Automate the work between the decisions

Loam reduces the manual steps that consume a small hiring team's time while preserving the context needed for good judgment.

  1. 01

    Structure incoming resumes

    Turn varied files into consistent profiles with work history, education, links, skills, and a concise candidate brief.

  2. 02

    Evaluate defined signals

    Describe the evidence that matters for a role and use consistent AI-assisted signals to prioritize review.

  3. 03

    Search beyond inbound

    Describe the people you want to meet and search for relevant prospects without constructing brittle query syntax.

  4. 04

    Act through conversation

    Query the pipeline, add notes, and move candidates from Loam chat or an MCP-compatible assistant.

01

Automated candidate briefs, grounded in the source

Loam summarizes the information a reviewer would otherwise extract manually. The underlying resume and application remain available, so the brief accelerates judgment instead of replacing it.

  • Comparable profiles from inconsistent resume formats
  • Concise summaries for fast first-pass review
  • Original evidence remains one click away
02

Signals tailored to the actual role

Generic scoring models flatten the context that makes early hires important. Loam lets the team define specific signals in plain language and review how each candidate matches them.

  • Role-specific criteria written without configuration code
  • Consistent application across the candidate pool
  • Transparent support for human review
03

An ATS that agents can work with

Loam exposes hiring workflows through chat and MCP, so approved AI tools can answer pipeline questions and perform scoped actions without copying candidate context between systems.

  • Ask questions across jobs and candidates
  • Update stages and notes from conversational tools
  • Keep authorization and hiring records inside Loam

Useful automation for teams without recruiting operations

The biggest gains come when a founder or small hiring team has real volume but no dedicated person to maintain the process.

  • Resume review is delaying the first response to good applicants
  • The team repeats the same candidate research across every role
  • Pipeline updates fall behind because hiring happens between other work
  • You want AI assistance with clear boundaries and reviewable evidence

What teams ask before changing their hiring process

What parts of recruiting can Loam automate?

Loam can structure resumes, produce candidate briefs, evaluate user-defined signals, support natural-language sourcing, answer pipeline questions, and carry out scoped workflow updates. Interviews and hiring decisions remain human responsibilities.

Is recruiting automation the same as an ATS?

Not always. An ATS stores and organizes the hiring process; recruiting automation reduces repetitive work within that process. Loam combines both, so automation operates on the same candidate record the team reviews.

How does Loam prevent AI from making unsupported decisions?

Loam presents summaries and signals as decision support, keeps source information accessible, and requires people to make hiring decisions. Teams should review AI outputs rather than treating them as final judgments.

Can Loam work with external AI assistants?

Yes. Loam provides an MCP server for compatible tools, including Claude and Cursor, with scoped access to authorized recruiting workflows.

A better hiring system can still feel lightweight.

Set up Loam, publish one job, and give the team a shared place to make the next decision.
