The problem it solves

Moving a candidate from application to hire involves juggling spreadsheets, emails, and account setup across different tools, and it's easy for a step to fall through the cracks. Manually creating accounts and sending status updates for every new hire adds delay right when you want the process to feel smooth.

Who it fits

A hiring or HR team managing candidates from application through onboarding.

How it works

  1. When a candidate applies, the system captures their details automatically.
  2. Candidate information is logged and organized in Notion.
  3. Status update emails are sent through SendGrid at key points in the process.
  4. Once a candidate is hired, a new account is created for them automatically.
What you get

Candidate details that flow to the next step automatically

New candidates get logged, kept updated by email at every stage, and set up with accounts the moment they're hired.

What you get

An organized candidate record in Notion, timely status emails, and a ready-to-use account for new hires.

What you need

A Notion account, a SendGrid account, and a Google Workspace admin account.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
