Overview
The AI Chatbot Assistant utilises innovative AI technologies to deliver accurate responses to frequently asked questions from your candidates.
It is vitally important that the information that the chatbot shares with your candidates is correct, up to date and delivered in a tone which fits with your organisation's branding.
We've chosen technologies which help ensure that you can let the AI Chatbot Assistant do the heavy lifting on those candidate questions, secure in the knowledge that the responses being provided are timely and accurate.
Populating the FAQ library
The AI Chatbot Assistant utilises the same Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) library functionality that you may have previously used to display blocks of FAQs directly on pages within your career site.
For more information on managing FAQs for this purpose, refer to Managing lists of Frequently Asked Questions.
Creating lists of FAQs
To create a new list of FAQs:
- In the main menu, select Careers Website.
- Within the Career Website section, from the top menu, select FAQs.
- On the FAQs page, select New from the top right of the screen.
- Complete the following information:
- Name - this is the friendly name used to identify this list of FAQs.
- Header - this is the title that will be presented above the FAQ block if it is presented on a web page on the career site.
- Subheader - this is explanatory text which sits between the title and the first questions when it is presented on a web page on the career site, allowing you to provide further context on the list of FAQs.
- Click Save.
Adding or Managing questions and answers
- In the main menu, select Careers Website.
- Within the Career Website section, from the top menu, select FAQs.

Other options available:

Enabling AI responses
Once you have populated the FAQ library with appropriate questions and answers, it is then time to enable the AI Chatbot Assistant to be able to utilise that information to respond to candidate questions.
- From the main menu, under Company click Settings.
- Under Miscellaneous click Chatbot.
- Click the tab labelled AI Replies.
- The screen will show whether AI Replies are currently enabled or disabled.
- Click the button to Enable or Disable.
If you are enabling AI responses for the first time, please allow around 5 to 10 minutes for the FAQ library data to be synchronised to the generative AI knowledge base which underpins this functionality.
If you choose to disable AI responses at any time, the AI Chatbot Assistant will no longer attempt to respond to candidate questions using the information provided within the FAQ library.
Frequently Asked Questions
Functionality
| Question | Answer |
| How is the response to the candidate questions generated? |
The AI Chatbot Assistant adopts a technology approach called Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to ensure that the response provided to the candidate is accurate and appropriate. RAG is the process of optimizing the output of a large language model, so it references an authoritative knowledge base outside of its training data sources before generating a response. In the case of the AI Chatbot Assistant, the authoritative knowledge base is the FAQ library you have populated within Recruitment Marketing. |
| Can we populate the knowledge base with other sources of information? | Not at the present time. In the future, PageUp may look to extend these capabilities to allow you to utilise other sources of knowledge, such as pages from your careers or corporate website to populate the knowledge base. |
| Can the AI Chatbot Assistant communicate with candidates in multiple languages? | At this stage, the AI Chatbot Assistant is designed to communicate in English. |
| How long does it take for information we added to the FAQ library to be available to the AI Chatbot Assistant? | Under normal circumstances, updates or additions to the FAQ library should be available to the AI Chatbot Assistant within 5 to 10 minutes. |
| Do I need to provide every variation of the question that a candidate may ask? | No, the innovative technology being utilised by the AI Chatbot Assistant allows the chatbot to interpret the natural language input from the candidate, and identify the most relevant information to respond to that from it's available knowledge base. |
| Does the AI Chatbot Assistant respond to questions with the exact text that I added to the FAQ library? | The RAG technology approach allows the AI Powered Chatbot to generate an appropriate response to the candidate's question based on the available information within the knowledge base. Depending on the question being asked, the response may be an amalgamation of a number of separate entries from within your FAQ library. |
| Can I change the tone of voice of the responses from the AI Chatbot Assistant. | The responses from the AI Chatbot Assistant are presented in the first person, to foster the sense of a conversational interaction between the chatbot and the candidate. |
Hosting, Security, Bias and Privacy

| What control processes has PageUp put in place to ensure that the AI model is not biased? |
PageUp is deeply committed to ensuring that our product features are designed to create fair and equitable outcomes for candidates.
