As a recruiter, you're already great at making sure your company hires the best people for each role. You're an expert at reaching people, keeping things organized, and setting your team and your new candidates up for success. With automation, you can take those skills to the next level by removing the busywork that takes up precious time, like sharing content across multiple platforms, uploading files, or managing leads.

Zapier helps take care of the menial tasks in your day by taking data from one app to another, eliminating work you'd otherwise have to do manually. The pre-made Zaps (our word for automated workflows) below can help give you recruiting superpowers, and help you build the best team possible for your company.

Send new applicants a personalized message

When we talk about sending messages automatically, one of the first worries that comes up is always "won't it sound like a robot?" And the answer is "no," provided you customize your message to match the person. Using a Zap, you can take in new applicants, and send each one a personalized email using Zapier's ability to take information from one app and use it in the next.

Share job openings across social media

When you're hiring for a new role, you'll often want to cast as wide a net as possible, which means sharing your job openings on social media. This can be time-consuming not only because you have to log in to multiple sites and post similar content on each, but you have to make adjustments for image size, or how many characters you can type. Let us take care of the heavy lifting for you, and post job openings right from your recruitment tool to social media when they go live.

Save high-quality candidates to a spreadsheet

Sometimes, you might have a great candidate, but not a great role to put them in yet. Don't risk letting good talent go to waste, and use this Zap to quickly save their information to a spreadsheet so you can match them up quickly when the right opportunity comes around.

Save important tasks to a to-do list

You never know when you're going to run into your next high-priority item, and switching between your current task and your to-do list to write something down can quickly become distracting. Like cameras, the best to-do list is the one you have with you. With Zapier, you can easily create tasks from just about anywhere.

Automatically save resumes where you need them

If you receive resumes or portfolios by email, going back later to find them can be a hassle. This Zap automatically uploads attachments to Google Drive, making them easier to find when you need them.

Going above and beyond

These are the five ways we think every recruiter should use Zapier to make their job easier. But this is just the start of what automation can do for you. Learn how it can help you take control of your meetings, save money, and even run your business.

Happy automating!
