# Build a process

> The building blocks of a job's screening process: step kinds, tracks, and ordering.

Every job has its own process: an ordered list of steps a candidate works through after being pushed from a shortlist.

## Step kinds

A step can be a review, an interview (human or AI), a message, a file upload, a questionnaire, or a general task. Pick the kind that matches what actually needs to happen at that point.

## Tracks

Not every candidate should walk the same path. Mark a step **applied**, **sourced**, or **all** to control who it applies to, so someone who applied directly and someone you sourced yourself can go through different flows on the same job.

## Reordering and locking

Drag steps to reorder them. Once a step has any real candidate activity on it, it locks: you can't delete it or change its kind, since that would erase history. To retire a locked step without losing that history, archive it instead. Archived steps stop applying to new candidates but leave existing progress untouched.
