Hiring Pipeline

A board that moves
the way you do.

System stages keep the spine honest. Custom stages match the shape of your process. Every card carries the match and the social score, so you never lose the thread.

The stages

Seven that never move.
As many custom as you need.

New, Screening Rejected, Shortlisted and Joined are locked by design. The rest are yours.

System stages

Anchors for every pipeline.

The first three columns and the last one are position locked for a reason. They make reports comparable, they make hand offs clean, and they make sure two hiring managers never argue about what counts as shortlisted.

  • New, Screening Rejected, Shortlisted stay at the start
  • Joined is always the end
  • Interviewing, Offer Extended, Offer Declined sit in the middle

Custom stages

For the columns only you need.

Take home. On site. Founder chat. Reference call. Give them a name, pick a color, drop them where they belong. Old candidates move with the change, no migration.

  • Ten color tokens, consistent across every board
  • Drag to reorder within the middle
  • Legacy decisions remap cleanly into new stages

On the board

Cards that tell the story.

Nothing you have to open to understand. Move, scan, decide.

Match and score, on every card

Role match, social score, and last activity sit on the face of every card. No clicks to know where you are.

Drag to decide

Pull a card into a new stage and Rook updates the timeline, notifies the right people, and keeps the record clean.

Forks for parallel roles

A single candidate can sit in two pipelines at once. Progress in one does not erase context in the other.

Swimlanes for teams

Split the board by job, by hiring manager, or by stage. Same data, different lens.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The four locked stages keep their names by design. It is how reporting stays honest across teams. You can rename the middle stages and add as many custom stages as you like.
