Recruitment Planning

Plan every hire before the first application.

Raise requisitions, route them for approval, open jobs and attach the right hiring workflow, all in CollectivHire. Recruiting starts on requirements everyone has already agreed, not on a request buried in an email thread.

  • Multi-role requisitions
  • Multi-level approvals
  • Reusable workflows

Requisition Management

One requisition for every role a team needs.

Capture a hiring need the way it actually arrives. A single requisition can cover several job roles, each with its own number of openings, so a team asking for three backend engineers, two QA engineers and a DevOps engineer raises one request, not six.

Add the department, location, hiring manager, target date and whether the role is a new position or a replacement. Recruiters get the full context up front, and approvers see the total headcount before they sign off.

  • Multiple roles per requisition
  • Openings per role
  • Hiring manager & target date
  • New position or replacement

Approvals

Nothing goes live until the right people approve it.

Route requisitions and jobs through a multi-level approval chain, such as hiring manager, then department head, then HR. Each approver can approve or disapprove with comments, so feedback stays attached to the request.

Everything waiting on a decision sits under Pending for Approval, so approvers know what needs their attention and recruiters can see where each request has reached.

Job Management

Every job, its status and its pipeline on one board.

Jobs move through clear lifecycle states: Draft, Pending for Approval, Active, Hold, Closed and Disapproved. Status tabs show how many sit in each, so you can see at a glance what is open, what is waiting and what has stalled.

Every job card shows its job code, priority, work mode, hiring manager, target date and live counts for interviews, offers and rejections. Recruiters can spot the urgent roles and open any job straight from the board.

  • Priority & work mode
  • Target dates

Workflow Management

Hiring workflows you build once and reuse.

Design the steps a candidate moves through, with stages and substages that match how your team really hires: Sourced, Screening with a phone screen and document check, Interview, then an operations round.

  • Reusable workflow templates
  • Workflow per job

Hiring Team & Configuration

The right people on every job, with the right access.

Assign a hiring manager, recruiters and an interview panel to each job from its Hiring Team tab. Everyone sees the candidates for the jobs they work on, and their role decides what they can do.

The Configuration tab holds settings for that job alone, such as the hiring workflow it follows, so each role can be set up for how it needs to be hired.

  • Hiring manager & recruiters
  • Interview panels
  • Role-based permissions
  • Job-level configuration
