Hiring guide
Keep your hiring pipeline moving
Design stages around decisions, make ownership clear and review candidates who are waiting.
Give every stage a purpose
Each stage should describe a meaningful step in assessing a person for a role. Define what allows an application to enter, who reviews it and what completes it. A short, understandable process is easier to maintain than many columns with overlapping meanings.
Review the waiting work
During a pipeline review, focus on candidates with no clear next step, interviews awaiting feedback and decisions awaiting approval. Assign an owner and a next action. In Draft, you can shape hiring stages for each job and review applications within that process.
When closing an application, record the relevant context and communicate the outcome. Treat a hiring decision for one role separately from whether the person could be relevant to future work.
