What it does
What Orchestrator does
- 01
Handoffs between agents
Passes the work from one agent to the next — a ranked shortlist to Screener, a signed offer to Onboarding — so nothing is re-entered by hand.
- 02
Status tracking
Keeps one view of where every requisition, candidate and employee sits in the lifecycle, and watches it against your SLAs.
- 03
Exception routing
When a step stalls or fails a check, the Orchestrator routes it to the person who owns it instead of letting it sit in a queue.
- 04
Approval gates
Holds the work at the points where a person must sign off — offers, payroll changes, timesheets and exits — and releases it once they have.
How it works
How Orchestrator works
- 01
Input
Events from every agent: a shortlist ready, an offer signed, an exit confirmed.
- 02
Processing
Matches each event against the handoff rules, checks policy and compliance, and routes the next step.
- 03
Output
The next agent starts with everything it needs, and the status view updates.
- 04
Human approval
An approval gate pauses the workflow until a named person signs off.

FAQ
Orchestrator: frequently asked questions
What is the Orchestrator Agent?
The Orchestrator is the central coordination agent in PilatusOS that manages and connects all other AI agents across the talent lifecycle, ensuring smooth hand-offs from hiring through to exit.
What does the Orchestrator Agent do?
It automates the flow between specialized agents — including sourcing, screening, interviewing, scheduling, offers, onboarding, resource management, HRIS, and offboarding — so processes move forward without manual intervention or dropped hand-offs.
How does the Orchestrator work with other PilatusOS agents?
The Orchestrator acts as the control layer. It triggers the right agent at the right time, passes relevant data between them, monitors progress, and maintains a continuous HR automated workflow across the entire talent management system.
Why is the Orchestrator important in the recruitment process?
Without coordination, individual AI agents can operate in isolation. The Orchestrator ensures every stage — from candidate sourcing to final offboarding — is connected, consistent, and fully automated, reducing delays and human error.
Can the Orchestrator be customized for different hiring workflows?
Yes. The Orchestrator can be configured to match your specific hiring stages, approval rules, and process variations while still coordinating all underlying AI agents seamlessly.
Does the Orchestrator replace other AI agents?
No. It does not replace them. It enhances them by managing the sequence, data flow, and hand-offs between agents so the entire talent lifecycle runs as one connected system.
How does the Orchestrator improve the overall talent management process?
It creates end-to-end visibility and automation, shortens cycle times, maintains process consistency, and frees HR teams from managing transitions between different tools or stages.
What does getting started with the Orchestrator look like?
After selecting the agents relevant to your needs, the Orchestrator is configured to define workflows, set triggers, and establish hand-off rules. It is then tested and activated as part of your overall PilatusOS deployment.
How much does the Orchestrator Agent cost?
Pricing is subjective and depends on the number of users or employees and the number of agents it coordinates. A customized quote is provided after assessing your requirements.
How long does it take to implement the Orchestrator Agent?
The Orchestrator is designed for efficient setup when used within the PilatusOS suite. Implementation time may vary if complex integrations with existing systems or custom workflow rules are required.
