Repetitive stage work
Use rules to reduce repetitive actions tied to candidate stages and screening events.
Automation Rules
Automate the busywork around hiring stages
HiringCat automation rules help teams trigger follow-ups and workflow actions after screening results, stage changes, invites, and candidate events.

Lessmanual follow-up
Clearcandidate actions
Manual follow-up slows every hiring team down
When recruiters manually remember every next step, strong candidates wait and admin work piles up.
Follow-ups get delayed
Trigger communication workflows instead of relying on memory.
Candidates stop moving
Keep qualified candidates moving through the pipeline with consistent next steps.
Automation that stays tied to hiring context
Rules should support the workflow instead of creating a separate automation system to manage.
1
Choose a trigger
Use scores, stage changes, invites, and candidate workflow events as the starting point.
2
Define the action
Set the follow-up, notification, or next step that should happen.
3
Review outcomes
Keep automation tied to candidate and job history so the team knows what happened.
