Automated Otta Candidate Interest Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens your Otta employer dashboard, checks for candidates who marked interest in your open role since the last run, adds each one to an Airtable pipeline with their background, and updates a Notion pipeline doc so recruiters always see the highest-intent candidates at the top.

In short

How do I prioritize high-intent candidates on Otta?

WebRun checks Otta every hour for candidates who mark interest in your open role, logs each one to an Airtable pipeline with their background, and keeps a Notion doc sorted so the most recent, highest-intent candidates sit at the top. It never messages a candidate itself, so reaching out always stays your recruiter's own call.

  • High-intent candidates get logged within the hour
  • Recruiters always know who to contact first
  • Withdrawn interest never lingers in the pipeline

Questions, answered

Does WebRun message the candidate to accept the match?

No. It only logs the interest and prioritizes it for your recruiter. Sending the first message on Otta always stays a manual step your team takes.

How is the pipeline doc kept in priority order?

The most recently interested candidates sort to the top, so recruiters always see who to reach out to first without hunting through Otta.

What happens if a candidate withdraws interest?

The next run reads Otta's live status, so anyone who withdrew is skipped instead of staying stuck in the pipeline.

Put this on autopilot.
