I automated our hiring, I just reply yes and it books the interview

Job applications from a Google Form land in his spreadsheet on their own and each one is emailed to him to review. If he replies yes, the applicant gets his scheduling link; once they book they get joining instructions and a reminder an hour before. He runs the business next to a full time job and two kids in diapers, so every message it sends for him counts.

How it works

  1. Application comes in through Google Forms
  2. It reads the answers onto the spreadsheet
  3. Emails the application to him
  4. He replies yes or no
  5. Yes sends the applicant his scheduling link
  6. Booked candidates get joining instructions and a reminder one hour before

Why it’s worth knowing

His whole part in hiring is replying one word to an email; the forms, the sheet, the booking link and the reminders all move on their own.
