Automating candidate information packs
A practical 8-page guide for recruiters who give a damn about candidate experience: three ways to automate candidate information packs, what goes in them, and how to choose your approach.
Recruiters spend too much time talking at candidates on first calls. Sourced candidates need more, and more relevant, context before they can even tell you whether they're interested. And most recruiters are unsure how much effort to put into packs for contingency roles, confidential searches, or lower-fee work.
The candidate information pack fixes all three. Build it once per role, personalise where it counts, send it before the call, invite questions.
What's inside the guide
- What goes in the pack — company, product, team, hiring manager, role, process, and the context a job ad can't give.
- Three automation approaches — interactive landing pages (Lovable), voice agent packs (ElevenLabs), and document-based packs (Claude Design), each with the workflow, who it's best for, build effort and limitations.
- The automation logic — minimum inputs per role, and what should be templated versus generated.
- A comparison table to choose your approach on format, effort, candidate experience, confidentiality, personalisation and cost.
- Lighter versions for contingency roles, confidential searches and lower-fee work — plus a five-step "pick, ship, iterate" plan.
