How the board is laid out
- Columns are your hiring stages, such as Applied, Matching Interview, Ability Interview, Offering, and Hired. The number at the top of each column is the total number of applicants in that stage across all jobs shown.
- Rows are your jobs. Each row header shows the job title, location, visibility badge (for example Public), and how many applicants it has. Click the arrow at the start of a row to collapse or expand it.
The stages come from your workspace settings. To rename, add, or reorder them, see Applicant Stages.
