Zoho Recruit | Hiring Pipeline

Setting up your Hiring Pipeline

Managing the hiring process should be the top priority for any recruiter. An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) can make this easy for you. The Hiring Pipeline gives you a 360 degree perspective of your job openings.

Zoho Recruit's Hiring Pipeline is a collection of the stages in a recruitment process. The process to follow after candidates are associated with a particular job opening may vary for each organization, but the default Hiring Pipeline that we offer looks like this:


The stages that you see contain appropriate Candidate Statuses. For example, the Client Review stage contains all the client-related candidate statuses such as Submitted to Client, Approved by Client" and Rejected by Client. Candidates with any of these statuses will therefore be grouped in the Client Review stage.


Setting up your Hiring Pipeline
