Loop templates

The Loops page with the Explore templates row, showing four template cards with their trigger and first step

A Loop could do a lot of recruiting work for you, but each one started as an empty page. You picked the trigger, wrote the steps and guessed the wait times, and the next team built the same Loop again.

Loops now come with templates for the work most teams repeat. A template asks a few questions, such as which weekday or how many days to wait, and then makes a draft Loop that is switched off. Some templates make two to five Loops that work together. You read the draft, change what you want, and publish it and switch it on when it is ready.

Say you want candidates who were turned down to hear back without anyone writing the email by hand. Pick Rejection email after a person rejects, choose a wait of 1, 2 or 3 days, then publish the Loop and switch it on. To start, open Loops and pick a card under Explore templates, or choose All templates to see them all, grouped into Featured, Applications, Candidates, Jobs and Reporting.

Interview pack

When an application moves to the interview status, Attia Agent posts one comment on it with what the application says, what it leaves open, such as start date or salary, and the questions written for the job. Then it tells the application's assignee and the job's lead. It never scores or ranks the candidate.

Weekly update for each active job

Every week, on the day and time you choose, the Loop posts a factual update on each job that is in progress or published and has something to report, and tells the job's people.

Rejection email after a person rejects

The team's own rejection email goes out 1, 2 or 3 days after a person rejects an application, never after a Loop does. It is not sent when the application is moved back, is withdrawn or gets the label No rejection email.

Publish to job boards

When a job is published, the Loop adds the free job boards you ticked and posts how each ad is doing. Paid boards are off until you turn them on.

Offer and sign-off nudges

Three linked Loops keep offers moving. The team hears when an offer has waited 3 days, and again 4 days later, and adding a label sends the candidate one approved reminder.

On the second Tuesday of each month, the Loop labels candidates whose applications are all closed and unchanged for more than 180 days, and sends the count to the people you name. It deletes nothing. 30 days before a candidate's consent ends, they get an email asking if they want to stay in your talent pool, and a reminder later if they have not answered.

New job alert to the talent pool

When a job is published, Attia Agent reads the ad first and can hold the alert. Then the Loop emails the Connected people who chose this kind of job, once per job. When more people match than your limit, the job lead hears about it first, and the alert goes out only if someone lets it through within 2 days.

Workspace templates

Choose Save as template in a Loop's menu to give it a name, an icon and a description. It then shows under Workspace templates in the gallery, and a new Loop can start from it.

Duplicate and move

Duplicate makes a copy of a Loop in the same team, owned by you and switched off. Move puts a Loop in another team.

Editing permissions

Choose Editing permissions in a Loop's menu to say who may change it: All members, Admins or Only loop owner. Workspace owners and admins can always get back in.

Row menu and published versions

Right-click a Loop in the list to open its full menu. Show published versions lets you look at an earlier published version and restore it to the draft.

Working days

Loops used to send on public holidays like any other day. Now an admin picks a public holiday calendar under Settings > Workspace, for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, and adds Closed days such as a summer closure. A team with its own working hours can follow another country's calendar. A Send message step set to send during working hours waits past those days, and a Wait, an answer deadline and a reminder delay can count working days. A scheduled Loop has a new choice, On public holidays and closed days: Run anyway, Skip or Move to the next working day.

Job alerts

A person who connects on your career site can now say what they are looking for: areas, locations and job types, and how often they want email, at most one a week or at most one a day and four a month. An admin names the areas under Settings > Jobs > Job alerts, and links each to teams or job labels. The New job alert to the talent pool template then sends the emails. Each alert has a link to stop alerts from your company in one click, and the person stays connected.
