FAQ

Recruitment automation questions

Browse these frequently asked questions about automating recruitment

What is recruitment automation?

Recruitment automation uses software to handle repetitive hiring tasks, such as acknowledging applications, notifying hiring managers, moving candidates between stages and sending updates, so recruiters can spend their time on people rather than admin.

Which recruitment tasks can be automated?

The most common are vacancy approvals, application acknowledgements, stage-change emails to candidates, alerts to the hiring team, and the hand-over from recruitment to onboarding once someone is hired. Sense HR has a ready-made workflow for each of these.

Can new applicants get an automatic reply?

Yes. Sense HR's new applicant workflow sends every applicant a confirmation email as soon as they apply, and lets the vacancy's hiring team know at the same time.

Can I change the wording of automated recruitment emails?

Yes. In the pipeline notifications workflow you write each email yourself, and you can add merge tags such as the applicant's first name and the vacancy name. AMI can also draft the email for you.

What happens when an applicant is marked as hired?

Sense HR's applicant hired workflow creates a to-do for your HR admins, and sends them an email, prompting them to start the new starter process and add the person to your HR system.

How do I add an ATS workflow to Sense HR?

Library workflows, such as pipeline notifications, are installed from the Workflow Hub in Sense Automate. For other ATS workflows, contact our support team and we will add them for you.
