For hiring managers

Interviews booked, feedback chased, nobody left waiting.

Recruiting is mostly coordination: finding times across four calendars, telling candidates what's next, getting interviewers to write their feedback. Cicada does that part from your inbox and your calendar, and asks before anything goes to a candidate.

Sign up and your agent comes set up for this. Free for 3 days, then from $29 a month.

What it does

The coordination, handled.

Times that suit everyone

Checks the interviewers' calendars, finds the slots and sends the invites with the video link.

Candidates kept in the loop

Confirmations, reminders and next steps, written from your inbox and sent when you OK them.

Feedback chased

After each interview it asks the interviewers for their notes in the hiring channel or by email, and tells you who's still outstanding.

Notes from the interview

It can join the video interview as your notetaker, says so in the meeting chat, and sends you the notes afterwards.

Your ATS kept current

Reads candidates and stages from Greenhouse, Workable or Bullhorn, and updates them where you allow it.

A weekly pipeline note

Every Friday: who's at which stage, what's waiting on whom, and which candidates haven't heard from you in a week.

How it works

Set up in minutes, in plain English.

  1. Connect calendar, inbox and ATS

    Google Calendar or Outlook, Gmail or Outlook mail, and Greenhouse, Workable or Bullhorn.

  2. Hand it a round

    "Second rounds for the three finalists next week, 45 minutes with me and Owen."

  3. Approve, then let it run

    It drafts, you OK, it sends and keeps track of the replies, the interviews and the feedback.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Does it email candidates without asking?

Not by default. Every email to a candidate waits for your OK and comes from your own inbox. You can let routine confirmations go on their own once you trust it.

Is this an AI recruiter?

This is the coordination side of recruiting: scheduling, candidate updates, feedback and notes. The same agent can also research and shortlist candidates, which the AI recruiter page covers.

Which applicant tracking systems does it work with?

Greenhouse, Workable and Bullhorn, plus others among Cicada's 1,400+ app connections, and any spreadsheet you track candidates in.

Can it join interviews?

Yes, on Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex. It joins as your notetaker and posts in the meeting chat that it's taking notes.

Can each recruiter have their own?

Yes. Everyone in the workspace gets their own agent with their own inbox and calendar; the ATS is connected once for the team.

What does it cost?

Starter is free for 3 days, then $29 a month for 300 credits and 3 agents for one person; Growth is $99 a month for up to 10 people and Business $249 with no limit on people. Credits meter the work agents actually do, and packs start at $25 for 200.
