Candidate stages

The default hiring stages from Sourced to Alumni, and how to add custom stages.

Stages are the steps of your hiring process. Each candidate is in exactly one stage per job.

Default stages

| Stage | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **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. |
| **Declined** | They declined your offer. |
| **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, so your board keeps making sense after someone is hired.

Custom stages

Add a custom stage for a step the defaults do not cover. Custom stages appear just after Rejected and behave like built-in ones. Add one only when a step changes what happens next.

To rename or delete a custom stage, open a job's pipeline in Jobs and right-click the stage (or press and hold it on a phone), or click its ⋯. Renaming changes it on every job. Before a stage is deleted you see who is still in it, by name when it's three people or fewer, and they move to Applied. The built-in stages can't be renamed or deleted.

Starting stage

Applicants land in Applied automatically. Anyone you add yourself, sourced or imported, starts in Sourced.

After the offer

Move someone to Employee when they accept and join, and they appear in your workforce records. Offboarding and Alumni cover what comes after. The day after someone's End date, they move to Alumni on their own, so Employee only lists people who work here now. Moving someone back to Employee clears a past end date.

Tips

- Move people the same day something happens. - Reject clearly rather than leaving people parked, especially if you have stage emails set up. - A candidate can sit at different stages on different jobs.
