The problem it solves

You lose track of where candidates stand because updates live in someone's inbox or head. Hiring managers ask you for news on a candidate and you have to dig through your tracker to answer. Meanwhile, good candidates go quiet because nobody followed up in time.

Who it fits

Hiring teams and small business owners running their own recruiting without a full HR department.

How it works

  1. A candidate's status changes in your hiring system or form
  2. The automation pulls the candidate's name, role, and new stage
  3. It formats a short, clear update message
  4. The message posts instantly to your recruiting Slack channel
What you get

Status updates you don't have to type out

Your hiring team sees every candidate stage change the moment it happens, right in Slack.

What you get

A real-time Slack message showing exactly who moved to what stage in your hiring process.

What you need

A Slack workspace and a system that can send status updates, such as a form or applicant tracker.

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.
