How do you use a Kanban board to manage interview candidates through different stages of the hiring process?

S – In my previous role, we had a growing hiring pipeline with many candidates at different stages. T – I needed a way to visualize and track each candidate’s progress from initial contact to final decision. A – I set up a Kanban board with columns such as "Applied", "Screening", "Interview", "Offer", "Rejection", and "Hired". Each candidate was represented by a card that moved across columns as they advanced. I added labels for priority and skill set, and used checklists to ensure all required steps were completed before moving a card. R – This visual system reduced the time to identify bottlenecks, improved communication among recruiters and hiring managers, and increased our offer acceptance rate by 15%. It also made the hiring process transparent and easier to audit.
