The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system stores, in a repository, a set of configurable rules for managing hiring workflows in an applicant tracking system, wherein each configurable rule in the set of configurable rules includes a trigger representing activity associated with an online network, a condition to be evaluated in response to the trigger, and an action to be performed when the condition is met. Next, the system matches recent activity associated with a candidate in an applicant tracking system to the trigger in a configurable rule from the repository. Next, the system evaluates the condition from the configurable rule using attributes associated with the candidate. When the condition is met by the attributes, the system automatically performs the action specified in the configurable rule to advance the candidate through the hiring workflow in the applicant tracking system.
