Hiring pipeline template

A free hiring pipeline board, a lightweight applicant tracker for growing teams. Each candidate is a card that moves through screening, interviews and offer, with a checklist for the steps of your process. Labels show the role and the source of the application, and the whole hiring team sees the same up-to-date picture.
