01 / Start with your criteria

Teach it what
a good match means.

Define the role with Deep Search, review the trade-offs, and refine the criteria. Autopilot applies that calibration as it reviews matches, rather than treating every profile the same.

  • Make must-haves and preferences explicit
  • Use review feedback to refine the search
  • Keep the role criteria visible

02 / You set the boundaries

Let the review keep moving.
Keep the controls close.

Autopilot handles repetitive candidate review. You choose the target, inspect the decisions, and adjust the approach when the role changes.

Set the target

Choose the number of candidates you want moved to Outreach in the available Autopilot workflow. Track added and skipped candidates as it runs.

Stop and refine

Stop Autopilot, adjust the search, and restart when you’re ready. Review added and skipped candidates and change those review decisions yourself.

Inspect the reasoning

Match Card History records outreach, approve, skip, and needs-review actions, with reasoning for agent decisions. Keep that review history separate from the wider candidate journey.

03 / Evidence before the next step

Review the match.
Not just the label.

See the candidate’s background, role evidence, and available actions together. Use the shortlist for another look or a teammate’s input before deciding who should enter outreach.

  • Review the evidence behind the assessment
  • Keep shortlist and outreach distinct
  • Revisit review decisions when needed

Shortlisting alone does not send outreach or push a candidate to an external ATS. A match assessment supports your review, not a final hiring decision.

04 / From review to conversation

A clear handoff.
Not a disconnected list.

Move suitable candidates into personalized email outreach and follow-ups. Handle replies in the same recruiting platform, with native ATS and CRM tracking or a supported external ATS connection.

Recruiters launch LinkedIn campaigns through their own connected accounts and licences. AI calling and First Interview availability depends on account access, candidate market, and supported format.

Review the shortlist

Check fit and decide which candidates should move forward.

Start the conversation

Personalized email and follow-ups, with the channels your team configures.

Keep the candidate context

Track activity in Perfect’s native ATS and CRM, or a supported external connection.

Workflow overview, not a literal product screenshot. External sync follows the configured connection scope.

Plan toward the outcome

A hiring goal.
A plan you can adjust.

Set the interview goal and timing. Perfect calculates a sourcing and outreach plan and shows funnel progress. Edit the plan as conditions change; candidate responses and your hiring process determine the outcome.

Autopilot, clearly explained.

How do Deep Search and Autopilot work together?

Deep Search helps define the role, resolve trade-offs and calibrate the search. Autopilot uses those criteria and decisions to review matches and shortlist or skip candidates. Your team can inspect the actions and reasoning.

Can I stop Autopilot or change a decision?

Yes. You can stop it, inspect added and skipped candidates, and change review decisions. Adjust the search and restart when you’re ready. Changing a review decision is not the same as recalling a message that has already been sent.

Does shortlisting automatically send outreach?

No. Shortlist is separate from Added to Outreach. Shortlisting alone does not send a message or push a candidate to an external ATS. Autopilot’s add-to-Outreach workflow and the configured outreach sequence are separate steps.

Do I need to replace my ATS?

No. Use Perfect’s native ATS and CRM, or connect a supported external ATS. Confirm the available connector, required access and configured sync scope for your existing system.

Is Autopilot an extra paid add-on?

No. The current offer is $300 per open position per month, all included, with unlimited seats. Technical account, market and format availability for calling and First Interview is separate from pricing.
