The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

Your agent handles the entry work so your database stays current.

DATABASE

New applicant records

The agent uses the create_applicant tool to write details into Flatwork. You get a fresh candidate profile immediately.

ACCURACY

Clean data entry

Your agent maps chat text to the right fields. This prevents the typos and formatting errors that come with manual typing.

CONTROL

Human review required

The agent won't add anyone without your prompt. You stay in charge of which candidates actually enter the system.

EFFICIENCY

Zero manual typing

You skip the tedious task of copying and pasting from emails or resumes. The agent does the heavy lifting for you.
