How to structure a recruiting pipeline with screening, interviews, and culture fit

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?

The key differentiator is recruiting connected to the rest of the operation, not isolated in a separate tool — with internal chat on each card so interviewers can exchange notes without losing the history.
