A Stage is simply a step in your hiring journey, like Screening, Interview, or Offer, that you move candidates through as they progress. With the new permissions system, each stage can have its own access rules, so you decide exactly who gets to see and work with candidates at every point in the process.

Open the Stages tab while setting up your project. At the top, next to Application Stages, click Manage to add new stages, remove ones you don't need, and drag them into the right order.

Just below, the Application Stages section is where the magic happens. You can view Automatic Assignment and Stage Permissions here.

Automatic Assignment works the same way it worked before to assign raters automatically. The automatic assignment permissions allow you limited permission control through the use of access modifiers.

Stage roles can also be added in this view. Click Add members + to bring a team member in, then choose what additional role they should have at each stage. The moment a candidate moves to the next stage, their access adjusts automatically depending on their stage permission (e.g., allowing a specific team member to run background checks on candidates in a specific stage).

Want to give the same role to a whole group of people in one go? Use the Bulk assign dropdown at the top of any stage to apply it across everyone at once.

You've conquered roles and stage permissions. For more detail, read the full Permissions How-To-Guide here.

Happy Hiring!
