The purpose built agentic stackfor retail volume hiring

Every hiring process is different, and so is our solution. We select, train and embed Carv’s agents based on what your organization needs to excel.

Host agent

Carv’s Host Agent is your always-on front door for candidates, engaging them the moment they enter your funnel. It answers questions, clarifies intent, and guides each candidate to the right next step such as starting pre-screening or exploring a relevant role. By capturing attention early and removing friction, it keeps candidates moving and reduces drop-off before a recruiter gets involved.

Screening agent

Carv’s Screening Agent confirms early whether a candidate can realistically do the job. It gathers the key information recruiters actually need up front, such as availability, eligibility, location, shift preferences, and dealbreakers, and delivers a clear outcome on whether someone should move forward. This ensures only viable candidates enter the pipeline and eliminates wasted recruiter time on applicants who cannot take the role.

Scoring agent

Carv's scoring agent evaluates candidate competencies against the specific requirements of each role through live and asynchronous interactions. The result is a dynamic confidence score that helps hiring teams make faster, smarter, and more consistent hiring decisions.Scoring happens automatically in the background, with insights surfaced directly within the recruiter’s existing workflow, giving teams instant visibility into candidate fit at every stage of the hiring process.

Scheduling agent

Carv’s Scheduling Agent books interviews and next steps by coordinating availability between candidates and hiring teams. This removes back-and-forth, speeds up progression, and keeps the hiring process moving.

Re-scheduling agent

Carv’s Rescheduling Agent automatically coordinates interview changes between candidates and hiring teams when plans shift. By handling availability updates and calendar coordination in real time, it eliminates manual back-and-forth, minimizes delays, and keeps the hiring process moving smoothly.

Re-activation agent

Rediscovery agent

Carv’s Talentpool Rediscovery Agent automatically surfaces the most relevant candidates from your existing talent pools as soon as a vacancy opens. This reduces time-to-fill and turns your database into an always-on source of ready-to-contact talent.

Re-assignment agent

Carv’s Re-Assignment Agent engages candidates as assignments or contracts end, checks availability, and captures updated preferences. This reduces talent leakage and speeds up redeployment into new roles.

Talentpool maintenance agent

Carv’s Talentpool Maintenance Agent periodically reconnects with candidates to confirm availability, update profiles, and validate interest. This keeps your talent pools current and ready for fast activation when demand arises.

Custom agent

Every hiring process is different. We can design and configure custom agents around your unique requirements, processes, and business rules. From industry-specific hiring flows to bespoke operational tasks, Carv's agents can be tailored to execute the work that matters most to your organization.

Hire hundreds at retail speed
