What does the 100Hires Slack integration do?

The 100Hires Slack integration posts a notification into a Slack channel you choose when something important happens in hiring, starting with every new application and including interview reminders and other key updates. It is built so your hiring team sees activity in the channel they already watch all day, instead of waiting on an ATS tab or an email digest. The candidate record, with the AI Score, resume and pipeline stage, stays in 100Hires where you act on it.

No. Slack is a team chat tool, not an applicant tracking system, which is why teams that try to run hiring out of Slack end up searching channels for resumes and losing track of who is at which stage. 100Hires is the ATS: it holds the pipeline, the AI Score, resumes, Knockout questions and Evaluation Forms, and the Slack integration pushes notifications into Slack so your team sees new applicants fast.

How do I connect Slack to 100Hires?

In 100Hires go to Settings then Integrations, find the Slack for notifications card and click Connect. You pick the Slack workspace, choose the channel where 100Hires should post, and approve the connection. New-applicant notifications start landing in that channel right away, and you can disconnect anytime from the same screen.

Does it notify me about every new applicant?

Yes. Once Slack is connected, 100Hires posts a notification to your chosen channel the moment a candidate applies to a job, so nobody has to refresh the pipeline to learn that someone new came in. If you would rather be pinged only for specific events than for every applicant, you can route those through Zapier instead.

Can I send 100Hires notifications to a specific Slack channel?

Yes. During setup you choose exactly which Slack channel 100Hires posts to, so new-applicant notifications go to the one place your hiring team already watches, whether that is a shared hiring channel or a per-role channel. You can change the channel by reconnecting from Settings then Integrations in 100Hires.

Can I get a Slack message when a candidate reaches a certain stage?

The native 100Hires Slack integration focuses on new-applicant notifications. For a Slack message when a candidate reaches a specific Pipeline stage, connect 100Hires to Zapier and use the New Candidate in Stage trigger to post to Slack. That keeps the simple new-applicant ping native while Zapier handles the more specific routing.

Is the Slack integration two-way, can I action candidates from Slack?

The native 100Hires Slack integration is outbound: it pushes notifications into Slack, and you review, score and move candidates in 100Hires. If you want to act from Slack, connect Zapier, which can move a candidate to a stage or create one in 100Hires from a Slack trigger and send approval requests with buttons. So the native ping stays one-way for simplicity, and Zapier makes it two-way when you need that.

Do you integrate with Microsoft Teams?

The native chat integration in 100Hires is Slack for notifications. If your team runs on Microsoft Teams instead, you can route 100Hires events to a Teams channel through Zapier, which supports the New Candidate, New Candidate in Stage and Job Published triggers. Email and in-app notifications in 100Hires reach everyone regardless of which chat tool your team uses.

Does the Slack integration cost extra?

The Slack integration is part of 100Hires rather than a paid add-on, so connecting your workspace does not add a separate fee beyond your plan. You can see current plan pricing at https://100hires.com/pricing. Most teams connect Slack on day one alongside their email and calendar so the whole hiring workflow runs from one place.

Slack Integration

The 100Hires Slack integration sends a notification into a Slack channel you choose the moment a candidate applies. Connect it once in Settings then Integrations, pick your workspace and a channel, and your hiring team sees new applicants where they already sit all day.

The integration is outbound: 100Hires posts the alert into Slack, and you review, score and move the candidate back in 100Hires. This page covers what the Slack integration does, how to switch it on, and how to route more specific events to Slack when a new-applicant ping is not enough.

A strong candidate applies and nobody notices for a day

The fastest team to reply usually wins the candidate, and the clock starts the second someone hits apply. The problem is where that signal goes. A new application drops into an ATS tab nobody has open, or into an email alert that lands under fifty other unread messages.

By the time a recruiter checks, hours have passed, the hiring manager still has no idea the person exists, and a good candidate is already three steps into a process somewhere quicker. The work happened; the awareness did not.

Most teams paper over the gap with weekly status spreadsheets and long email threads to hiring managers. Those go stale the moment they are sent, and busy managers stop opening them.

Slack is where most hiring teams already talk all day. Putting the new-applicant signal in the channel they already watch closes the gap: recruiter and hiring manager see the same candidate at the same time, and the first reply goes out in minutes. Here is how that works in 100Hires.

The same fast-response habit pays off across the rest of hiring. Pair the Slack ping with recruitment automation so the first follow-up sends itself, keep the whole team aligned with collaborative hiring, and let your hiring managers stay in the loop from the channel they already use.

The Slack integration at a glance

Setup is short and the scope is simple. Here is exactly what the Slack integration needs and what it does once it is on.

What the 100Hires Slack integration actually does

It does one thing well: it makes sure a new candidate never sits unseen. Connect your workspace, pick a channel, and 100Hires posts there the moment someone applies, so the team in Slack finds out first and replies fast. It is a notification bridge, not a second place to run hiring.

Everything that decides a hire still happens in 100Hires. The pipeline, the AI Score, Knockout questions, Evaluation Forms and your searchable Talent Pools all stay in the ATS, and the Slack notification points straight back to them.

If you want more than a new-applicant ping, Zapier extends the same idea to stage changes and other events. That keeps the native integration simple and dependable while leaving room to route the exact moments your team cares about.

100Hires with Slack connected versus email alerts on their own

Where 100Hires is not the fit: if you make one hire a year, an email alert and a glance at the pipeline may be all you need. The native integration is outbound by design; acting from Slack runs through Zapier, not a built-in slash command.

The point is speed and shared visibility on new applicants, with the real hiring work, scoring, screening and candidate tracking, kept where it belongs.
