To **build a recruitment pipeline**, you need three parts: a public form candidates can fill in, a screening board the team moves people through, and a way to surface the strongest candidates without reading everything again.

## Why hiring processes lose good candidates

The candidates you lose are usually lost to delay rather than to a competing offer.

- Applications sitting in an inbox for days
- No shared view of where each candidate stands
- Screening notes kept privately by one interviewer
- Strong candidates indistinguishable from the rest in a long list

## What the pipeline should capture

- **The vacancy** — department, role, and responsibilities
- **The application**, submitted through a public form
- **Contact routes**, including LinkedIn and **WhatsApp** for direct conversation
- **A priority or score**, marking how qualified the candidate is
- **Attachments**, such as a CV or a photo where relevant

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Create the vacancy in **Jestor** and set it to open so it appears on the form.
2. Share the public application link — candidates fill it in without logging in.
3. Review applicants on the screening **Kanban**, moving them between stages.
4. Change a candidate's vacancy if they suit a different role better.
5. Set the priority or score — high-scoring candidates surface on the recruitment dashboard.

## Why choose Jestor for recruitment?

**Jestor** lets the scoring scale be whatever suits you — a simple high and low, or a zero-to-ten rating where higher means more qualified. The dashboard then shows the strongest candidates automatically.

Because the record holds the candidate's contact routes, a recruiter can open LinkedIn or start a WhatsApp conversation from the same card they are reviewing.
