  • Define your hiring pipeline stages
  • Identify integrations needed (job boards, calendar, email)
  • Export data from your current system
  • Assign an internal project owner

Phase 2: Configuration (Days 2โ€“3)

  • Set up pipelines and job templates
  • Configure branded career page and custom domain
  • Import existing candidates and open jobs
  • Create email templates for each stage

Phase 3: Team Training (Day 4)

  • Walk recruiters through daily workflows
  • Train hiring managers on scorecards and feedback
  • Document internal processes and SLAs

Phase 4: Launch (Day 5+)

  • Post first jobs through the new system
  • Monitor adoption and gather feedback
