Augusta's Ask AI feature lets you connect your Augusta recruiting reports to ChatGPT or Claude to better understand your hiring performance, identify recruiting bottlenecks, and discover opportunities to improve.

Instead of manually analyzing reports, you can ask AI questions about your recruiting data and receive insights to help your team make more informed decisions.

Whether you're trying to understand why applicants aren't booking interviews, identify trends in no-shows, or evaluate your hiring funnel, Ask AI helps you dig deeper into your Augusta data.

Questions You Can Ask AI

Not sure where to start? Here are a few examples of questions you can ask to better understand your recruiting performance.

Identify Bottlenecks in Your Hiring Funnel

Best for: Applicant Progress by Stage

• "Where are we losing the most applicants in our recruiting funnel?"
• "What percentage of our qualified applicants are booking interviews?"
• "Based on our hiring funnel, what should our recruiting team prioritize improving?"
• "Are we getting enough qualified applicants to support our hiring goals?"

Improve Interview Attendance

Best for: Interview Activity Trends

• "What is our interview show-up rate, and how has it changed over time?"
• "Are cancellations or no-shows becoming a bigger issue?"
• "What trends should our recruiting team investigate to improve interview attendance?"

Evaluate Recruiting Sources

Best for: Hire Data by Source

• "Which recruiting sources are generating the most hires?"
• "Which sources have the highest applicant-to-hire conversion rate?"
• "Are there recruiting sources generating high applicant volume but relatively few hires?"

Tip: Don't stop at your first question! Ask follow-up questions, request comparisons, or ask AI to explain its findings in simpler terms.

For example, after identifying a low interview booking rate, you might ask:

"What are some practical steps our recruiting team could take to improve this?"

Important Things to Know

• Your AI account: Ask AI uses your own ChatGPT or Claude account. You may need to sign in or create an account with your preferred provider.
• Read-only access: The integration allows AI to review Augusta reporting data. It cannot make changes to your applicants or dashboard.
• Reporting data only: Ask AI currently analyzes Augusta reports, not individual applicant profiles, screening answers, or recruiter notes.
• Accurate reporting matters: Keep applicant statuses, interview outcomes, and hiring records up to date so your AI analysis reflects your recruiting performance.
• AI provides insights, not guarantees: Use AI findings to guide further investigation and recruiting decisions. Always consider your agency's actual hiring processes and goals.
