Introduction

Hamrr is an AI recruiting workspace that helps recruiters work their live pipeline: follow up, review pipeline health, and keep candidate work moving from one place.

Instead of clicking through multiple dashboards, you describe the recruiting outcome you want in plain English. Hamrr reads the context it has, does the desk work, and shows you what it found before anything important is sent or changed.

What Hamrr does

• Work the pipeline you already have — search across your recruiting data and surface the candidates already in it who are worth another look.
• Keep follow-ups moving — spot silent candidates, missing feedback, and stalled roles before they become problems.
• Draft the next action — prepare outreach, notes, summaries, and follow-up plans for recruiter approval.
• Take work off you when you're ready — hand over one category at a time in Autonomy, and Hamrr stops asking for that category.
• Show its work — every run is visible step by step, so you can see what Hamrr did and where it needs your input.

How this docs site is organised

The left sidebar groups topics by area. Start with Quick Start if you're new, then explore sections as you need them. Each section is self-contained — you can jump directly to Integrations or Settings without reading everything in order.

Quick Start

Get from sign-up to your first useful result without needing a setup guide.

1. Connect your ATS
   Open Connectors and connect the recruiting tools your team uses. Once connected, Hamrr can use that context when you ask it questions.
2. Sign in
   Signing in opens the desk — your ranked worklist of what needs you today. The chat panel sits alongside it for asking questions and reviewing answers.
3. Send your first message
   Try something like: "Which of my candidates have gone quiet this week?" Hamrr will explain what it found and suggest the next step.

Example queries to try

• "Show me Product Manager candidates in London who are worth re-engaging."
• "Which open roles need attention before the end of the week?"
• "Draft follow-ups for candidates who have gone quiet after final interview."
• "Which roles are running thin on candidates right now?"

Core Concepts

A few ideas make Hamrr easier to use day to day.

The Agent

An agent is a recruiting assistant that can do multi-step work. You give it an outcome, such as finding candidates or preparing follow-ups, and it works through the necessary recruiting context.

Connectors

Connectors are the systems Hamrr can work with, such as your ATS, email, calendar, WhatsApp, or team tools. You do not need to choose the behind-the-scenes action; Hamrr uses the right connected source for the task.

Autonomy

Work that sends a message or changes a record is grouped into four categories, each with its own switch on the desk's Autonomy panel. A category set to ask me drafts the work and waits for you; set to auto, Hamrr does it without asking and files a receipt. They're listed mildest first:

Done automatically

Every action Hamrr takes unattended is recorded with its full content — recipient, subject and message — so you can see exactly what went out in your name. The category switches name categories; this log names the individual things that happened, so the two can never be confused.

Today, Radar & By Role

The desk is the screen you land on when you sign in. It's a ranked worklist of what needs you today, across every role you're working — not a dashboard you have to interpret.

The desk is deliberately read-only: it shows you what needs doing, but every row links you into the hub where you actually do it. There are three ways to look at the same worklist, switched with the toggle at the top:

Where the work comes from

A background scan reads your connected ATS and Hamrr's own memory of your pipeline, then surfaces what actually needs a human: a reply to review, a chase overdue, a pipeline running thin, an interview to book. Anything actionable is drafted before you're asked — so most of the desk is review and approve, not find and compose.

The Five Hubs

The desk points at the work; the hubs are where you actually do it. Every hub shares the same layout — a tab strip with a count and an amber dot for anything waiting on you, a list of pending approvals, and a log of what ran automatically.

Approvals & Autonomy

Anything that would send a message or change a record pauses for your approval by default, in every hub that produces it.

Reviewing an approval

An approval card shows exactly what's about to happen — for an email, the recipient, subject and body, all editable before you send. The button is named for the action it takes (Send email, Schedule), not a generic "Approve", so you always know what pressing it will do.

Handing a category over

Turning one of the four Autonomy categories to auto (see Core Concepts) stops Hamrr asking for that category specifically — nothing else changes. A confirmation dialog names exactly what it will start doing before it takes effect, and switching back to ask me is instant.

Today's log

A drawer in the app header lists everything Hamrr has produced across every hub recently — both what it sent unattended and what you approved yourself — so you can always see the full picture in one place, not five.

Insights

A step back from the day-to-day worklist: how your desk is trending, and what's worth doing beyond today.

• Desk score — a single number summarising the health of your pipeline.
• Action plan — findings grouped into Do Today, This Week, and When You Have Focus Time, so longer-term work doesn't get lost under the daily list.
• KPI dashboard — five benchmarked metrics: time to fill, time to first interview, offer acceptance, response rate, and data completeness.

How It Works

Hamrr breaks your request into visible steps so you can understand the work without needing to understand the system behind it.

The work behind each answer

Context-aware follow-ups

You can use natural follow-ups like "do that for the London role" or "make the tone warmer". Hamrr uses the conversation context so you do not need to repeat the whole brief.

Live progress updates

While the agent works, you will see plain-English updates like "checking applications", "drafting follow-ups", or "waiting for your input."

Multi-Step Work

Some recruiting requests need more than one step. Hamrr handles that sequence for you and keeps the progress visible.

When extra steps happen

Most simple questions get answered quickly. Longer recruiting tasks may require several checks before the final answer is useful. For example:

• You ask for a shortlist, so Hamrr reviews the role, checks candidates, and explains why the strongest profiles fit.
• You ask for follow-ups, so Hamrr checks recent activity, decides who needs attention, and drafts messages for review.
• You ask for interview prep, so Hamrr gathers candidate context and turns it into a manager-ready summary.

Each major step is shown as it happens, so the work does not feel like a black box.

Working Across Sources

Hamrr can use several connected sources in one request, which helps recruiters avoid tab switching and copy-paste work.

What this means in practice

• ATS context — candidates, applications, jobs, stages, notes, and interview history can be brought into one answer.
• Productivity context — email, calendar, WhatsApp, Slack, and Teams help Hamrr prepare actions in the channels recruiters already use.
• Recruiter control — Hamrr can draft and recommend, while you stay in control of approvals and important changes.

Memory & Context

Hamrr is designed to remember useful recruiting context so it can build on what you already told it.

Chat & Slash Commands

The desk is where you work the ranked list; the chat panel sits alongside it for asking questions, running a quick command, and reviewing answers. Free-form natural language, multi-step instructions and follow-up questions all work here.

Slash commands

For common one-off requests, a slash command opens a typed mini-form instead of you writing a message from scratch: /compare, /notes, /risk, /score, /pipeline, /schedule, /intake, /prep-pack, /cv-check and /dormant.

Writing effective messages

• Be specific about what you want — "show the React Engineer candidates stuck at interview stage for over 10 days" is better than "show stuck candidates".
• Chain instructions in one message — the agent processes them in order: "review the shortlist, summarise the top 5, then email me a CSV."
• Use follow-ups freely — "sort those by seniority" or "do the same for the London office" work without restating context.

Response format

Hamrr returns answers in recruiter-friendly formats: shortlists, action plans, message drafts, summaries, and downloadable reports when useful.

Connecting Your ATS

• Shortlist summaries — useful when sending hiring managers a cleaner view of top candidates.

Accessing reports

Reports appear with the response that produced them, ready to download or share.

Account Setup

Account configuration lives in two places: Connectors for the systems Hamrr reads and writes, and the {Your name}'s desk menu in the top bar for everything else.

Where to find each setting

Connector Access

Connector access controls which recruiting systems Hamrr can read from and write to. The setup flow is guided, and your team can remove a connection later if needed.

Common connector types

Changing access

To change or remove a connection, open Connectors, choose the connected system, and follow the prompts.
