Here comes another Two Minute Tuesday, Main Sequence\u2019s series of short videos with tips, tricks, and tutorials to help make you a more powerful PCRecruiter user.<\/p>\n

PCR\u2019s Pipeline is your hub for tracking the recruitment process, and so you\u2019ll want the interview statuses in it to reflect your organization\u2019s own unique workflow. Today we\u2019re going to look at how to set up your database\u2019s pipeline to mirror your process, which is key for effectively monitoring and reporting, plus setting up time-saving features like automated notification emails to candidates and hiring managers.<\/p>\n

When you first get into PCR, a default set of Types and Statuses are already in place. \u2018Types\u2019 are the main categories and \u2018Statuses\u2019 are the subcategories within each Type. For example, we have a Type called \u2018In-Person,\u2019 with Statuses for first interview and second interview beneath it, and we have an \u2018Out-of-Process\u2019 Type, with Statuses to indicate why the candidate was not suitable for this particular opening. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a PCRecruiter admin user, you can adjust the database\u2019s pipeline configuration by clicking System and searching for \u201cInterview Status Codes\u201d. When we go into this area, we\u2019ll see a list of the Statuses to start with. We can edit or delete them with the Action dropdowns, or use the \u2018plus\u2019 icon in the Action menu to create new ones. <\/p>\n

Each Status has a code, which is an abbreviated label for this stage in the process (10-character maximum), a longer description, and an indication of which major Type it belongs under. For example, if we wanted to add a Status for a second telephone interview, we\u2019d click the \u2018Add\u2019 icon, create a code, give it a description, and use the pulldown to associate it with the Telephone Type. The Priority dropdown allows you to define the listing order of the Statuses within a given Type \u2013 they\u2019ll be alphabetical if you leave it at zero. If your organization is required to do EEOC reporting, special codes can be created for that too.<\/p>\n

You may also want to change the major Types. While new Types cannot be added or deleted, the system\u2019s built-in ones can be relabeled or hidden. We\u2019ll do that with this icon in the Action menu. In this screen, we can give the Types new abbreviated codes and long descriptions to suit our needs. We can also use these checkboxes to hide any Types that we don\u2019t need. In this database, many of the Types have already been hidden away, and the first \u2018user defined\u2019 Type has been configured to act as an \u2018Offer\u2019 stage.<\/p>\n

Relabeling the Types and creating custom Statuses gives us lots of flexibility. We could, for example, hide the \u2018Telephone\u2019 Type, re-label \u2018In-Person\u2019 to simply call it \u2018Interviewed\u2019, and then create Statuses under it to track in-person, phone, and video interviews. Just be aware that these settings will apply to all of the users and jobs in this database, so you\u2019ll want to define your Types and Statuses broadly enough to suit all of the sourcing and placement steps you\u2019d need to track.<\/p>\n
