. Scout ships an agent for each of them, so you start from a call that already works instead of a blank page.

The agents

• Phone Screening: screens an applicant against a job, covering experience, skills, notice, pay and work mode.
• Interview Scheduling: finds an interview slot that works for the candidate.
• Talent-Pool Re-engagement: checks whether a past applicant or sourced candidate is open to a new role.
• Offer Follow-up: checks in on a pending offer, surfaces blockers and hands over to a person when needed.
• Communication Interview: asks open-ended behavioural questions and scores how clearly the candidate communicates.

Make it yours

Starting from a ready-made agent makes a copy that belongs to your team. Change the questions, the order, the follow-ups, the voice and the language. Updates Scout makes to its own templates never change the agent you built.

You can also skip the editing and describe the changes out loud in Agent Studio. Either way, you can talk to the agent in your browser before it calls anyone.

The same rules in every agent

Every ready-made agent opens by saying it is an AI and asks whether it may record the call, and none of them rejects a candidate on its own. Customising an agent changes what it asks, not those rules.

Conclusion

A ready-made agent turns your first screening call into a ten-minute setup: pick the closest template, adjust it to the role, and try it before it goes live.
