Common Concerns:

• The default hiring process stages work well enough for my team, but they aren't an accurate representation of our hiring workflow.
• My team completes background checks on candidates as part of the hiring process, but the sequencing in the system doesn't mirror how our team does things.
• Some of the positions we hire require different steps when evaluating candidates. 

The new Hiring Process features give your team the ability to create customized hiring processes that better reflect your hiring workflows. After creating a custom hiring process you can assign it to individual job records, allowing your team to accurately reflect how your hiring workflows may differ from job to job. Additionally, your team can take advantage of added flexibility in your custom hiring processes with the new Background Check stage.
