Managing Your Hiring Pipeline

Stori uses a three-stage pipeline by design — enough structure to track flow, simple enough that candidates don't get stuck in vague middle states.

• Qualified — candidate has made it past initial screening. Interview may or may not be complete.
• Progressed — actively moving through your evaluation. Typically post-interview review, second-round, or hiring manager screen.
• Final — last stage before a hire/no-hire decision. Reaching Final unlocks the disposition modal so you can record the outcome.

You'll find the pipeline at Jobs → [your job] → Hiring. Cards are grouped by stage, left to right.

Each card shows the candidate's photo (or generated avatar), name, current title and company, and a rank badge showing where they sit relative to the rest of your applicant pool ("#5 of 200"). Hover the card to reveal action buttons:

• Thumbs up — advance to the next stage. From Final, this opens the disposition modal.
• X — remove from the pipeline.
• Profile (resume icon) — open the full candidate profile.
• Stori Interview icon — jump straight into watching their interview.

Use the view dropdown in the page header to change what the cards show:

• Image — photo or avatar (default, fastest to scan).
• Intro — the candidate's recorded intro video, plays inline.
• Stori Interview — the full AI interview, auto-skipping the AI's greeting to land on the first answer.

Only one video plays at a time across the whole board — starting playback on a new card pauses the previous one. Lets you binge through interviews without juggling tabs.

Click the thumbs-up button on a card to advance it one stage. There's no drag-and-drop — the click pattern is intentional, since advancing should be a small deliberate action rather than something that happens by accident.

When you advance from Final, the Disposition Modal opens. It captures the actual outcome: Hired, Offer Extended, Rejected (with one of 11 reasons), Withdrew (with one of 6 reasons), or Do Not Rehire. This is what feeds your hire-rate and reason-of-rejection data in Analytics and Reports — fill it in honestly.

Select multiple cards (checkbox in the top-left of each card) to reveal the bulk actions bar:

• Move — shift all selected candidates to a target stage at once.
• Add to Sequence — enroll selected candidates into an email sequence (Sourcing only). Requires unlocked email addresses.
• Remove — bulk delete with confirmation.

The filter bar narrows what shows on the board:

• Interview Status — has interview / no interview.
• Interview Score — minimum threshold (60, 70, 80, 90).
• Contact Info — has email / no email.
• Sort By — name, Stori Score, or interview score.

Save any combination as a Saved View. Useful patterns: "Strong interviews only" (score 80+), "Ready for outreach" (has email + Progressed stage), "Top of pipeline" (sort by Stori Score, all stages).

The Disposition Modal is the single place where a candidate's hiring story closes. It records:

• Outcome — Hired, Offer Extended, Rejected, Withdrew, or Do Not Rehire.
• Reason — structured reason codes per outcome (e.g., "skills mismatch," "compensation expectations," "accepted competing offer").
• Notes — free-text context for your team and future reference.
