Open Scheduled in the sidebar to see your requests, switch them on or off, and make new ones.
Scheduled: Review new applicants weekdays at 6:00 PM, a weekly hiring report switched off, and suggestions to prep today's interviews, nudge unbooked candidates, take next steps on reviews, and check on offers out

​
Make one

Click New, or start from a suggestion:
  • Prep today’s interviews: a brief for each, with what to ask and what to check, weekdays at 7:30 AM
  • Review new applicants: reviews saved and declines drafted, weekdays at 6:00 PM. It starts on your job with the most new people.
  • Nudge unbooked candidates: a note drafted to each person who hasn’t picked a time after their link and Hotfix’s reminder, weekdays at 10:00 AM
  • Next steps on reviews: invites drafted for good fits nobody acted on and declines for not a fit, Mondays and Thursdays at 9:00 AM
  • Check on offers out: a check-in drafted when an offer has gone quiet, Tuesdays at 10:00 AM
  • Weekly hiring report: the week in charts, and who’s waiting on a decision, Fridays at 4:00 PM
A suggestion you’ve already scheduled isn’t offered again. Each request has what it asks, the days and time it runs, its model, and optionally a job. You can also pick Schedule this… from a conversation’s menu, or New scheduled request from ⌘K.

How a run works

  • Each run is a conversation of its own, through the same rules as any other: it reads and drafts, and anything that sends waits for you to press Send.
  • Nobody is watching a run, so it doesn’t stop partway to ask. It does all its reading and drafting first, and ends with what’s waiting for you, or a line saying there was nothing to do.
  • A run shows in the sidebar only when it needs you: a change to allow, a question, or a turn that failed. Scheduled counts those. The rest wait on the request’s page, without a notification.
  • If the time passes while Hotfix is closed or your Mac is asleep, the request runs once when it’s back.
  • If the last run still waits on you, the next one is skipped.

Manage them

Each request has an on and off switch. Open one for Run now, Edit, Duplicate, Delete, and its past runs. Requests run on your Mac, so Hotfix has to be open for them to run.
