Applicant Hiring Pipeline

Every interviewer answers the same questions on the same scale for the same requisition. A scorecard cannot be edited once another interviewer has seen it.

Moving a card writes a stage change with a timestamp and an actor. Time in stage is computed from that, not typed in by anybody.

A rejection template that includes the reason is optional and off by default. Sending one is a decision your recruiters make, not one the software makes for them.

Reached-or-passed, so a candidate now at Offer counts in every stage behind it.

Board B costs $14,000 a year for two hires and 984 applications that somebody had to read. The reading time is the hidden cost and it does not appear in any recruiting budget.

Twenty days of the forty-eight are people waiting on other people inside this organisation. That is the part that can be fixed without spending anything.

The fastest source is also the cheapest and produces the most hires. It gets the smallest share of the budget because it produces the fewest applications.

Twenty of the forty-eight days are candidates waiting on people inside this company. Nine were lost during exactly that wait, and none was lost during an interview.

An interviewer cannot read another scorecard until they have written their own. It costs nothing, it is the only defence against a panel converging on the first opinion posted, and it is one row.

Notification rules are yours to set. What is here is a starting point drawn from how the queue actually behaves.
