How to Create and Edit Hiring Stages

BerniePortal’s Recruiting feature allows you to create custom hiring stages to match your employer’s internal hiring process. Hiring stages represent steps in the hiring process, such as an In-Person Interview or Reference Check. As candidates apply to jobs posted via BerniePortal, candidates can be moved through your employer’s custom hiring stages.


To create and manage hiring stages:

  1. Select the “Recruiting” tab in the top navigation menu, then select the "Settings" tab from the secondary navigation menu. 

  2. Under the “Hiring Stages” menu, your employer's current hiring stages will be listed. 
  3. Enter the name of the stage in the text field, then select "Add."

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

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