Is there a way to filter your contacts and add them to a pipeline

Hi,

I would like to be able to filter my contacts to meet certain criteria (viewing the contacts page)  then add them all to the 'recruitment' pipeline.

Is there a way to do this without adding each one individually?

I don't want to add 'secondary contacts' either as I would like to be able to move each person individually though the pipeline.

Many thanks,
