SIA for Notion
Screen candidates from your Notion board and write results back, without rebuilding your setup elsewhere
Some teams run hiring entirely out of Notion — a candidate database as the pipeline, plus wiki pages for levelling rubrics, comp bands, and interview guidance. Connecting Notion lets SIA plug directly into that setup instead of asking you to duplicate it somewhere else. It can screen whoever's already on the board, write results back into the same rows, and answer hiring questions straight from your own internal docs.
Notion grants access page by page, not all at once. During the connection step below, you'll choose exactly which pages SIA can see — anything you don't select stays invisible to SIA even after the connection succeeds. Decide ahead of time which candidate database and wiki pages you want SIA to use so you don't have to repeat this step later.
Connecting Notion
#- In Chat, open Connectors from the sidebar
- Find the Notion card and click Connect Notion
- A Notion sign-in tab opens — sign in with your Notion account
- On Notion's authorisation screen, click Select pages, then tick your candidate database and any wiki pages you want SIA to use
- Confirm the selection — you're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads Connected
If you skip Select pages or leave your candidate database unticked, SIA connects successfully but sees nothing. If SIA says it can't find your database, the page was most likely never shared with it rather than the connection being broken. To fix this, open the page in Notion → click ••• in the top right → Connections → add SIA. The same applies to any new hiring pages you create later — they won't appear to SIA automatically and need to be shared the same way.
What you can do once connected
#Once Notion is connected, SIA can work with the pages you shared:
- Import your candidate database and screen everyone in it — SIA reads the rows in your database and runs each candidate through screening
- Write scores and stages back into the exact rows they came from — matched row by row, so re-running a screen doesn't create duplicate entries
- Answer questions from your hiring wiki — levelling rubrics, comp bands, interview loop structure — instead of giving a generic answer
- Add a candidate brief as a new page or drop a comment on a card — so notes live inside Notion alongside everything else
- Turn a role brief already in Notion into a hiring workflow — no retyping the job description elsewhere

A few things to note
#- Nothing is written to Notion without your approval. Every change SIA makes — a grade, a stage move, a comment — is shown to you for review before it lands.
- Resumes stored as files in Notion are read directly. If a resume is a Google Drive link instead, Google Drive needs to be connected too — otherwise SIA can't follow the link.
Disconnecting Notion
#- Go to Connectors in the sidebar
- On the Notion card, click Disconnect
This removes SIA's access to every page it was granted. If you reconnect later, you'll need to go through Select pages again from scratch.
