In practice

What comes in to recruiters — and what Slimbot does

  1. "Is the vacancy for <functie> still open?"

    Reply from your own vacancy text; the assistant asks directly about availability and experience.

  2. "Here is my CV."

    File on the customer card; the recruiter sees that a profile has been submitted.

  3. "May I reschedule my interview?"

    Offer new slots from the calendar and update the appointment.

  4. "I haven't heard anything after my interview."

    A question that often comes up. The assistant prepares it for the recruiter, who follows up themselves.

  5. "A company is looking for staff."

    Assignment intake: role, region and start date are requested and go to your account manager.

Ask a question as a customer of a recruitment agency

Choose a question and see how the assistant responds. These are pre-written example answers (not live AI). In your own account, the assistant bases itself on your own data, and you decide whether an answer goes automatically or for approval first.

Features

What you get

Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.

Initial questions to candidates

Availability, place of residence, experience in brief and a CV: the assistant asks for it and adds it to the profile. The selection remains with you.

Candidate and vacancy matched

Per person on the customer card: which vacancy they responded to, which conversations and what you agreed.

Schedule conversations

Offer available slots from the connected calendar, with a reminder or video link.

Follow up without searching

A reminder or draft follow-up to those who still need to hear, from your own number and approved by you.

Clients followed up separately

Questions from companies with a vacancy come in separately and go to the account manager.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the assistant select candidates?
No. The assistant collects basic information and answers practical questions. Who gets invited, who gets put forward and who doesn't, is decided by a recruiter. The assistant does not assess or rank anyone.
Can candidates send their CV via WhatsApp?
Yes, as an attachment in the conversation or by e-mail. The file arrives on that person's customer card.
What about candidates' personal data?
Slimbot runs on Dutch servers and we work in accordance with GDPR. You decide who in the team sees which conversations. How long you keep data is determined by your own policy.
Is Slimbot an ATS?
No. Slimbot handles contact with candidates and clients and the scheduling of conversations. You can continue to record your complete recruitment process in your own system.
Can we also approach companies that are not yet customers?
Slimbot does not send messages to people who haven't sought contact. Campaigns and reminders go to contacts you're already in conversation with, as you set them up.
What does it cost?
You start with a free account without a credit card and cancel monthly. The current prices are on the pricing page.
