mondayfoundMap what already happens
List each automated message, status change and data transfer. Record the trigger, the affected records and the person accountable for its behaviour. Include small rules created inside individual tools: an overlooked reminder can matter as much to a candidate as a major integration. Remove rules that no longer have a clear purpose.
Check how rules interact
A candidate may withdraw while an interview reminder is already queued. A vacancy may close before a delayed application event is processed. Walk through these sequences and agree which state should take priority. Test duplicate events and repeated updates so the same action does not create several conflicting messages or records.
Make failure observable
Decide how the team will notice a missed transfer, an undelivered invitation or a stalled task. Give each alert an owner and a useful next action. Avoid sending so many low-value warnings that important failures become background noise. Keep a manual fallback available for processes that cannot wait for a technical fix.
Schedule a recurring review
Review the inventory after major process changes and at an agreed interval. Include recruiter observations and candidate feedback, not only system logs. Check that departed colleagues no longer own essential steps. The best next automation may be a small repair to an existing workflow rather than a new feature that adds another dependency.
