How to Create and Edit Hiring Stages
BerniePortal’s Recruiting feature allows employers to create custom hiring stages that align with their internal hiring process. Hiring stages represent key steps—such as an in-person interview, phone screen, or reference check. As candidates apply to jobs posted through BerniePortal, they can be seamlessly moved through each stage of your organization’s custom process.
To access:
- Log in to BerniePortal
- Select “Recruiting” in the top navigation menu
- Select “Settings” in the secondary menu
- Under the “Hiring Stages” menu, your employer's current hiring stages will be listed

To create and manage hiring stages:
- Enter the name of the stage in the text field, then select "Add"

- Remove existing hiring stages by hovering over the action wheel next to the hiring stage and selecting “Delete.”

- Re-order existing hiring stages by clicking and dragging on the three dots next to each hiring stage.
