Recruitment

Pipelines and scorecards

Set up the hiring stages candidates move through, and what interviewers score them on.

Set these up once and reuse them for every job: a pipeline is the stages a candidate moves through, and a scorecard is what interviewers rate them on.

Create a pipeline template

Pipeline templatesPipeline templates

  1. Open Recruitment → Pipeline and select Create Template.
  2. Workflow details: name the pipeline, for example Engineering hiring.
  3. Choose stages: add the stages in order, for example Applied → Screening → Interview → Offer. For each stage you can set a time limit and whether a scorecard is required before candidates move on.
  4. Review & create: choose whether to set it as your default workflow, then select Create Workflow.

New jobs use the default pipeline unless you choose another when posting the job.

Create a scorecard template

  1. Open Recruitment → Scorecard and select Create Template.
  2. Scorecard details: name it and choose the rating scale.
  3. Evaluation sections: select + Add Section for each area (for example Technical skills), then + Add Competency Item for each thing interviewers rate within it.
  4. Review: select Create Scorecard.

Tip

A stage that requires a scorecard stops candidates being moved on until someone has submitted one. That keeps decisions documented.
