ProductWorkflows

Build the workflow. The AI runs it.

Triggers, conditions, branches, AI judgement. Source, screen, schedule, advance, and decline without lifting a finger. Templates for every recruitment business model.

01What you can build/ examples

Build any workflow for any recruiting process.

Type what you want, run a template, or drag the visual builder. The examples below are real workflows running on Vitae today. Yours can look completely different. Most take minutes to build and pay back the same week.

01Workflow
Find the top ten engineers who changed jobs in the last 6 months using CoreSignal. Look them up on Exa. Score them against my job description. Send me a list every Monday morning.
02Workflow
When a candidate accepts an interview, sync to my calendar, send the Zoom invite, draft pre-interview prep notes, and remind me 30 minutes before.
03Workflow
Every Friday, summarize the week's pipeline movement, flag stalled candidates, and post the summary to our team Slack.
04Workflow
When a new job comes in, write the job description, check market salary on Exa, post it to our careers page, and start finding candidates automatically.
05Workflow
When an offer is accepted, sync to Workday, provision IT accounts, and send the welcome pack 14 days before start date.
06Workflow
Every quarter, re-score my talent pool against open roles, send a personalized check-in to anyone who matches, and skip the rest.
02Anatomy of a workflow/ live run

Trigger, condition, branch, action.

A real recruiting workflow rendered the way it runs. Solid green is the active path. Dashed grey is the path the run did not take. Every node is configurable, every gate is auditable.

03Primitives/ four building blocks

Four primitives. Infinite shapes.

Workflows compose from a small, sharp set of primitives. The same four blocks build a triage, a compliance check, a Friday digest, or a 90-day nurture cycle.

Triggers

Anything that happens.

New candidate, stage change, application received, offer accepted, schedule cron, webhook, agent finishes a task. Every event in Vitae can start a workflow.

Conditions

Route by anything.

Score thresholds, role attributes, candidate signals, recruiter availability, working hours, region, custom fields. Boolean, numeric, semantic.

Actions

Do anything.

Send email, draft sequence, book interview, update record, post to Slack, push to Workday, hit your own webhook, call any MCP-exposed tool.

AI judgement

At every step.

Drop an agent into any node. Score, summarize, draft, classify, decide. Use built-in models or your own Claude or ChatGPT.

04Templates/ start from a shape

05Workflow FAQ/ six questions

Questions about workflows.

What teams ask before building their first workflow on Vitae.

No. Workflows are built in a visual editor with triggers, conditions, branches, and actions. Most teams have their first three workflows running in under an hour.
