It would be great if you could build custom integrations. Workato provides various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/integrations\">out-of-the-box integrations<\/a> for your stack, thus acting as the central nervous system for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating AI into business processes enhances efficiency and productivity. Automation platforms like Workato offer users <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/platform\/copilots\">AI-powered copilots<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/platform\/ai-by-workato\">AI-generated automation logic<\/a> capabilities to streamline workflows and handle tasks more effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Pre-built template and custom workflow automation <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best ways to empower and enable people to automate is by providing them with pre-built templates to help them get started. These templates usually use drag-and-drop and conditional logic to build and orchestrate complex, end-to-end workflows across teams, tools, and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Low-code capabilities<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone codes, so a tool with low-code capabilities will help both technical and non-technical users automate tasks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/platform\/workflow-apps\">create apps<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Compliance and security<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security is at the core of every IT architecture. Thus, your application needs to meet the needs of modern, global businesses with end-to-end encryption, role-based access control, audit logs, and compliance with global standards like SOC 2 and GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>How to automate recruitment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this definition in mind, let\u2019s review a few recruitment automations you can put into place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Instantly share job postings with employees<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your team can often provide the best job candidates\u2014as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/qje\/article-abstract\/130\/2\/805\/2331590\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research proves<\/a>. The problem is, they don\u2019t know which positions you\u2019re looking to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can inform them in real time and in a way that\u2019s visible by using the following recruitment process automation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Referral Bot Demo - Unexpected Automations\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KK9CaPJtg4g?start=8&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, once a job is posted in an application tracking system (ATS) like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/integrations\/greenhouse?ref=connector-recruiting\">Greenhouse<\/a>, a chatbot posts the job in a specific channel within your business communications platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From that channel, your employees can review the postings and once they want to refer someone to a specific job opening, they can easily do so by following these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The referrer types a command in a chatbot like \u201cadd new referral.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The referrer can then click a button\u2014like \u201cRefer Candidate\u201d\u2014that opens a pop-up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within that pop-up, the referrer can add information on the candidate, such as their full name, the job they\u2019re being referred to, and a link to their LinkedIn profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once submitted, the chatbot adds the referral, along with any information provided, in the ATS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The recruiter then receives a message from the chatbot in their business comms platform. Within the message, the recruiter can learn more about the referral and they can forward them onto the hiring manager with the click of a button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Streamline the screening process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on a study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/blog\/50-hr-recruiting-stats-make-think\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glassdoor<\/a>, the average number of people who apply to a corporate job is 250.

Here\u2019s an automation that lets you do just that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once a candidate is either marked as rejected or hired in your ATS, the workflow gets triggered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A survey tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/integrations\/surveymonkey?ref=connector-recruiting\">SurveyMonkey<\/a>&nbsp;delivers the appropriate survey to that candidate\u2019s email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an additional step, every survey completion can trigger a notification in a specific channel within your business communications platform (e.g. #candidate-feedback); from that channel, your recruiters can quickly review the survey responses and take the necessary actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>Benefits of recruitment automation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these use cases in mind, you likely have a sense of why this type of automation is so critical. But just in case any benefit skips your attention, let\u2019s break down each:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;1. It saves recruiters\u2019 time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recruiters perform a variety of manual, time-consuming tasks every day. This can be anything from sourcing candidates to coordinating interviews across their team to creating an offer letter. And when you\u2019re dealing with a high volume of applicants, these grueling tasks can quickly overwhelm your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With recruiting automation, recruiters no longer have to perform a lot of these tasks, helping them focus more of their time on important responsibilities, like interviewing candidates and analyzing resumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. It amplifies recruiters\u2019 efforts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When they use automations that involve referrals, they\u2019re motivating colleagues to be more involved during the recruiting process. This increases the chances that recruiters source and attract high quality candidates and it allows them to begin interviewing faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. It provides candidates with a better experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can design recruitment automations to create delightful experiences whether by sending swag through a platform like Sendoso or by ensuring interviewers arrive prepared and on time.&nbsp;These automations can help your organization stand out from all of the places an employee interviews with, and it can improve your reputation as an employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. It allows for less bias<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use recruiting automation to streamline your screening process. As it does, it focuses solely on the candidate\u2019s credentials while ignoring personal identifiers, like ethnicity, gender, and age. This helps your team avoid, at least in part, subconscious biases that can influence your hiring decisions. And while this doesn\u2019t guarantee that you\u2019re able to build a team from diverse backgrounds, it should go a long way in helping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. It enables a shorter time-to-hire<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that your recruiters can avoid many manual tasks and source more candidates with the help of their colleagues, they can shorten the interview cycle across open positions and fill each role faster. This should not only save your organization a significant amount of time, but also lower its costs per hire (which&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/hr-today\/news\/hr-news\/pages\/shrm-benchmarking-report-$4,100-average-cost-per-hire.aspx\">according to the Society for Human Resource Management<\/a>, is $4,129)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Related:&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/ats-integration\/\"><em>What is ATS integration?

Thus, your automated system must comply with compliance laws like GDPR, CCPA, and EEOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AD_4nXeU_hRw6teH_5W193U4StoL-OW9NJDoQCvj-AULyS5GxuZA5bO2ZozDNYe1h60J-4VCfIavouVYwqQaL5gcdY4ZEvMgl31MkUp6kd3ECf0Hr2gLlaDR9uzfg55dksXiqx7BRIBCFwkeyd1fPFy6eNwtJlMKYh4wwTe3G.png\" alt=\"Automation is less about the workflow and more about the people and culture.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Continuously optimize your automated workflows <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must monitor, review, and update them to meet your hiring goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Involve stakeholders<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure that you involve stakeholders every step of the way.

If we haven\u2019t already answered your question above, you\u2019ll likely find it addressed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. What\u2019s the difference between recruiting automation software and recruiting automation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recruiting automation software is a category of technology that allows you to streamline specific tasks; an ATS or CRM (candidate relationship management) can power these automations for different parts of your recruitment workflow, whether it\u2019s related to sourcing candidates, scheduling interviews, or creating offer letters. Recruiting automation, on the other hand, involves using automation to transform your recruitment process end-to-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given these differences, the outcomes each provides also differ. The software provides efficiencies and time savings, while recruitment automation can fundamentally change how your team recruits top talent\u2014and, as a result, allow your recruiters to more easily meet (and exceed) their KPIs over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. When should you automate your recruitment process?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following situations call for investing in automation as soon as possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There\u2019s significant attrition and low engagement in your recruiting department.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Qualified candidates are withdrawing from the interview process in droves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You take longer to hire <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.workable.com\/stories-and-insights\/time-to-hire-industry\">compared to industry standards.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candidate referrals are hard to come by.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Candidate engagement\u2014measured through internal benchmarks, anecdotal feedback, using surveys, etc.\u2014is lower than desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. How do you automate your recruitment process?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s hard to provide a one-size-fits-all answer, the following questions can guide you along the process:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-11-at-5.37.26-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog2workato.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-11-at-5.37.26-PM.png\" alt=\"A set of questions that can guide anyone towards building high-performing recruitment automations\" class=\"wp-image-27666\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4.041666666666667;width:679px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What problems will the automation solve for? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the specific metrics an automation aims to influence can help you identify and focus on what\u2019s absolutely necessary to implement the automation successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What business applications are involved? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failing to consider all the applications that need to be included can result in subpar automation and in frustrated employees who work in and manage those neglected applications; moreover, your team might have to rework the automation (or even rebuild it from scratch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is this process time-sensitive? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many cases, speed is key to recruiting effectively. Knowing this, you\u2019ll likely want to opt for real-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/automation-triggers-guide\/\">automation triggers<\/a>.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the business rules\/logic? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accounting for every possible scenario in a given automation (e.g. whether a candidate passed your resume screening) all but ensures that you\u2019re able to engage candidates intelligently and effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What exceptions may occur? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, no automation operates perfectly over time. You\u2019ll need to consider scenarios like API outages and missing data, and each scenario requires mapping out the appropriate response (you can include the error-handling steps you end up defining within the automation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recruiting automation is the use of automation to streamline recruitment processes end-to-end.
