Automation · Recruiting

Good applicants won't wait for your reply.

NordFlux automates your applicant management: acknowledgement of receipt within minutes, documents filed in a structured way, the relevant department reminded with a deadline. Anyone who stays silent for days amid a skills shortage loses candidates to faster employers. You can digitalise your recruiting process without having to introduce a new HR software.

The problem

Applications get lost in the inbox.

In many SMEs the recruiting process runs through an info@ mailbox and forwarded emails. That is exactly where the candidates you urgently need get lost.

  • 01The application lands in a shared mailbox and waits until someone happens to notice it and forwards it.
  • 02The relevant department gives no feedback for weeks because no one reminds them systematically.
  • 03Applicants receive no acknowledgement of receipt for days and sign somewhere else in the meantime.
  • 04Rejections get put off, and applicant data stays in the mailbox longer than the GDPR deletion deadlines allow.
Use cases
01

Automate applicant management: five building blocks that work right away.

We don't build a corporate workflow, we automate the steps where you lose candidates today.

01

Acknowledgement of receipt right away

Every application, whether by email, form or job portal, triggers a personal acknowledgement of receipt within a few minutes. With a contact person, the next step and a realistic timeframe instead of a standard phrase.

Impact Reply in minutes instead of days
02

File documents in a structured way

Cover letter, CV and references are pulled automatically from the email and filed per candidate, for example in SharePoint with clean naming by position and date. No more searching for the PDF in the third forwarded email.

Saving 15–30 min per application
03

Forwarding to the department with a deadline

The responsible department is sent the documents automatically, with a clear deadline for feedback. If no answer comes, the system keeps reminding until a decision is documented.

Impact No candidate is left waiting
04

Automatic appointment suggestions

If the department says yes, the candidate automatically receives an invitation with available slots from the real calendars of the people involved. The email ping-pong over an interview time disappears completely.

Saving 2–4 h per week
05

Respectful rejections, deletion deadlines in view

Rejections go out on time and in your tone of voice, not weeks later as a bulk email. At the same time the system remembers the retention period for applicant data and reminds you of the deletion or initiates it.

Impact GDPR deadlines met
Tools

Digitalise your recruiting process with the systems you already have.

Whether the application comes in via Outlook, through your website or from a job portal: we choose the tool to fit your environment, not the other way around.

Microsoft 365
Power Automate

If your company works with Outlook, SharePoint and Teams, we build the recruiting workflow directly into Microsoft 365. Inbox, filing and reminders then run where your team is already working.

Flexible and self-hosted
n8n

When applications come together from several sources such as a website form, job portals and email, n8n connects everything in one workflow. Self-hosted on request on a server in Germany, so your applicant data stays with you.

AI support
AI agents

An AI agent reads incoming documents, assigns them to the right position and prepares draft replies. The decision on an invitation or rejection is still made by a person, the agent only takes over the tedious work.

How we work

The 30-day model.

From the first analysis to a running recruiting workflow in 30 days, at a fixed price instead of an open timesheet.

1

Free initial analysis

In 60 minutes we go through your current recruiting path: where applications come in, who decides, where things get stuck. No obligation and no preparation on your part.

2

Concept and fixed price

You get a clear proposal: which steps are automated, which systems are involved, what it costs. One price, no surprises.

3

Implementation

We build the workflow in your environment and test it with real cases before it goes live. Your team sees every step and can step in at any time.

4

Handover and control

You receive clear documentation and a briefing. The workflow belongs to you, you can adjust it yourself or have us carry on.

More than recruiting

It's not only applications running through your mailbox.

Invoices, enquiries, orders: the same logic of receipt, filing, forwarding and deadline works in almost any process. On the overview page you can see what else can be automated in your company.

Frequently asked questions
05

What HR managers often ask.

Brauchen wir eine neue Bewerbermanagement-Software, um den Prozess zu automatisieren?

Nein, in den meisten KMU reicht es, die vorhandenen Systeme zu verbinden. Wir automatisieren auf Basis von Outlook, SharePoint, Ihrem Website-Formular oder Jobportal-Eingängen. Eine eigene Recruiting-Software lohnt sich erst bei sehr hohem Bewerbungsaufkommen, und selbst dann lässt sie sich in den Workflow einbinden.

Wie lange dürfen wir Bewerberdaten nach einer Absage aufbewahren?

Üblich sind in der Praxis bis zu sechs Monate nach Abschluss des Verfahrens, weil sich Fristen aus dem AGG daran orientieren, danach werden die Daten gelöscht. Eine längere Aufbewahrung, etwa für einen Talentpool, braucht die ausdrückliche Einwilligung des Bewerbers. Die Automatisierung überwacht diese Fristen und erinnert an die Löschung. Die konkrete Frist für Ihr Unternehmen klären Sie mit Ihrer Datenschutzberatung, wir liefern die technische Umsetzung, keine Rechtsberatung.

Wirken automatische Antworten auf Bewerber nicht unpersönlich?

Eine schnelle, gut formulierte automatische Antwort wirkt persönlicher als zwei Wochen Funkstille. Die Vorlagen schreiben wir gemeinsam in Ihrem Ton, mit echtem Ansprechpartner und konkretem nächsten Schritt. Alles, was individuelle Einschätzung braucht, bleibt bei Ihren Leuten.

Was kostet es, das Bewerbermanagement zu automatisieren?

Bewerbermanagement automatisieren kostet bei NordFlux einen Festpreis, den wir nach der kostenlosen Erstanalyse nennen. Wie hoch er ausfällt, hängt davon ab, wie viele Eingangskanäle und Schritte beteiligt sind, aber Sie bekommen einen Festpreis für die Umsetzung, keinen offenen Stundenzettel. Als Digitalisierungsberatung können wir zudem prüfen, ob eine BAFA-Förderung für Ihr Vorhaben infrage kommt.

Wie schnell ist der automatisierte Bewerbungsprozess einsatzbereit?

Ein automatisierter Bewerbungsprozess ist bei NordFlux in der Regel innerhalb von 30 Tagen einsatzbereit. Wir arbeiten im 30-Tage-Modell: von der Erstanalyse über Konzept und Umsetzung bis zur Übergabe. Ein Workflow aus Eingangsbestätigung, Ablage und Weiterleitung läuft oft schon nach zwei bis drei Wochen produktiv. Danach erweitern wir bei Bedarf um Terminvorschläge, Absagen und Löschfristen.
