Build with Billy: Job Inactivity Alert

automatically close jobs

Interested in ensuring your important jobs are getting worked on appropriately? Want a way to reduce your sales cycle? Do you want an easy way for management to know what is/what isn’t happening with Open Jobs? I’ve got your solution! Identify Open Jobs that don’t have a certain level of submission activity and alert your recruiting teams or managers.

Bonus points: if you grade your job orders, you can create different levels that warrant alerts/reminders. You can even keep your client updated on the progress that is being made if you’d like. Do this well, and the productivity boost is incredible!
