Recruiters, meet your newest colleague—one who doesn’t sleep, multitasks effortlessly, and logs every move in real time. Mega HR has officially launched Megan, an AI-powered recruiter fully embedded within Greenhouse, marking a notable first for the hiring platform’s ecosystem.
Unlike most recruitment bots that hover outside core systems, Megan operates natively inside Greenhouse, not as an add-on, but as a true member of the team. Once added, she begins working immediately—screening resumes, managing outreach, scheduling interviews, and even joining calls (silently) to take notes and sync structured feedback.
In short: she’s the AI recruiter your overworked HR team’s been waiting for.
The New Reality of Recruiting
Hiring today feels more like firefighting than matchmaking. Applicant numbers have ballooned—thanks to both widespread layoffs and the rise of AI-generated applications—while recruiting headcount has stayed flat. The result? Burnout, delays, and ghosted candidates.
“Megan was built for this exact moment,” says Darren Bounds, CEO of Mega HR. “Teams are buried in admin work instead of actually getting to know people. Megan gives recruiters their time back and candidates the respect of consistent communication.”
Her job: handle the repetitive grind so humans can handle the people part.
What Megan Actually Does
Inside Greenhouse, Megan can:
-
Screen candidates contextually using job descriptions and custom parameters
-
Re-engage past applicants (aka silver medalists) with tailored outreach
-
Automate scheduling through direct links or full-service coordination
-
Join live interviews silently to document notes and highlight key insights
-
Maintain clear communication with candidates at every stage
Recruiters can set Megan to fully automate these workflows or run in “assist mode,” keeping control while still reaping efficiency gains. Every action she takes is logged within Greenhouse for complete transparency.
Plug-and-Play AI—No IT Headaches
Integration is refreshingly painless. Megan is added to Greenhouse like any other user—with role-based access and job-specific permissions. There are no setup fees or lengthy onboarding cycles, and Mega HR claims most teams see productivity boosts within the first day.
That’s a stark contrast to many HR tech implementations, which often drag on for weeks before showing ROI.
Built for Responsible Automation
Mega HR emphasizes responsibility and fairness as much as speed. Megan’s decisions are continuously audited for bias and risk exposure, and reporting tools offer visibility into how candidates are evaluated—key for organizations juggling compliance and DEI commitments.
With AI rapidly reshaping recruiting—from LinkedIn’s smart recommendations to HireVue’s interview analytics—Mega HR is positioning Megan as a transparency-first alternative that fits seamlessly into existing workflows rather than replacing them.
The Bigger Picture
Megan’s arrival underscores a broader trend: AI is no longer a bolt-on for HR tech—it’s becoming the connective tissue inside it. Greenhouse users can now experience that shift firsthand, letting AI handle the admin chaos while recruiters focus on judgment, relationships, and culture fit—the parts of hiring that still need a human touch.
