Skip to main content
The cookbook contains practical HireData recipes for real recruitment outcomes. Most combine a trigger, conditions, tasks, and templates into a workflow you can adapt to your own apps and process. A few build one piece of content, such as a form that screens its own answers.

How to use a recipe

Every recipe opens with what you will build and ends with how to test it safely. In between, an automation recipe walks the trigger that starts it, the conditions that decide which records continue, and the tasks HireData runs on them. A recipe that builds one piece of content walks that content instead, question by question or block by block. Use the recipe as a starting point. Object names, stages, fields, and available tasks can differ between ATS connections, so choose the equivalent values from your own automation builder.

Before you build

  • Connect the app that provides the source data.
  • Identify a safe test record.
  • Confirm which fields and relationships are available.
  • Decide who owns the outcome when a task requires human follow-up.
  • Check the template gallery for an existing automation you can adapt.
  • Test every external action before activating the workflow.
Recipes that send messages, update records, or call external systems can affect real data. Use test recipients and sandbox endpoints until you have reviewed the complete run.

Available recipes

Find incomplete candidate profiles

Find profiles with missing information and route them to a recruiter, internal team, or candidate-completion workflow.

Post an outcome to your own system

Send a JSON summary to an API endpoint when a HireData event occurs, then reuse the response in later tasks.

Screen and score applicants

Build a pre-screening form that rejects the applicants who cannot do the job, ranks the rest, and summarises each response.

Ask for feedback in one click

Put a rating question in the email itself, so a candidate answers with one click from their inbox.

Build confidently

After creating a recipe:
  1. Test the automation.
  2. Review its event and run.
  3. Confirm the result in the destination app.
  4. Activate it for a limited audience before expanding the conditions.
For reusable starting points, also browse the template gallery from the HireData dashboard.
