4 ways to automate JobAdder

Hiring is one of the most fast-paced functions at any company. That’s why apps like JobAdder are so valuable: They help you manage your entire applicant pipeline, from sourcing new talent to placing candidates in specific roles. 

But the hiring team doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Besides JobAdder, there are dozens of other apps you need to work with—like your email marketing app and your spreadsheet tool. 

That’s where automation comes in. With Zapier, you can connect JobAdder with the other apps you use every day and create automated workflows (we call them Zaps) that do work for you. Here’s how!

Automatically add JobAdder contacts to your mailing list

To create a great applicant experience, you need to communicate regularly—whether that’s news about an interview, other jobs the candidate might find interesting, or just general updates on the hiring process. But when your talent pool is on the larger side, emailing everyone manually is simply out of the question

Thankfully, you can use Zapier to connect JobAdder with your email marketing app. For example, you can create a Zap that automatically adds (or updates) a subscriber in your email marketing tool based on activity in JobAdder. That way, your candidates can hear from you regularly—no manual work required.

Send emails based on JobAdder activity

Hiring is a dynamic field, and you need to keep close tabs on JobAdder activity in order to act quickly. Realistically, however, you can’t spend your whole day following up with candidates.

Instead of trying to stay on top of follow-ups manually, you can automate the process with Zapier. For example, you can create a Zap that automatically emails a candidate when a placement changes (or is created) in JobAdder. That way, candidates hear from you right away—and no one falls through the cracks.

Connect JobAdder with a spreadsheet

Spreadsheets are a great way to organize data, but they’re especially good for analyzing it. Even if you’re not a data scientist, you can use spreadsheets to unlock valuable insights about your recruitment and hiring—from how many roles you’ve filled this year to how many more candidates you’ll need to source. 

Instead of manually copy-pasting or exporting all that information from JobAdder into a spreadsheet over and over again, you can automate the process with Zapier. For example, you can create a Zap that triggers when there’s a new or updated item in JobAdder—and automatically adds it to a spreadsheet. That way, your spreadsheet data is always up to date.

Of course, you can also use automation to do the opposite. Say you initially use a spreadsheet to collect candidate info, you can use this Zap to update candidates in JobAdder based on new spreadsheet data. 

Turn form responses into JobAdder candidates

There are so many ways for candidates to get in touch, but the most common is probably the application form on your website. Getting candidate information from that form into JobAdder, though, can be a real challenge—especially if you’re dealing with a high volume of applicants.

Rather than wasting time on manual data entry, you can use automation to make sure all your form responses end up in JobAdder. For example, you can create a Zap that creates new candidates based on form submissions.

You can also use a similar automated workflow to attach notes to existing candidate profiles in JobAdder—for example, after a candidate fills out a form to collect additional information. 

Speed up your hiring with JobAdder and Zapier

Finding the right people for the right jobs is challenging, and busywork can make it feel even more difficult. Instead of trying to keep up with all the admin work associated with hiring, you can get those tasks done faster with automation. By using Zapier to connect JobAdder to the other apps you use every day, you can work more efficiently—and create great candidate experiences.
