Hiring Pipeline
From application to hire — every step tracked.
The CME hiring pipeline gives employers a visual, drag-and-drop interface to manage candidates through every stage. Built-in rules prevent ghosting, ensure compliance, and support team-based hiring decisions.
Pipeline Stages
Every application moves through a defined set of stages. Employers advance candidates by dragging them between columns or using the status dropdown.
Submitted
Application received. The employer can see the candidate's profile, CME Clip, and SmartMatch score.
Shortlisted
The employer has flagged this candidate for further review. This is the first positive signal.
Interview Scheduled
An interview has been arranged. Both parties receive calendar notifications.
Offer Extended
A formal offer with salary, start date, and working hours. The candidate accepts or declines from their dashboard.
Hired
Candidate accepted the offer. Bill 190 employment confirmation is automatically generated.
Not Selected
Candidate was not chosen. A KindHire message is sent automatically.
Withdrawn
Candidate withdrew their application. The employer receives an urgent notification.
Transition Rules
Not every move is allowed. The pipeline enforces rules to prevent skipping stages, ghosting candidates, or bypassing required actions.
Cannot skip to Interview without Shortlisting first.
Boosted applications cannot be moved to Not Selected.
Post-interview KindHire message is required.
Cannot drag to Hired. Candidate must accept the offer.
Offer Flow
When an employer extends an offer, they provide salary, start date, working hours, and location. The candidate receives an email and can accept or decline directly from their dashboard.
If declined, the employer sees the reason and can resend a modified offer. If accepted, the candidate is automatically moved to Hired and a Bill 190 employment confirmation letter is generated.
Offer Details Include
Team Voting
CME supports multi-admin hiring. Team members can vote on candidates with structured feedback tags, and votes are blind; nobody sees others' votes until all are in.
Blind Voting
Votes are hidden until all team members have voted, preventing bias.
Weighted Scores
Hiring managers' votes carry more weight than standard team members.
Consensus View
After voting closes, see the full breakdown with feedback tags and scores.
Bill 190 Compliance
Every pipeline action, status changes, messages, interviews, offers, is automatically logged and archived. When a job is closed, CME generates a complete compliance report.
Reports include job posting history, all candidate communications, interview records, and hiring decisions. They're formatted for print-to-PDF and named for easy filing.
Job Closure
When a job is closed, the pipeline becomes read-only. All remaining candidates receive a KindHire notification. Interviewed candidates are invited to the Talent Pool.
