Rules Module with Actions Module

Can the Rules Module and the actions module be used together. I'm building a recruitment site. i have content types [job, job_application] now i need to send two different emails to the recruiter and the jobseeker when a new application is created.

I can do this with Triggers and Actions but triggers doesn't seems to have a filter to send email only when a specific content type is created. but Rules can. So i was wondering if there is any way to integrate Actions Module in to the Rules Module. Is any of this making sense?

Help!
