Introduction
Your Hiring Pipeline is more than a way to organise applicants. When configured correctly, you'll have a streamlined system that's highly customisable to your needs, automated to handle most of the initial sorting work before you even need to view a new application.
Before publishing a job, configure these settings:
You can find the above settings in two different places, depending on whether you want to set defaults for all future jobs on a company level or to customise them for a specific job.
Finding Company-Level Settings
These settings automatically apply to all new jobs, unless different settings are configured for a specific job.
To configure company-level default settings for your hiring pipeline:
Go to Dashboard > Your Hiring Preferences widget.
Select Hiring Preferences.
Finding Job-Specific Settings
These settings take priority over the company-level default settings.
Go to Your Jobs.
Open a job page.
Select the Settings tab.
You'll find the same settings as those in Hiring Preferences, but any changes made here will only affect the selected job.
⚠️ Permissions Required
You must have the appropriate permissions to edit Hiring Preferences. If you cannot access these settings, contact your company's profile administrator for assistance.
1️⃣ Hiring Pipeline
Define the stages that reflect your recruitment workflow in the Hiring Pipeline settings. The default stages (Unrated, Not a Fit, Maybe, Perfect Fit, and Declined) are used for the initial sorting of applicants and cannot be changed. You can, however, create additional stages and arrange them to match your recruitment process.
This gives you a structured way to track applicant progress and maintain a consistent recruitment workflow across your job postings.
2️⃣ Screening Questions
Quickly identify suitable applicants and speed up the evaluation process by configuring Screening Questions. Create dedicated questions for your jobs to gather key information from applicants early in the hiring process.

3️⃣ Preferences for Applicants' Location
Recruiting for a specific office location, country or region? Set your Applicants' Location preferences to prioritise applicants from specified locations. These preferences help automatically sort incoming applications.
4️⃣ Jobs Reply Automation
Automatically send emails when candidates move between stages in the hiring pipeline. This keeps them in the loop throughout the recruitment process and reduces manual administration.
❗Important
Changes made to Hiring Preferences only apply to future job postings.
The buttons above open dedicated instruction articles for each Hiring Preference, including instructions for configuring settings for specific jobs.
🚀 Pipelines in Action
Your pipeline automatically sorts incoming applications into the most appropriate default stages, based on:
Answers to screening questions.
Matches to preset location preferences.
This helps you spot suitable applicants sooner and reduces manual sorting at the start of the recruitment process.
Each job includes an Applications tab, where all pipeline stages are shown as sub-tabs. These sub-tabs show how many applicants are currently in each stage for the selected job, helping you review applicants and advance them through the later stages of your hiring pipeline.
