How to Configure Automations

Modified on Fri, Nov 13 at 1:48 PM

Automations in Hellohire help streamline your hiring workflow by reducing repetitive tasks such as interview reminders, confirmation emails, follow-ups, and candidate status notifications.


You can configure automations for each meeting stage to customize how candidates are contacted and guided throughout the hiring process.


Here’s how to set it up:

Step 1: Log in to Your Hellohire Account


Go to https://www.tryhellohire.com and log in using your credentials.


Step 2: Go to the Jobs Section


Click “Jobs” in the upper left corner of your screen.



Step 3: Navigate to Jobs and Meeting Stages

  • Select the job for which you'd like to configure automations.
  • Choose the specific Meeting Stage where you want to configure automations.
  • Each meeting stage has its own automation settings, allowing you to customize the communication and actions associated with that stage.



Step 4: Open the Automations Tab


Click on the “Automations” tab to begin setting up your automation rules.



Step 5: Configure Your Automations


The Automations page includes several options to help manage candidate communications and interview scheduling.


1. Interview Reminders


Use this automation to send automatic reminders to candidates about their upcoming interviews.


You can configure the reminder settings to help candidates remember their scheduled interview and reduce missed appointments.



2. Confirmation Email


This automation sends candidates a confirmation email when their interview is scheduled.


You can customize the email content to provide candidates with relevant interview information and instructions.



3. Status change notifications


Use this automation to notify your team whenever a candidate in the selected meeting stage is moved to one of the statuses you've configured.



You can select the statuses that should trigger an email notification and specify the email addresses of the team members who should receive these updates.


How it works:

  • Enable Status Change Notifications.

  • Select the candidate statuses that should trigger notifications.

  • Add the email addresses of the team members who should receive the notifications.

  • Save your settings.

Once enabled, the listed recipients will receive an email whenever a candidate in that stage moves to one of the selected statuses.



This helps your team stay informed about candidate progress and important status changes without having to constantly monitor the candidate pipeline.


3. Automated Next Interview Scheduling


If you want to automatically invite candidates to their next interview after a successful outcome:

  1. Enable Automated Next Interview Scheduling.

  2. Select the next job or stage to link for interview scheduling, depending on the available configuration.

  3. Click Save.



Once enabled, candidates who receive a qualifying successful outcome can automatically be prompted to schedule their next interview.


4. Automate Emails Based on Interview Outcome

You can also configure automated emails based on a candidate's interview status or outcome.


Enable the automation you'd like to use and customize the email subject and message.


Available email automation types include:

  • Automated "Yes" Email

  • Automated "No" Email

  • Automated "Maybe" Email

  • Automated "Hired" Email

  • Automated "Scheduled" Email

  • Automated "No Show" Custom Email

  • Automated "No Show" Reschedule Email

  • Automated "Not Interviewed" Email

  • Automated "Disqualified" Email

You can enable multiple email automations and customize each one individually.
