How to add a candidate’s owner as a recipient in Hire workflow automation?

Introduction

In any recruitment process, it’s important to keep the right people informed about candidate updates. With Keka Hire, you can now set the Candidate Owner as a recipient in workflow automations. This ensures that the person managing a candidate is automatically notified when key actions occur—helping streamline follow-ups and decisions.

Note: This feature only works if a Candidate Owner is assigned. If not, no action will be triggered for this recipient.

Go to Workflow Automation

1. Navigate to the Hire module.

2. Click Settings in the top-right corner.

3. Select Workflow Automation from the options.

4. Click on the event name you want to update.

Now, every time that workflow event is triggered, the assigned Candidate Owner will receive the configured notification—whether it’s an email, alert, or other communication type.

Use Cases

• Recruiters and Hiring Managers who want automatic updates for the candidates they manage.

• High-volume recruitment where multiple candidates are being processed and notifications help reduce confusion.

• Time-sensitive actions, like interview scheduling or offer rollouts, that require prompt follow-up by the owner.
