How a hire moves through Staffer
1
Create a job
Describe the role to the agent. It drafts the brief: the job details, a role description and the criteria you’ll score candidates against, each marked Required or Preferred. Create a job
2
Find candidates
Ask the agent to search Staffer’s candidate database, add people yourself, or publish a listing so people can apply. Every candidate gets a match score for this job. Search for candidates
3
Shortlist and promote
Shortlist the people worth a closer look, then promote them into the job’s pipeline. Promoting sets up their hiring process and a private link to their application. Shortlist and promote
4
Run your process
Each job has its own steps: reviews, questionnaires, interviews, AI interviews and more. Staffer shows each candidate the next action and who it’s waiting on. Build a hiring process
5
Decide
Move candidates to Offer, Hired or Rejected when you’ve made the call. Every change is logged with who made it and when. Change a candidate’s stage
What the agent does, and what you do
In Ask permission mode, the agent asks before it changes anything that matters, such as shortlisting people or editing the process. See What the agent can do.
What Staffer doesn’t do
- It doesn’t write and send messages to candidates on its own. A person on your team sends every message. The only automatic emails are the notices your process sends, such as a link to a questionnaire when it’s the candidate’s turn.
- It doesn’t reject or advance anyone because of a score. Candidates are only rejected automatically if you set up a step to do that, such as a questionnaire with a qualifying question.
- It doesn’t import candidates from another applicant tracking system, and it doesn’t post your jobs to LinkedIn or Indeed. Listings go on your Staffer career page and the public Staffer job board.
