Hiring Funnel

What is a Hiring Funnel?

A hiring funnel is a structured process for recruiting and hiring candidates, consisting of several stages from sourcing to the final hire. It helps companies filter out unsuitable candidates and focus on those who are a good fit. The hiring funnel is similar to a sales funnel, where candidates progress through different stages based on their qualifications and interview performance.

Key Stages of a Hiring Funnel

• Sourcing: Identifying potential candidates through job postings, referrals, or recruiting platforms.
• Screening: Reviewing resumes and conducting initial interviews to assess fit.
• Interviews: Conducting multiple rounds of interviews to evaluate skills, culture fit, and experience.
