(TEST) Creating or editing a hiring process (TEST)

Your hiring process takes the heavy lifting out of hiring and leads you, step by step, from needing to make a hire to making the hire. It provides you with a consistent structure to help you efficiently manage and correspond with your applicants, soothe hiring headaches, avoid common recruiting pitfalls, and — most importantly — confidently hire the right people.

For those who are new to recruiting or who would like extra guidance, your CareerPlug account includes a prebuilt hiring process.

What's a hiring process?

A hiring process is the set of steps that all applicants who apply for a job must go through before they are hired. Each new applicant is assigned a step-by-step hiring process, complete with prewritten email templates to help you efficiently correspond with applicants, as well as prebuilt interview scorecards to help you evaluate applicants.

For example, the default hiring process for ADP accounts includes the following steps:

• New Application
• First Interview
• Second Interview
• Offer
• Reference Check
• Background Check with ADP
• Hire
