Hiring without a structured pipeline creates two problems: good candidates fall through the cracks from lack of follow-up, and decisions end up being based only on technical skill, with no consideration for culture fit. Jestor solves this with **automatic intake** of candidates and configurable fit criteria.

## What is automatic candidate intake, and why does it exist?

Automatic intake is the mechanism where signing up through the public form already places the candidate in the **screening** phase, with no initial manual registration.

| Phase           | What happens                             | Advancement criteria  |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| **Screening**   | Candidate enters upon signing up         | Automatic             |
| **Interview**   | Date and time scheduled with no conflict | Set by the recruiter  |
| **Culture fit** | Criteria compared across candidates      | Adherence to criteria |

## How to structure the recruiting pipeline in Jestor

- **Public form:** automatically takes the candidate to screening.
- **Manual registration:** an alternative for adding candidates directly.
- **Conflict-free scheduling:** interviews booked with no time overlap.
- **Configurable culture fit:** criteria defined by the company, comparable across finalists.

**How to configure it in Jestor:** publish the job form and define the culture-fit criteria in the recruiting process settings.

## Why choose Jestor for this kind of recruiting?
