Hiring the best talent is a sale. If you take too long to reply or lose the resume, the candidate goes to the competitor. An **ATS (Applicant Tracking System)** organizes the hiring funnel just like a sales funnel.

### **The Talent Funnel**

Applied -> Screening -> HR Interview -> Tech Interview -> Offer -> Hired.

### **Agile Recruiting in Jestor**

This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:

- **Talent Pool:** Candidates fill out a form on the site and drop straight into the HR Kanban.
- **Auto-Scheduling:** If the candidate passes screening, the system sends a link for them to pick an interview slot (integrated with Google Calendar).
- **Automated Feedback:** Moving a candidate to "Rejected" triggers a polite thank-you email (after a delay to seem human), protecting the employer brand.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Can I have custom fields?** Yes, create specific fields for each role (e.g., "Portfolio Link" for Designers). Meet[Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Do managers participate?** Yes, the hiring manager enters the card to rate the candidate and leave interview notes.

**Does it generate metrics?** Yes, measure "Time to Fill" and "Source of Best Candidates."

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, it is possible to automate workflows, connect departments, and create internal systems your way, all code-free and AI-supported.
