RECRUITMENT AUTOMATION

Let workflows do the repetitive part. Recruiters do the rest.

A visual no-code editor: trigger emails, tag candidates, and move them between stages automatically when they enter a new stage or answer a screening question. Branch by score, location, department, or language inside a single workflow. Recruiters get back to the conversations that actually decide a hire.

Visual recruiting workflow editor in Join showing a stage-move trigger connected to a templated email action

01

Stage moves trigger emails.

When a candidate moves to 'screening', send the take-home brief. When they move to 'rejected', send the templated rejection. The email goes out automatically with your merge fields filled in. Build it in the visual editor: pick a trigger, pick an action, no scripting.

  • Automated emails fire the moment a candidate changes stage
  • Merge fields pre-filled from the candidate record
  • Build once in the visual editor, no scripting required
Auto-tag settings in Join showing candidates routed by source board and screening-question pass/fail

02

Tag and route from the application form.

Every candidate carries the board they came in on, and Join can auto-tag them by source for reporting. Application-form screening questions can drive tags too: candidates who passed the knockouts go one way, ones who didn't go another. Or trigger workflows manually from a candidate profile when you need a one-off.

  • Auto-tag candidates by the board they applied through
  • Knockout answers drive tags and routing automatically
  • Trigger workflows manually from the profile for one-offs
Conditional-branching workflow in Join routing candidates by score and location

03

Branch on what matters.

Conditional logic in the visual editor: route by score, location, department, or language. Senior London engineers can flow into one workflow; junior Berlin retail into another. Different actions for different segments, without building a separate workflow per segment.

  • Route by score, location, department, or language
  • Different actions for different segments in one workflow
  • No need to build a separate workflow per candidate segment

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Automate without giving up control.

  • Four triggers

    Stage move, source board, application form answer, or a manual button on the candidate profile. Pick one to start a workflow.

  • Three actions

    Send a templated email, change the candidate's stage, or add a tag. Chain them in any order.

  • Conditional branching

    Route by score, location, department, or language. Different actions for different segments, in one workflow.

  • Slack via Zapier or Make

    Need to notify a teammate on Slack or post to your HRIS? Wire Join's events into your Zap or Make scenario via the Integrations feature.

What customers say about Join.Recruiters and hiring managers who use it.

“I don't have to send all these emails anymore, not the rejection emails, not the confirmation emails, not the interview reminders. Join just handles it. I can fully focus on finding the best talent.”

Recruitment automation FAQ

What can I automate in Join?
Workflows fire on four triggers: a stage move, the source board a candidate came in on, an application-form answer (e.g., a knockout question), or a manual click on the candidate profile. The workflow then sends a templated email, changes the candidate's stage, or adds a tag, with optional conditional branching. If you can express it as 'when X happens, send this email, move to that stage, tag this way', Join runs it.
Do I need a developer to set up recruitment automation?
No. Workflows are built in a visual editor: pick a trigger, add actions, set conditions. No code.
How does conditional branching work?
Inside a workflow, you can route candidates differently based on their score, location, department, or language. One workflow can handle multiple paths instead of forcing you to build a separate workflow per segment.
Can I push automation events to Slack, Teams, or my HRIS?
Not as a native action today. Use the Integrations feature: Join's events feed into Zapier or Make scenarios, which can then post to Slack, Microsoft Teams, your HRIS, or any other tool with a Zapier/Make integration.
How does recruitment automation relate to the hiring pipeline?
Workflows fire on pipeline events: a stage move is the most common trigger. The pipeline is the structure; workflows are what happens automatically as candidates move through it.
