Automated Teamtailor Stalled Candidate Alerts

Every Friday, WebRun opens Teamtailor, finds candidates untouched in their current stage for 14 days or more, drafts a polite rejection for each in Gmail without sending it, and logs the full batch to Airtable for the recruiting team.

In short

How do I clear out stalled candidates in Teamtailor without rejecting anyone by accident?

WebRun scans your Teamtailor pipelines every Friday for candidates who have sat untouched in a stage for two weeks or more, drafts a polite rejection for each in Gmail without sending it, and logs the full batch to Airtable. Recruiters review and send the drafts themselves, so no candidate is rejected without a human decision.

  • No candidate sits forgotten in a pipeline stage for weeks
  • Every rejection is reviewed by a human before it sends
  • Recruiters get a clean, logged stalled-candidate list every Friday

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it reject candidates without me?

No. WebRun only drafts the rejection email in Gmail and leaves it unsent. A recruiter reviews and sends every message, so nothing goes to a candidate automatically.

How does it decide a candidate is stalled?

It reads how long each candidate has sat in their current Teamtailor stage and flags anyone past 14 days with no stage change.

What if a candidate already moved stages?

It reads live pipeline stages from Teamtailor on every run, so anyone already moved forward is skipped automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
