Overview

Wizehire Scout is our AI-powered assistant, and one of its most powerful features is Recommended Action. These are personalized, real-time suggestions that appear at the top of your dashboard to guide you through the most important next steps in your hiring process.

Before this feature, Wizehire didn’t point out what to do next — making it easy to miss valuable candidates or key tasks. With Recommended Action, Scout ensures you always know what’s most important the moment you log in.

How It Works

Recommended Action cards are created based on:

  • Your open job posts

  • Candidate activity

  • Unread messages

  • Account setup status

Each recommendation remains visible until the action is completed.

Click any recommendation for more context. Scout chat will open in the bottom-right corner with details and links to help you complete the task. You can also jump directly to candidate profiles from this view.

Common Questions

What happens if I ignore a recommendation?
It stays on your dashboard until the action is completed.

Can I dismiss a recommendation manually?
No. Recommendations only clear once the related task is done.

Why don’t I see recommendations for all jobs?
Check your filters and confirm the job meets the requirements for a recommendation.
