The problem it solves

New applications come in through your form, but without a system, someone has to manually check the inbox, copy details into a tracker, and remember to loop in the hiring manager. Applicants can sit unnoticed for days while your team scrambles to catch up on other work.

Who it fits

Small teams or HR staff handling job applications without a full recruiting platform.

How it works

  1. A candidate submits your Typeform application form.
  2. Their details are added as a new row in Google Sheets.
  3. Your hiring team gets an instant Slack notification about the new applicant.
  4. A confirmation email can be sent to the applicant automatically.
What you get

Applicants logged and announced automatically

Every applicant who fills out your form gets logged to a sheet and your team gets a Slack alert right away.

What you get

A logged applicant record in your sheet and a Slack alert to the hiring team.

What you need

A Typeform account, a Google Sheets account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
