When a start date is 10 days out, open an access ticket covering accounts, laptop, and permissions, and assign each item to a named owner.

Ready-made: Start-date access ticket

The job, and what good looks like.

A new hire's first week is often spent waiting for hardware, a login, and payroll details while HR and IT chase each other across email threads. The manager finds out about the start date late, and the candidate's first impression of the company is internal plumbing that does not work. This workflow turns a confirmed start date into a dated checklist: accounts, equipment, permissions, payroll enrollment, and benefits election, each with one named owner and one due date. Access is requested with enough lead time to be provisioned rather than requested on the morning. The payroll roster is updated the day the start is confirmed, so a missing bank detail is caught weeks before the cut-off instead of on it, and benefits enrolment is chased before the same deadline. A human still approves what access someone receives, confirms what the role genuinely needs, and tells the new hire directly when something cannot be ready in time.

  • Accounts ready on day one

You stay in charge.
At every step.

It reads and ranks. People decide about people.

  • It never rejects anyone

    It ranks and summarizes against your written criteria, with a reason for each. Every decision stays with you.

  • Undo what you don't want

    Every step is recorded, and a file it changed can be put back.

  • Candidate data stays contained

    Each automation reaches only the inbox and folders you connect for it.

Where does it run?
On your Mac or Windows computer, in the background. It keeps working after you close its window, and only reaches the folders and apps you connect for each automation.
How does it connect to our CRM and other tools?
Through each app's own connection where it offers one, signed in once by you, or by using the app in a browser the way you would. Each automation gets only the connections you give it, and the tools a page names are examples you can swap for your own.
Does it run when my computer is asleep?
It keeps your computer awake while a job runs and just before a scheduled one. While the computer is closed or off, nothing runs; when it wakes, it checks the inbox, calendar and other sources it watches for anything that arrived meanwhile.
How does my team use it?
Each person who runs automations installs the app. Keep a project in a shared folder, such as Google Drive or a network drive, and teammates can open it and follow every run, while one person owns it and runs it.
Do I need anyone technical to set it up?
No. Download the app, add an automation in plain words, and connect only what that job needs. Nothing runs until you switch it on.

Already have tools for this? Here is the difference.

Your applicant tracking system's automations

Moving candidates between stages and sending template emails.

They can't read a CV against your real criteria or explain why someone made the shortlist.

Flowchart automation tools

Copying records between HR apps.

Every exception becomes another branch someone has to build and maintain.

AI chat assistants

Summarizing a CV when you paste it in.

Applications keep arriving while nobody is asking, and the criteria live in a chat.

AUTOMATE.md

Your routine, written in plain words. It runs on its own, follows your rules, handles the exceptions a flowchart can't, and asks you when it matters. The file stays yours, whichever AI model runs it.
