Faster, Fairer Hiring: AI-Assisted Assessments, Human-Led Decisions

Hiring decisions are only as strong as the time and consistency behind them — and interviewers' time is often limited.

‍ClayHR’s AI-supported Candidate Assessment Agent helps by conducting an initial screening where each applicant responds to role-specific questions in a natural, conversational way (typed, or voice-based) directly through the candidate portal. AI organizes these responses into a clear performance summary and a match score, giving hiring teams structured insights. Human interviewers then step in to validate the results and make the final decision — combining AI efficiency with expert judgment for a faster, fairer evaluation.

Watch in Action

Keep Employee Data & Time Off in Sync with ClayHR–UKG Ready Integration

Managing employee data and time-off across multiple systems can often mean duplicate entries, inconsistencies, and wasted time.

‍With the ClayHR–UKG Ready integration, you can keep both systems in sync without manual effort. Your employee records automatically update from UKG Ready into ClayHR, while time-off requests you create in ClayHR seamlessly push back to UKG Ready. The result? Fewer errors, streamlined workflows, and a single source of truth across platforms — saving you hours of manual work and ensuring your employees’ data and leave balances stay accurate.

Turn Employee Feedback Into Measurable Growth With ClayHR Action Plans

Performance reviews should be more than a checkbox — they should lead to real growth.

‍With ClayHR’s Action Plans, you can create and assign personalized plans that align directly with employee goals and reviews. Add existing learnings to plans in one click, track progress automatically, and ensure accountability at every step. Managers gain powerful tools for follow-ups, while employees get clarity and direction. Together, you create a culture where performance feedback turns into measurable development.

Auto-Reassigned Candidate Forms: Less Admin Work, More Talent Focus

As a recruiter, nothing slows you down more than a rejected form that gets stuck and holds up your hiring process. With ClayHR’s latest update, rejected candidate forms are now automatically reassigned—just like employee forms. That means no chasing, no bottlenecks, and no wasted time. You keep candidates moving forward smoothly while staying focused on what matters most: hiring the right talent.

No More Manual Entry: Parse Resumes Automatically from Email

Forwarding resumes back and forth often means extra steps, missed updates, or manually entering candidate details into the system—slowing you down when speed matters most. With ClayHR’s new Inbound Email Integration for Resume Parsing, that hassle is gone. Simply CC or BCC a dedicated email address when sharing resumes, and the system will automatically create or update the candidate record for you. No more double work—just accurate, up-to-date profiles ready for faster hiring decisions.
