Autopilot is an add-on feature to R365 Hire's Recruiting module that facilitates communication between Users and Applicants when arranging interviews. This feature helps to speed up the hiring process by scheduling interviews with Applicants quickly. 


Autopilot generates automatic messages via text and email to Applicants to schedule a time and date for interviews. Once the User's calendar is connected, Autopilot will:

  • Send messages via text and email to arrange interviews
    • Note: Applicants must opt-in to receive text messages
    • Note: All Autopilot content messages are pre-generated and cannot be customized at this time
  • Schedule interviews with Applicants based on the User's availability
  • Select an interviewer to conduct the interview
