This Automation in Practice features a client who placed a candidate without even looking for them. Early in this client\u2019s journey, they created a simple automation to notify their recruiters when a candidate viewed a job on their website but didn\u2019t apply. The following happened within the first few days of that automation running live.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how they achieved it:<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. An <\/span>alert<\/b> came in when a<\/b> candidate viewed a job but didn\u2019t apply.<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. That recruiter <\/span>received the alert.<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. They noticed that the <\/span>candidate would be<\/b> perfect for another position.<\/b><\/li>\n
  4. They reached out and <\/span>made a placement the very next day.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here\u2019s what the client had to say:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cI would have never thought about this candidate if not for the alert. He was the perfect fit for another position we had. Placed him in that role the next day; everyone was thrilled about it: candidate, client, and me!”<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

    This timely alert turned into thousands of dollars in commission, thousands of dollars in revenue for the company, and, most importantly, happiness for everyone involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s how you can do this yourself:<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Before you can begin, you need to make sure your technology steps are all set up.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Navigate to <\/span>Settings<\/b>, which you can find at the bottom of the bar on the right side of your screen.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Under <\/span>Website Integration<\/b>, find <\/span>Website Tracking.<\/b> Click <\/span>Edit.<\/b><\/li>\n
    3. Scroll down to <\/span>3) Set up the pages that should be flagged as important events.<\/b> This is where we can specify that if a candidate goes to a specific part of the website\u2019s URL, we can log that automatically as a job view or a job apply. This configuration makes this automation possible. So, for example, under <\/span>Candidates<\/b>, for <\/span>Job View<\/b>, you could select a <\/span>page <\/b>that <\/span>contains<\/b> \/jobs\/<\/b> or <\/span>\/careers\/<\/b>, or for Job Apply, a <\/span>Page<\/b> that <\/span>contains \/apply\/<\/b> \u2013 whatever these pages on your website have in their respective URLs!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Once you\u2019ve made sure that\u2019s configured, you can set up your automation. We\u2019ll create one that creates alerts for those who have viewed jobs but didn\u2019t apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Back in your automations page, select <\/span>Add Automation<\/b> in the top right corner.<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Select <\/span>Blank Automation.<\/b><\/li>\n
      3. Select <\/span>Candidate-based.<\/b><\/li>\n
      4. Name your automation, and leave the automation type as <\/span>Standard.<\/b><\/li>\n
      5. Click <\/span>Save.<\/b><\/li>\n
      6. Now, we\u2019ll build a list. In your automation, under <\/span>Automation Enrollment<\/b>, click <\/span>Create New List.<\/b><\/li>\n
      7. Name your list, and under <\/span>Choose the type of list<\/b>, select <\/span>Always Updated.<\/b><\/li>\n
      8. In your conditions under <\/span>List Summary<\/b>, select <\/span>Has Activity<\/b>, and then <\/span>Job View.<\/b> You can select however many <\/span>Within Last Days<\/b> as you like.<\/span><\/li>\n
      9. Now, add a condition: <\/span>Does Not Have Activity<\/b>, then <\/span>Job Apply. <\/b>Select the same amount of <\/span>Within Last Days<\/b> as your previous condition.<\/span><\/li>\n
      10. Bonus condition: you can add <\/span>Does Not Have Submission<\/b>, then <\/span>Less Than<\/b>, then the same amount of days. You can add any additional criteria you like, like <\/span>Candidate Status Active<\/b> if you want to target active job seekers.<\/span><\/li>\n
      11. When you’re finished, click <\/span>Save.<\/b><\/li>\n
      12. Now, we\u2019ll set up the notification to, for example, the owner of the candidate, or anyone else you\u2019d like to be notified in the event this candidate views a job but doesn\u2019t apply. Back in your automation, select <\/span>Add New Step.<\/b><\/li>\n
      13. Select <\/span>Send Notification.<\/b><\/li>\n
      14. Select how often you\u2019d like notifications to be sent. <\/span>Immediate<\/b> will send a notification with every single candidate that fits your criteria. That might be preferable for some, but if you\u2019re operating at a larger scale, I recommend the <\/span>Daily<\/b> notification, which sends a list every day of the people who have gone through this automation step.<\/span><\/li>\n
      15. Hit <\/span>Save.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Hopefully, you find some success with this automation!<\/span><\/p>\n
