Advance interview rounds automatically with Linear status changes
You move a candidate from 'Backlog' to 'In Progress' in Linear. Their interview job instantly advances to the next round. No manual syncing.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Update Job
Tool to update an existing interview job. use when you need to modify job details after creation.
Why this helps
Interview rounds and Linear status drift apart. A candidate is halfway through round 2, but their job still shows round 1. You lose track of where they actually are.
- Interview job round always matches the candidate's progress in Linear
- No more guessing which round a candidate is actually in
- Progression happens automatically, freeing mental energy for decisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Async Interview to Notis.
- 2Create an automation prompt: 'When a candidate issue moves to 'In Progress' in Linear, advance their interview job to the next round. If status is 'Done', mark the job as completed.'
- 3Select 'Issue Updated' as your trigger.
- 4Test by moving a candidate issue to 'In Progress' and verify the job advances.
Questions about this workflow
What if a candidate moves backward (e.g., from 'In Progress' back to 'Backlog')?
This automation only advances. You'd need a separate automation if you want to downgrade interview rounds.
How do you define 'next round'?
Describe it in your prompt. Example: 'Move from Round 1 to Round 2, or if status is Done, mark Complete.'
