Candidate Processing

Overview

The Candidate Processing flow in Hireforce follows a structured pipeline that guides candidates from initial contact to successful placement. By default, Hireforce provides a pipeline with six fixed stage types: Sourced or Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer and Hired.

However, Hireforce also allows for flexibility and customization:

  • Customizable Pipeline: You can customize the pipeline to better fit your specific recruitment process by creating new stages within each stage type. This ensures that the pipeline aligns with your unique workflow.

  • Reporting and Pipeline Views: Reports and pipeline views for both Jobs and Candidates are dynamically generated based on these stage types, providing relevant insights and tracking according to your custom process.

Application

At this stage, the candidate's profile is added to the pipeline of a job in one of two ways:

Sourced

The candidate is added to the database by a recruiter on Hireforce and is recorded as Sourced.

To source the candidate to a job, you access to an open job on Hireforce, then:

  • Click the +New button to single upload.

  • Click the Upload Cvs/Resume button to bulk upload.

Applied

The candidate applies themselves and is recorded as Applied.

Candidate can apply at the Job public link.

Active Process

Active processes include three stage types: Screening, Interview and Offer.

If you are an Admin or a Member (based on your user permission), you can:

  • Add additional stage names within each stage type to better align with your specific process.

  • You can edit or delete all of stages at Active Process, including 3 stage types.

Hired

Mark as hired

To mark a candidate as hired, move them to the Hired stage in the following 2 ways:

  1. At the job pipeline, drag and drop the application need moving to the Hired stage.

  1. At the candidate profile,

  • On the Job-Related tab, choose the suitable Job.

  • Click the Stage Button that shows the current stage and select Hired.

There will be a pop-up when you move the candidate to the Hired stage. You need to fill in the following information, then click Mark as hired to complete:

  • Hired date is the date that the candidate has been hired.

  • Start date is the date that the candidate starts the job.

  • Hired by is used to determine which the user successfully filled the open job.

Hired info

When the candidate is marked as hired, they will have a Hired info in their application.

It can make your team aware that the candidate is hired for a job.

Hired info includes: Job title, Hired by and Hire date.

Disqualified

When you have reviewed your application, in any stage of the hiring pipeline, and decided that he/she is not fit to be hired for that position, you can disqualify that candidate, you can disqualify candidates with the appropriate disqualification reason.

In Hireforce, when you disqualify an application, you will have to choose a disqualifying reason. This is to prevent you from making mistakes as well as to provide insights into your candidate database.
