Stage Automation

Automatically move candidates between pipeline stages based on score. Configure per job via Edit Stage Automation.
SettingDescription
Starting stageStage where new applications land. Only candidates here are routed.
Low potentialMove candidates at or below a threshold (e.g. score 3 or below).

Both are optional. Candidates between the 2 thresholds stay in the starting stage for manual review.
