A first pass through the pile, consistently applied
Applications are read against the published criteria for the role rather than against whoever is reviewing that morning, and each shortlist decision carries the evidence behind it.

Category overview
HR agents for people teams that carry more process than headcount
People teams absorb an enormous amount of scheduling, screening, and repeat questioning that never appears in a job description. VDF people agents take the mechanical share of that work — first-pass candidate review, interview logistics, onboarding checklists, handbook lookups — and leave the judgement calls where they belong.
Onboarding that does not depend on one person remembering
New-joiner sequences, account requests, document collection, and check-in scheduling run from a template that adapts to the role, location, and start date.
The recurring questions answered from the handbook
Leave entitlements, expense rules, benefit eligibility, and reference letters resolve from the approved policy set, with the paragraph shown alongside.

Operating model
A people workflow from application to first review
HR agents earn their place when they are wired into the systems where employment data already lives. VDF grounds them in your applicant tracking, HRIS, calendar, and policy library while keeping personal data under existing controls.
Connect people systems
Applicant tracking, HRIS records, the policy handbook, offer templates, and team calendars become available to the agent under existing role permissions.
Screen and schedule
Applications are scored against role criteria, panels are assembled from availability, and candidates receive scheduling options without a coordinator in the loop.
Run the joiner sequence
Offer paperwork, equipment and access requests, buddy assignment, and the first-week agenda are generated and tracked to completion.
Answer and escalate
Everyday policy questions resolve from approved documents; anything touching compensation, grievance, or termination routes to a named person.
Governance & deployment
HR AI that a works council can actually approve
Personnel data is among the most tightly regulated categories an enterprise holds, and hiring decisions carry discrimination exposure. VDF keeps the processing inside your infrastructure, records what the agent saw and produced, and keeps consequential decisions with a person.

FAQ
Questions about people & hr agents
What are AI HR agents?
AI HR agents are specialized agents that support recruiting, interview coordination, employee onboarding, and policy questions, working from your applicant tracking system, HRIS, and approved handbook.
Can an HR agent reject a candidate on its own?
No. VDF configures screening as a ranked shortlist with reasoning attached, and a recruiter makes every advance or reject decision — which is also what the EU AI Act expects of employment-related systems.
Is employee data safe with an HR agent?
These agents run on-premise or in a sovereign cloud, personal identifiers are redacted before inference, and access to records follows the permissions already defined in your HR systems.
