Recommend Hire-or-Train When a New Role Opens
When a new open role is added to Airtable, an agent compares the role's required tech against the team's existing skills inventory and posts a Slack recommendation: train…

What it does
The moment a hiring manager files a new open role, this workflow decides whether the requirement is already latent on the team. It reads the role's required skills, scores every employee against them using the shipped-work skills inventory, and returns a clear hire-or-train call with named internal candidates ranked by closeness.
When to use it
Run it whenever a requisition is created and you want to avoid hiring for skills you already have one Friday-afternoon course away from. It turns reflexive external hiring into a deliberate build-vs-buy decision.
How it works
- 1A new row in the Airtable open-roles table triggers the run.
- 2The agent pulls the role's required skills and the full team skills inventory from Airtable.
- 3A logic step scores each person's overlap, flagging near-matches (one or two missing skills) versus genuine gaps.
- 4The agent drafts a recommendation: train the closest internal candidate, or open an external search.
- 5It posts the verdict with candidate names and reasoning to the hiring Slack channel.
