Candidate stages

Sourced through Offer, and everything after.

Stages are the steps of your hiring process, and every candidate sits in exactly one of them per job.

The default stages

| Stage | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| **Sourced** | You found them. They have not applied. |
| **Applied** | They submitted an application. |
| **Rejected** | You are not moving forward with them. |
| **Phone screening** | A first conversation with a recruiter. |
| **Technical interview** | A skills or craft interview. |
| **Team match** | Meeting the team they would join. |
| **Offer** | An offer is out or being prepared. |
| **Denied** | They turned you down. |
| **Employee** | They accepted and joined. |
| **Offboarding** | They are on their way out. |
| **Alumni** | They used to work here. |

The last four are the workforce end of the list, which is why your board keeps making sense after someone is hired rather than dropping them.

Adding your own stages

If your process has a step the defaults do not cover, add a custom stage for it. Custom stages appear in the list just after Rejected, and they behave exactly like the built-in ones.

Add one when a step genuinely changes what happens next. Extra stages that everyone skips past just make the board harder to read.

Where people start

Applicants land in Applied on their own. Anyone you add yourself, whether sourced or imported, starts in Sourced until you move them along.

After the offer

When someone accepts and joins, move them to Employee and they show up in your workforce records. Offboarding and Alumni cover what comes after, so your hiring columns stay focused on open searches.

Using stages well

- Move people the same day something happens, so the board reflects reality. - Reject clearly rather than leaving people parked, especially if you have stage emails set up. - Someone can sit at a different stage on two different jobs, which is exactly what you want when a candidate is in for more than one role.
