Once connected, SIA automatically syncs your open jobs and candidates so you can run AI-powered matching, prescreening, and interviews. Scores, grades, and shortlists are all managed in SIA's Candidate Listing and Chat. Your team reviews results there and manages candidate movement in Workable directly. > **Note** > > **Note:** Workable must be connected to SIA before any of this applies. If it hasn't been set up yet, ask your IT admin to follow the Workable IT Setup Guide. ### How jobs sync from Workable SIA checks your Workable account every 15 minutes and pulls in every open job automatically — there's no manual job creation needed on your end. For each job it finds, SIA sets up three things automatically: * **Job details** — the role, description, and requirements come across as-is from Workable * **A default resume matching strategy** — a starting set of criteria to score candidates against, based on the job itself, so scoring can begin right away * **Workflow activation** — if the job already has a SIA user assigned, it goes live immediately and starts evaluating candidates If a job doesn't yet have a SIA user assigned, it's held in **Draft** rather than going live — nothing is evaluated or acted on until someone is assigned to own it. ### Candidate sync and shortlisting Alongside jobs, SIA pulls in candidates from Workable every 15 minutes for every active job, evaluates each one against that job's matching strategy, and ranks them by grade in the Candidate Listing — so your team opens a ready-sorted list rather than a raw pile of applications. SIA also reads Workable's own pipeline stages, so scoring reflects where each candidate actually sits. ### A few things to note about this integration The Workable integration today is primarily a **read and score** connection — SIA reads your jobs and candidates from Workable and evaluates them, but doesn't write results back into Workable itself. This means: * **No automatic notes on candidates** in Workable — scores, grades, and evaluation summaries are visible in SIA's Candidate Listing and Chat, not on the candidate's Workable profile * **No automatic stage moves** in Workable — your team reviews AI outcomes in SIA and moves candidates in Workable manually If your team relies on seeing AI results directly inside Workable, reach out to the Senseloaf team at to discuss your specific workflow. ### Interact with your Workable data in SIA Chat Once Workable is connected, you can ask SIA about jobs, candidates, notes, and pipeline stages in plain language directly from SIA Chat. The prompts below are a starting point — explore more from directly within the SIA platform. ```text wrap title="Getting started" What can I do with my Workable integration? ``` ```text wrap title="Jobs and Application Status" How many candidates are in each stage of the [Job Title] pipeline? ``` ```text wrap title="Update Notes" Add a note to [Applicant Name] from [Job Name] in Workable: strong on system design, weak on SQL. ``` ```text wrap title="Stage Changes" Which candidates moved stages today because their score changed? ``` ### Connecting your other tools SIA Chat isn't limited to Workable. Since your other tools are connected to SIA too, you can act on the same candidates and jobs across Slack, Google Workspace, and email without leaving the conversation. Ask SIA to hand off a shortlist, a report, or a scheduling task to whichever tool your team actually works in — it'll route the request to the right connector automatically. ```text wrap title="Share update in channels" Post today's shortlisted candidates to our #hiring Slack channel. ``` ```text wrap title="Export Date to Google Sheet" Export this week's shortlist to a Google Sheet for the hiring manager. ``` ```text wrap title="Send Emails" Send an email invite to [Candidate Name] for the next interview round. ``` ```text wrap title="Schedule Meetings" Schedule a screening call with [Candidate Name] on my calendar for next week ``` ### Setting up and managing your workflow For everything else, writing jobs, configuring agents, activating workflows, screening candidates, and shortlisting, the process is the same as the standard Senseloaf setup.
