How to Run Your Hiring Pipeline From Slack

You can run much of your hiring pipeline from Slack by using slash commands to list jobs, compare candidates, generate interview questions, shortlist, send a hiring manager brief, and move candidates between stages, so the conversation about a hire and the action on it happen in the same place.

Why bring hiring into Slack

Hiring decisions are made in conversations with hiring managers, and those usually happen in chat. Switching to another tool to look up a candidate, then back to type the answer, loses context. Commands in the thread keep it together.

Useful commands

Listing your open jobs, comparing two candidates, getting interview questions for a candidate, shortlisting, putting someone on hold, checking analytics and asking what needs your attention today are the actions recruiters do most. In Rezumz, /rezumz help shows the full list.

Buttons beat typing

Results in Slack can carry buttons, so you can open a candidate's interview prep, shortlist or hold them straight from the message instead of typing a second command.

Keep humans in the loop

Moving a candidate's stage is a real action. Use commands for decisions you've already made, and keep AI output as a draft: a brief or comparison should be read before it's sent to a hiring manager.

Mind who sees what

Slack channels can be wide. Share candidate details only in channels where everyone should see them, and prefer direct messages for sensitive information.

Setting it up

Install the Rezumz Slack app for your workspace and connect it to your recruiter account. The Slack Bot page walks through each command with examples.
