Screen forty applicants before lunch
A companion opens every profile and CV, scores against your rubric, drafts the notes and stages the ATS updates for one click. Sourcing, scheduling and interview notes are separate jobs.
Strawberry publishes this guide and builds the agentic browser in it, which is why the screening and ATS sections are the specific ones. Hand a companion forty applicants and your rubric and you get back a ranked list, drafted screening notes and the ATS updates staged for one click. Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable and Teamtailor sit among 93 native integrations.
Your week splits into work that needs judgment and work that needs stamina. AI helps with the second, and the market has specialised job by job. Here is what each kind of tool was built to do.
What is each recruiting tool built for?
As of this writing:
- LinkedIn Recruiter is the network itself. A companion drives it in your own signed-in session rather than replacing it.
- A dedicated notetaker is built for capture fidelity on a live call. Fireflies is a native integration, so a companion pulls the transcript straight out of it; Strawberry also records and transcribes meetings itself, on Meet, Zoom, Teams and in person.
- Calendly and Cal.com are built around the booking link. Both are native integrations, so a companion can hold the back-and-forth a bare link cannot.
- An agentic browser is built for screening at volume, ATS hygiene and sourcing execution, because that work spans LinkedIn, the ATS and email in one logged-in session.
- Any frontier chat model writes one good outreach message. Personalising and sending fifty is execution work, which is where a companion picks it up.
What does a companion actually do for a recruiter?
Take screening. Forty applicants, one rubric. A companion opens each profile and CV in your session, scores against the rubric you wrote, drafts the screening note in your voice, and stages the ATS updates. Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable and Teamtailor are native integrations, so the write goes through tools rather than fragile clicking. You review the top ten instead of reading forty. The pattern is at how to automate candidate screening.
Sourcing is the same shape: turn a job description into a search plan, run the passes, log candidates with evidence. See source candidates faster. ATS hygiene becomes a weekly routine: stale stages flagged, missing feedback chased, records reconciled. See keep your ATS up to date.
What stays with you
Rejections and offers.
A companion drafts a kind, specific rejection, and the send belongs to a person, both for the candidate and for your reputation on the days a draft misses. Approval cards make that the default: outbound messages stop for review before they go.
The workflows sit at automate recruiting outreach sequences and automate candidate rejection emails kindly, and the persona view is at AI for recruiters.
