What it does

The task

Open the candidate candidate in Workable and read the referees that the candidate gave, the job and the interview notes. Write 6 to 8 reference questions in a new Google Doc that test the open points from the interviews. Do not ask about health, family or other protected traits. Draft one e-mail to each referee that names the candidate and the role and asks for a 15-minute call or written answers. Ask me before you send each e-mail. Contact only the referees that the candidate gave.

  • It works in Workable, Google Docs and Gmail, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
  • It stops for your approval before it sends, posts, pays, books or changes a record.
