Getting to Know Automation Modes & Controls

Look, when you first dive into our platform’s automation features, it can feel like a lot. But honestly, once you get comfortable, it’s pretty straightforward. We built Massive to let you pick how much automation fits your hiring style. Whether you want the AI to handle everything from screening candidates to scheduling interviews, or just assist with specific tasks, you’re in control.

From what we hear, companies often start with light automation—letting AI flag promising applicants—then gradually hand over more tasks as they trust the system. The key is that our automation modes and controls are designed to be flexible, adapting to your unique hiring needs.

Starting with Basic Automation Settings

When you log in, your automation dashboard is front and center. It’s meant to be user-friendly, but there’s some nuance. First, you’ll want to set your preferences across three areas: candidate screening, interview scheduling, and follow-up communications.

From our experience, a good starting point is:

• Partial automation for screening — AI flags top candidates but you review
• Full automation for interview scheduling — saves loads of time
• Manual follow-up communications — until you’re comfortable with AI tone

The cool part? The system learns from your choices and customizes automation to fit your company culture better over time.

Fine-Tuning Candidate Screening Automation

This is where AI shines. Our platform analyzes resumes, cover letters, even video responses to rank candidates automatically. But you’re always in the driver’s seat deciding what matters.

Setting Up Screening Criteria

Under “Automation Settings,” you’ll find options to customize:

• Technical Requirements: skills, experience, education, location
• Soft Skills: communication style, culture fit, leadership, teamwork
• Scoring Weights: how much each factor counts, thresholds for advancing or rejecting candidates

You can tweak these anytime if you feel the AI is being too strict or too lenient. Flexibility here means better matches and fewer missed opportunities.

Advanced Screening Controls

If you want to go deeper, our AI can link with skills assessments, do preliminary phone screens, and even factor in social media insights—if that’s relevant to your hiring. Plus, it helps spot bias and suggests ways to keep your process fairer.

Seamless Interview Scheduling and Coordination

Scheduling interviews used to be a real pain—juggling calendars, time zones, and all that back-and-forth. Our platform takes that off your plate by syncing with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, and more.

Automated Scheduling Workflow

Here’s the flow:

1. Candidate passes screening, triggering scheduling
2. System checks interviewer availability in real-time
3. Adjusts for time zones automatically
4. Sends personalized interview invites
5. Handles reminders for everyone
6. Manages cancellations and reschedules smoothly

The AI even learns your team’s preferences—like favoring morning slots—to make scheduling even smarter.

Interview Format Automation

Depending on the role, the system can pick the right interview type for you:

• Video calls (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet)
• Phone interviews with automatic dial-in
• In-person meetings with location details
• Panel interviews with multiple interviewers
• Multi-round interview sequences

Making Communication and Follow-Up Feel Human

This part can be tricky. Automated emails need to sound natural, not robotic. Our AI helps here, but you’ll want to customize templates to match your company’s voice.

Customizing Communication Templates

You can adjust:

• Tone and formality
• Company values and info
• Personalization like interviewer names or role details
• Timing and frequency of follow-ups

The AI also generates dynamic content from candidate info, making each message feel tailored.

Response Management

When candidates reply, the system categorizes responses and acts accordingly:

• Confirmations update calendars
• Reschedule requests trigger new scheduling
• Questions get forwarded to the right team member
• Withdrawals update candidate status and alert recruiters

Advanced Automation Modes for Different Hiring Needs

Not every hiring scenario calls for the same level of automation. We’ve built specialized modes to match your situation:

High-Volume Hiring Mode

This mode cranks up automation to handle bulk processing, group interviews, and faster decisions—ideal for call centers or retail.

Executive Search Mode

Here, human oversight is higher with manual checkpoints, personalized communications, and detailed interview coordination for senior roles.

Seasonal Hiring Mode

Automatic scaling during busy periods, adjusting criteria for urgency—perfect for retail or hospitality peak seasons.

Keeping an Eye on Automation Performance

Automation isn’t something you set once and forget. You need to monitor how it’s doing and tweak it as needed.

Key Performance Metrics

Our platform tracks:

• Quality of candidates identified by AI
• Time-to-hire reductions from automation
• Candidate satisfaction with communication
• Interviewer feedback on scheduling
• Bias detection in automated decisions

Using Data to Improve Settings

If you notice AI rejecting good candidates, you can loosen screening criteria. If scheduling causes conflicts, adjust interviewer availability. The platform even suggests tweaks based on your data.

A/B Testing Automation

Want to optimize further? Test different screening setups or templates with candidate groups and compare results. This helps make smarter decisions backed by real numbers.

Integrating Automation with Your HR Systems

One thing users really appreciate is how well Massive fits right into existing HR workflows. Our integrations keep things smooth and prevent double work.

Common Integration Points

• Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) for seamless data sharing
• HRIS platforms for onboarding automation
• Background check services that trigger automatically
• Skills assessment tools linked directly to candidate profiles
• Video interview platforms for scheduling and recording

Data Synchronization

Candidate data stays synced across all your systems. When you update a status in your ATS, our platform reflects it instantly. That means no duplicate messages or scheduling mishaps.

Troubleshooting Common Automation Challenges

Even with a solid system, a few bumps can happen. Here’s what usually comes up and how to fix it:

Scheduling Conflicts

If interviews overlap or happen when someone’s unavailable, double-check calendar integrations and update interviewer availability. Make sure permissions are correct.

Communication Tone Issues

If emails sound robotic, spend time customizing your templates and use the AI training to refine tone. You can also set approval steps for sensitive messages.

Over-Filtering Candidates

If AI rejects too many qualified applicants, revisit your screening weights and criteria. Look for patterns in rejected profiles and adjust to avoid missing talent.

General troubleshooting steps include:

1. Verify integration connections and permissions
2. Review automation logs for errors
3. Check template customizations
4. Test workflows with sample data
5. Analyze performance metrics for trends
6. Contact support for complex issues
