Meet Fly: the recruiting agent inside Recruitifly

Fly is the recruiting agent built into Recruitifly. It is one assistant across the whole platform rather than a separate widget per screen: you ask for something in plain language, Fly plans the steps and prepares the work, and every change waits for your confirmation before it happens. The working rule is collaboration, not autonomy. You ask, it does; it suggests, you decide.

Fair warning: this is the product post. For the vendor-neutral version of what an agent inside an ATS even means, start with what an agentic ATS is. This piece is about what that idea looks like once you log in.

What does Fly do on each screen?

Most assistant features in this market are per-page copilots: a draft button on the job form, a summarise button on the profile. Greenhouse, Workable and Teamtailor all ship genuinely useful versions of that, as our survey of which ATSes have a built-in assistant found. Fly takes the other route: one agent that follows you across the platform, so the help changes with the screen but the assistant, its memory and its rules do not.

The point of one agent instead of ten features is continuity. “Build a shortlist for the Utrecht role” can be followed by “draft outreach for the top three” and then “find slots next week”, and Fly carries the context through the chain. Each step that writes anything still arrives as its own proposal.

Why does every write wait for your confirm?

Because Fly is deliberately not autonomous. Questions cost you nothing to ask and come back as answers: pipeline status, searches, comparisons, reports. The moment a request would change data or reach a candidate, Fly stages it as a proposal card instead. You see exactly what will happen, in full, then approve or cancel. There is no setting that turns this off.

We consider that the correct design, not a limitation waiting to be lifted. The practical argument: agents make confident mistakes, and a review step turns those from incidents into edits. A wrong name in a draft you skim is a ten-second fix; a wrong name in a message that sent itself is a reputation problem. The legal argument: the EU AI Act classifies hiring AI as high-risk and attaches human oversight duties, and GDPR protects candidates from purely automated decisions with significant effects. The longer case is in should an ATS assistant act without approval, and our dissection of “fully agentic” marketing explains why we think unsupervised execution in hiring is a liability dressed up as a feature.

What does a goal in plain language look like?

Fly takes goals, not just commands. “Get the strongest three applicants for the support role moving toward interviews this week” comes back as a plan: a ranked shortlist with visible reasoning, drafted invitations, proposed slots. You skim, adjust, confirm the parts you like and cancel the rest. The collaboration runs the other way too: after finishing a task Fly will offer the obvious next step, and an offer is all it stays until you say yes.

Two honest notes. Plain language has limits: a vague goal earns a clarifying question, not a heroic guess. And Fly is built for the work around a decision, never the decision itself. Final calls, offers, and any late-stage rejection a candidate deserves to hear from a person stay with you; we keep a fuller map in recruitment tasks that should stay human.

Can you reach Fly outside the app?

From the Pro tier, Fly also answers on Slack and Telegram, with WhatsApp available as an add-on. It is the same agent under the same rules: ask for a pipeline status from your phone, get the answer in the thread, and anything that writes still arrives as a proposal you explicitly confirm. For recruiters who live between meetings, this turns dead minutes into approvals instead of another login.

How is Fly metered?

In Actions. One Action is one completed Fly task, whether that is a parsed CV, a built shortlist or a booked interview. Every tier includes a monthly allowance: the Freelancer tier at EUR 70 per month includes 150 Actions, and Pro at EUR 250 includes 600. Jobs and postings are unlimited on every tier, so the meter sits on the agent’s work, never on your data. Current numbers for all tiers, including Agency and Enterprise, live on the pricing page.

The candid framing: Actions are a usage meter, so the value depends on actually delegating. A recruiter who hands Fly the parsing, drafting, posting and scheduling gets hours back every week. One who prefers to click through every step personally is paying for an agent they ignore, and a simpler tool might serve them fine.

The fine print

Recruitifly is in private beta, and we are onboarding teams deliberately rather than throwing the doors open. Everything above is how Fly works today, but the fairest test is your own: paid tiers carry a 7-day free trial, so talk to us, bring a live role, and make Fly earn every confirm click before you take our word for any of it.
