The pipeline board shows every candidate for one job as a card, in a column per hiring stage. Moving a candidate forward is one drag.
Step 1: Stages
Each column is a stage, with the number of candidates in it beside the name.
Step 2: Candidate cards
A card shows the candidate's name, their headline, their AI score out of 100 and, beside a coloured dot, the AI's recommendation: Strong match, Proceed with caution or Low match.
Step 3: Drop target
While you drag a card, the column under it is shaded a step darker. Let go to move the candidate there.
Open the board for a job
Go to Pipeline in the sidebar. The board opens on your first open job. Use the job picker at the top right to switch to another one; paused and closed jobs are listed too.
If you have no jobs yet, the page offers to create one. See Create a job with the wizard.
Move a candidate
Drag a card to another column and let go. You can also drag it up or down within a column; the order you leave cards in is kept for everyone.
Every move is recorded with the time it happened and shows up under Recent activity on the dashboard. See Notes, activity and the audit log.
The stages
New workspaces start with six stages:
| Stage | What it means |
|---|---|
| Applied | The application has arrived. |
| AI screen | The candidate is being, or has been, screened. |
| Interview | You are interviewing the candidate. |
| Offer | You are making the candidate an offer. |
| Hired | The candidate accepted. |
| Rejected | The candidate is out of this process. |
Each stage also carries a fixed meaning underneath its name. Analytics rely on that meaning: time to hire, for example, ends when a candidate reaches the Hired stage. See Velocity, quality, experience and roles.
Working on the board together
The board stays current while you work. When a colleague moves a candidate, or a new application arrives, your board picks it up within about ten seconds, without reloading the page. The board checks for changes while its tab is open and pauses when you switch to another tab. An update that arrives while you are in the middle of a drag waits until you let go, so a card never jumps out from under your cursor.
Who can move candidates
Owners, Admins, Recruiters and Hiring Managers can move candidates. Viewers can look at the board but cannot move candidates. See Roles and permissions.
