Consult your SilkRoad Recruiting customer administrator for more information about company-specific hiring stage information.

Hiring stage

Description

Captured Online

Any candidates captured from an online source such as an online job board and are associated with a job posting during the capture process. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Job Applicant

Any candidates that applied to a job posting at the SilkRoad Recruiting-hosted external, internal or third-party board. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Captured Offline

Any candidates captured from a recruiter’s local PC or network, using the Upload Candidate tool and associated with a job posting during the capture process but not flagged with a specific source. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Resume Review

Candidates who are being reviewed for an open position. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Interviewing

Candidates whom a recruiter or hiring manager is currently in contact with and screening or interviewing. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Pre-employment Screening

Candidates have gone through the interview process and need pre-employment screening such as a background check or assessment testing prior to formally extending an offer. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Offer Approval

Candidates to whom an offer will be extended, but the offer is being reviewed by Hiring Manager or other company officers. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Offer Extended

Candidates who have been extended and have accepted employment offers, but whose new hire paperwork has not been processed. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Hired

Candidates who have accepted the offer and are now employees of the company.

Offer Declined

Candidates who have declined an offer of employment from the company. When a candidate is moved into this stage, all information associated with their original offer is reset. Moving the candidate back into an earlier Offer stage will allow a Recruiter to build and extend a new offer. These candidates are placed in the Shared Hiring Stage called "Talent Pool (consider for future)" when the job is closed.

Talent Pool (consider for future)

Candidates that were rejected for a specific position but may be considered for future positions. When a job is closed, all associated candidates except the person hired go to this stage automatically. For this reason, it is important for a recruiter to properly manage the candidates associated with a job before closing a job. If a candidate is not being considered for a position, a recruiter can manually move a candidate to this shared stage and make the candidate available for other recruiters to consider for their own open opportunities. This is a shared stage.

Open Prospects

Candidates who have submitted a resume through your web site for general consideration but are not indicating interest in a specific job posting. Any candidates uploaded by a recruiter without a job association will also be found here. This is a shared stage.

Archives (do not consider)

Candidates who were rejected for a specific position and prefer not to be considered for future positions. This is a shared stage.

Note: Your SilkRoad Recruiting customer administrator can contact the Customer Care Center to prevent candidates from automatically being moved to the "Talent Pool (consider for future)" folder after a job has closed.
