Everybody loves a good statistics report, right? We definitely agree with this notion, and this is why it’s possible for you to work with Stage types. By assigning stage types to your jobs, you will be able to work with a flexible recruitment process, but still with a unified reporting pipeline.


Stage types

When breaking down your pipeline, every recruitment stage falls into one of the following stage types:

💙 Inbox*

🧡 Screening

💜 Interview

💛 Offer

💚 Hired*

*these stage types are only available for the pre-made Inbox and Hired stage and these stage types can’t be removed or reassigned.

How to assign/edit a stage type

Every time you add a custom stage to your process, you will be asked to categorize it as Screening, Interview, or Offer.

If you want to edit the stage type assigned to a job, you can do so at any point. Just head over to the editing mode of the job, and then Stages.

Or open up the recruitment pipeline, find the three dots for more options and here you’ll find the option to reassign stage type:

View the pipeline analytics

Let’s get down to the good parts... your pipeline stats! With assigned stage types, you will be able to get an overview of your current pipeline. Your current pipeline reflects your recruitment process right now and includes your active jobs.

💡 In the screenshot above, you’ll learn that the company currently has 62 candidates in the inbox and that 15 are at one of the interview stages. They can also celebrate that they have 3 offers out.

You’ll see the Current pipeline reports when you view your account's main analytics, and your job's analytics reports (which are accessible to all your hiring team members).

The total number of rejected candidates.

Avg. time to fill

The average time (in days) it’s taken to fill the recruitment/hiring of candidates. This time metric is counted from when the job was first published until the candidates were hired.

Avg. time to hire

The average time (in days) it’s taken to hire candidates. This time metric is counted from when a candidate applied until they were hired.

Use job filters to get more relevant data

To get the relevant data for you, you can use Job filters. This also reflects the pipeline you are currently viewing. This means you can see the current pipeline based on the filters you’re using.

💡 In the example above, you’re seeing the current pipeline of jobs posted in the Marketing department, where the recruiter is set to a specific user.

What does In process mean?

When reviewing your pipeline report, you might notice that you have the stage type In process. This type contains all active stages between, but not including, the Inbox and Hired stages that do not have a stage type assigned. It only affects jobs that have been created before we started using the stage types.
