Multiple pipelines can be used to create different hiring processes for different jobs.
All pipelines must "fit" into a single overall reporting pipeline. Here, a reporting pipeline is shown at the top. Below, a pipeline is shown with unique stages that fit up into the reporting pipeline.
The single reporting pipeline is what Workable uses to combine reporting data. If you have multiple pipelines and want to report on both of them at the same time, the reporting pipeline is used.
If you report on just one type of job, that specific pipeline will be used instead to provide a more granular view.
Below, the reporting pipeline at the top would be used when filtering reports for both "Junior Level/Intern" jobs and "Mid Level Commercial" jobs. Rather than seeing the "Hiring Manager" and "VP Interview" stages represented, a single stage called "Interview" would combine that data.
It is not required that pipelines include a stage for every reporting stage. Above, the "Junior Level/Intern" pipeline does not have Shortlisted, Test or Assessment stages at all.
When adding new stages to your pipelines they must always be placed within reporting pipeline stages. In the example below, we are editing a pipeline and have added two stages under "Phone Screen". "Phone Screen" is a reporting pipeline stage.
Once your reporting pipeline is set up, it is unusual to make changes. The reporting pipeline can be edited as needed, but this will impact all pipelines in the account.
A typical reporting pipeline might look something like this:
- Sourced/Applied
- Screening
- 1st Round Interviews
- Assessments
- 2nd Round Interviews
- Offer
- Hired
