How to create a recruitment pipeline in Airtable?

Step 1: Create a New Base

Open Airtable and click on the "Add a base" button.
Choose "Start from scratch."
Name your base something like "Recruitment Pipeline."

Step 2: Define Your Tables

In the base, create multiple tables such as "Candidates", "Jobs", "Interview Stages", and "Recruiters."
Each table will serve a specific purpose in the recruitment process.

Step 3: Set Up Candidate Table

In the "Candidates" table, create columns for essential candidate information like Name, Email, Phone Number, Resume, Status, Interview Stage, and Recruiter.
Adjust the field types accordingly (e.g., Email field for Email, Attachment field for Resume).

Step 4: Configure Jobs Table

In the "Jobs" table, create columns such as Job Title, Department, Hiring Manager, and Status.
This table will help track current job openings and their details.

Step 5: Define Interview Stages

In the "Interview Stages" table, list out the different stages of your recruitment process, like Initial Screening, Technical Interview, HR Interview, and Final Interview.
Create a column for Stage Name and Description.

Step 6: Configure Recruiters Table

In the "Recruiters" table, create columns for Recruiter Name, Email, and Assigned Jobs.
This will help manage who is responsible for each candidate.

Step 7: Link Tables

In the "Candidates" table, add a "Linked record" field type to associate each candidate with a Job from the "Jobs" table.
Similarly, link the "Interview Stage" and "Recruiter" columns to their respective tables.

Step 8: Create Views

In the "Candidates" table, create different views such as "All Candidates," "In Progress," and "Completed" to filter candidates based on their current status.
Use calendar view to track interview dates and timelines.

Step 9: Automate Workflows

Use Airtable Automations to automate tasks like sending email notifications, updating statuses, or moving candidates to the next interview stage.
For example, set up an automation to send an email to the recruiter when a candidate reaches a specific stage.

Step 10: Customize and Integrate

Use Airtable Apps to add additional functionality like charts for visualizing data or form views for easy candidate submission.
Integrate with other tools like Slack, Google Calendar, or Zapier to streamline workflows further.

Step 11: Share and Collaborate

Share the base with your recruitment team and set permissions as needed.
Use the "Comment" feature to collaborate within Airtable, ensuring everyone stays on the same page.

Step 12: Regularly Update and Maintain

Ensure the data is regularly updated and consistent.
Review and adjust the pipeline stages, automation rules, and integrations to keep the recruitment process efficient.
