OVERVIEW

Common Concerns:

• The default hiring process stages work well enough for my team, but they aren't an accurate representation of our hiring workflow.
• There are stages and statuses we would like to use when tracking candidates, but they aren't available by default.
• Some of the positions we hire require different steps when evaluating candidates

Description:

• You can now create Custom Stages and Statuses to use in your Hiring Processes.
• Custom Stages and Statuses allow you to amend your Hiring Processes to reflect key events in your organization's hiring workflows that you were unable to represent previously.

Notes: 

• Only the default stages are tied to key features like interview scheduling, background checks, offer letters, etc.
  • Disabling a default stage in a hiring process might prevent your team from using those key features when managing your candidates. 
• Custom stages and statuses only allow for the function to post a comment.
