2. An interview builds the process
The AI interviews the person who does the work, one question at a time. The diagram grows as they answer, and anything the AI had to assume is marked ? for someone to confirm.
Twiggy: Let’s map how you recruit. In a sentence or two: what starts it, and what does a good outcome look like?
Recruitment lead: A hiring manager gets a role approved. They write a brief, we advertise it and screen the applications, then they interview a shortlist and pick someone.
Twiggy: Here’s a first sketch. Who screens the applications: the hiring manager or a recruitment team? And what happens if nobody suitable applies?

Recruitment lead: Recruitment advertises and screens, in the applicant tracking system. If nobody is suitable the role is closed. Then we make an offer, and they accept or decline.
Twiggy: Thanks: recruitment now has its own lane, with the decision and the offer. One gap: are references and right to work checked, and by whom? I’ve added a step for it and marked it ? until someone confirms.

Recruitment lead: I think the People team does the checks, but I’m not sure if it’s before or after the offer. I’ll ask them.
Twiggy: Noted on the step. I’ve sent the flow to the Head of People to sign off, with the ? items listed for them to confirm or correct.
What the AI marked for confirmation
- The People team lane
- Check references and right to work: confirm whether the People team or recruitment runs the checks, and whether they finish before or after the offer.
- Offer accepted?
Validated by the people responsible
The flow goes to the Head of People for sign-off from a private link, on any device, with no account. Each lane's owner sees their part picked out, confirms or corrects the ? items, comments and approves. Once signed off, the process is part of the catalogue, with its owner and a date to review it again.
3. Connected to what the business governs
Every step carries who does it, the systems it uses, the risks it carries and the controls that manage them, from shared registers: one risk or system, used everywhere, changed in one place.

| Advertise the role | Recruitment team | Applicant tracking | — | — |
