You can activate Automated Pipeline Stages on your LinkedIn Recruiter or Recruiter Lite contract to automatically move candidates through pipeline stages throughout the recruiting process.
Important to know
By default, this feature is turned off (deactivated) in Recruiter and is turned on (activated) in Recruiter Lite.
Automated Pipeline Stages consist of three stages (Uncontacted, Contacted, and Replied) that are added to all your projects (new and existing). You need to save a candidate to the Uncontacted stage in a project before sending them a message for them to automatically move through pipeline stages.
Each stage has an associated action that automatically moves your candidates to the next stage:
-
Uncontacted – reflects candidates who were manually added to the project or applied to a linked job and haven’t been contacted yet.
-
Contacted - reflects candidates who have been contacted through an InMail or email message.
-
Replied – reflects candidates who have responded to an InMail or email message.
If you had Smart Project Filters activated, your default stages will transfer as:
-
New to Uncontacted
-
Contacted to Contacted
-
Replied to Replied
Important to know
If you are on a prior Recruiter contract that had Smart Project Filters activated, Automated Pipeline Stages will be automatically activated.
Once Automated Pipeline Stages is activated on your Recruiter contract, keep the following in mind:
-
Existing pipeline stages with the same name as a default Automated Pipeline Stage will be converted into the corresponding Automated Pipeline Stage.
-
Candidates saved to projects prior to activation need to be manually moved into the next default stage.
-
Automation is only applied to the three default stages with candidates who were saved to projects and communicated with post-activation.
-
Admins and users on your contract will be notified in Recruiter that Automated Pipeline Stages has been activated and all projects will be updated with new default stages.
