Using Dual Pipelines

Manage separate pipelines for clients and candidates.

What this does

Dual pipelines give you two separate kanban boards — one for client business development and one for candidate management. This reflects the two-sided nature of recruitment.

When to use it

Use the client pipeline to track new business and the candidate pipeline to track applicants.

Client pipeline stages

  • Prospect — potential client identified
  • Meeting — initial meeting scheduled
  • Terms Agreed — agreement on fees and terms
  • Active Client — placing candidates
  • Dormant — no current vacancies

Candidate pipeline stages

  • Sourced — candidate identified
  • Screened — initial review
  • Interview — client interviews
  • Offer — offer stage
  • Placed — successfully placed

Step by step

  1. Go to Pipeline in the main menu
  2. Use the tabs to switch between Client and Candidate views
  3. Manage each pipeline independently
  4. Link candidates to client job postings across both pipelines

Tips

  • A healthy recruitment business needs activity in both pipelines
  • Use the client pipeline to forecast upcoming vacancy volume
  • Dashboard metrics show activity across both pipelines
