❗️You can customize the pipelines in your settings and adjust them for each job you're hiring for.
Set up your company’s hiring pipeline
- On your sidebar, go to Settings
- Scroll down until People
- Select Recruitment
- Click on Processes tab
A window will appear with the hiring pipeline information, and the multiple types of stages available.
Types of stages
- Screening: The initial stage of the hiring process in which the employer reviews resumes and applications to determine which candidates meet the basic qualifications for the position.
- Interview: Once the recruiter has identified a group of qualified candidates, they will typically conduct interviews to learn more about each candidate's qualifications, experience, and fit for the position and the company culture.
- Assessment: In some positions, the recruiter may also ask candidates to complete assessments or roleplays that measure their skills, knowledge, or aptitude for the position.
- Offer: Once the recruiter has identified the best candidate for the position, they will extend a job offer. This offer will typically include details such as salary, benefits, and start date, and may also include contingencies such as a background check or drug screening.
Also, there are two fixed stages:
- New: where incoming applications will arrive
- Hired: the stage you can move candidates to once they are ready to be converted and onboarded to Factorial.
