Recruiters live in email, calendars and an applicant tracking system, and they repeat the same steps dozens of times a day. That makes recruiting one of the most natural places for a homemade AI helper. It also means the helper touches personal information about candidates, so sharing it has to be done carefully.
Common workflows
Personalised candidate outreach
Reads a job description and a candidate profile, and writes a short, specific first message in your drafts.
TriggerA candidate is shortlisted
ReadsThe job spec and their profile

PreparesA first message, from your mailbox

Cresec handles the plumbingSign-in as each personTheir own accessDrafts firstA record of every action
Apps it uses: Applicant tracking system (like Greenhouse or Lever), Email
Why it's hard to share today: Outreach has to come from the recruiter's own mailbox, not from one shared account.
Interview scheduling helper
Looks at the interview panel's calendars, suggests times, and drafts the invitation for the candidate.
Apps it uses: Calendar, Email, Applicant tracking system
Why it's hard to share today: It needs to read other people's calendars, which only works cleanly when each person connects their own.
Weekly pipeline summary for hiring managers
Every Friday, summarises where each candidate is for a role and what is stuck, and drafts the update to the hiring manager.
Apps it uses: Applicant tracking system, Email or chat
Why it's hard to share today: Hiring managers should only see the roles they own.
Interview feedback reminders
Finds interviews with no written feedback after a day and drafts a friendly nudge to the interviewer.
Apps it uses: Applicant tracking system, Chat (like Slack or Teams)
Why it's hard to share today: Nudges should come from the recruiter, and the tool should not be able to read everyone's messages.
You bring the logic. Cresec does the rest.
Your name on it. You're recorded as the builder of every version, and you can see how far it spreads.
Everyone is themselves. People sign in with their company account and connect their own apps once.
No passwords in the tool. Nothing to leak, nothing to change when someone leaves.
Drafts first. New users can read and prepare drafts; sending is allowed per person, per tool.
A record of every action. Who did what, with which version of the tool, checkable by you at any time.
Common questions
Is it safe to use AI tools with candidate data?
It depends on who can see what. Cresec keeps each recruiter limited to the data they can already open, keeps a record of every action, and stores only a cleaned-up copy of each request rather than the full content.
Can each recruiter use the tool from their own mailbox?
Yes. Each recruiter connects their own email and applicant tracking system, so messages go out from them and they only see their own candidates.
What happens if a recruiter leaves?
Their access ends with their company account. The tool keeps working for everyone else, with nothing to change.
