Automated Remotive Stale Applicant Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens your Remotive employer dashboard, checks every applicant against how long they have sat in review, messages the hiring manager on WhatsApp for anyone stuck more than 7 days, and blocks a follow up slot on Google Calendar so the review actually happens.
How do I stop applicants from going stale in Remotive?
WebRun checks Remotive every morning for applicants stuck in review for more than 7 days, messages the hiring manager on WhatsApp with the list, and blocks a follow up slot on Google Calendar so the review actually happens. It never contacts the applicant itself, so any update to a candidate stays a decision your team makes.
- Stale applicants get reviewed within the week instead of forgotten
- Hiring managers get a dedicated slot instead of squeezing it in
- No applicant sits in review without someone noticing

Questions, answered
Does WebRun message the applicant to update them?
No. It only messages your hiring manager. Reaching out to update an applicant always stays a manual step your team takes from Remotive.
What counts as a stale applicant?
Anyone who has sat in the same review stage for more than 7 days without an update, so the alert only fires when a real delay is building up.
Why block calendar time instead of just sending a message?
A message alone is easy to skim past. A blocked slot makes sure the stale applicants actually get reviewed, not just seen.
