A recruiter approves the send before the bot moves candidates to Reached Out and watches for replies. [Grok Bot](https://www.automaticcompany.co/use-cases/agent/grok-bot/) Added Oct 12, 2026 ## What they did Another bot in the xAI recruiting guide, Scout, reads scorecards and resumes across hundreds of past hired and rejected candidates to learn what worked. It then sources new candidates overnight, adds them to the applicant tracking system as leads and drafts multi-touch outreach sequences. ## How it went The maker says A shortlist is ready when recruiters open their laptops. After a recruiter approves the send, the bot moves candidates to the Reached Out stage and watches for replies. ## Good to know No numbers on quality of hire, response rates or bias checks are given. Training on past hiring decisions can repeat old biases, so the shortlist needs human review. ## A prompt to try Study the profiles and scorecards of people we hired and rejected for in and summarize what the strong hires had in common. Overnight, find up to new candidates who match, add them as leads with a one-line reason each, and draft a three-step outreach sequence for each. Do not send anything until I approve the list and the messages. ## Source [x.ai](https://x.ai/bot/guides/grok-bot-for-recruiting) · published Sep 24, 2026 · checked Oct 12, 2026 Runs on [Grok Bot](https://www.automaticcompany.co/platforms/grok-bot/). ## Want this running for you?
