Getting started
Eight steps, about two hours
Work through them in order. You can stop after step four and already be running a real pipeline.
- 01Create your agency and invite the teamSign up with your agency email, name your agency, and invite recruiters, background investigators, and command staff. Every plan includes unlimited seats, so there is no reason to share a login.5 minutes
- 02Create your first positionName the position, set the requirements, and choose whether to start from the law enforcement, fire, or EMS pipeline template or build stages from scratch.10 minutes
- 03Shape your stages and gatesAdd, rename, and reorder stages until they match the process you actually run. Add gate criteria where a candidate must not advance, and attach the tasks each stage requires.20 minutes
- 04Import your current candidatesUpload the spreadsheet you are working from today. Map the columns once, choose the stage each candidate is already in, and the pipeline is live with real people in it.15 minutes
- 05Write your message templatesStart with the four that matter most: application received, test scheduled, result notification, and a status update during background. Merge fields fill in the name, position, and next step.30 minutes
- 06Attach a nurture sequencePick a stage, add the messages and the waits between them, and turn it on. It runs for every candidate who enters that stage from then on, pausing whenever someone replies.20 minutes
- 07Publish your career siteTurn on the branded jobs page or embed the application form into the site you already run, then point your job board postings and campaigns at it.15 minutes
- 08Open the candidate portalSend portal invitations to your active candidates. From that point they can see where they stand, upload what you need, and message your recruiter.5 minutes
