Short answer

How can I track my hiring pipeline with AI?

Your agent uses the applicants tool to pull live data from UKG Ready. You can ask for specific counts for a job or check where a candidate is in the process. This gives you a clear view of your hiring funnel without logging into the HRIS manually.
