How do I move candidates through the pipeline?
Use a candidate's stage control for one move, or select several candidates and choose Move to stage for a batch move.
Move candidates
- Open the vacancy's Candidates tab. For one candidate, open the row menu or the stage control on their scorecard and choose the new stage.
- For several completed, scored candidates, select their rows and choose Move to stage in the selection bar.
- A move into Rejected requires a reason, such as Not a fit, Position filled, Withdrew, or Unresponsive. Your workspace can use different reasons. Moving someone out of Hired or Rejected asks you to confirm that you are reversing a recorded decision.
Change your stage names
In Settings, open Pipeline, then Stages. You can rename stages in all six fixed categories: New, In review, Shortlisted, Interview, Hired, and Rejected.
Within the first four categories, you can also add, remove, and reorder stages. Hired and Rejected are rename-only. Kira-AI uses the fixed category for reporting, whatever you call the stage.
Edit rejection reasons
In Settings, open Pipeline, then Rejection reasons. You can rename, reorder, add, remove, or move reasons between the two groups. Removing a reason hides it from future choices; candidates who already have it keep showing it.
Before moving someone, verify their scorecard or compare the shortlist side by side.
