People Task
Run a candidate pipeline with visible next actions
Give each active candidate a documented stage, owner, next action, evidence link, and timely status.
“This is costing me attention and leaves candidates waiting without a clear process state.”
The result you need
Keep every active candidate in a named stage with an owner, evidence, next action, and status date.
What is happening now
Where the work gets stuck
Applications, interviews, and missed appointments compete with the founder’s delivery work.
- When it starts
- A candidate enters the process, completes a step, or misses a scheduled step.
- What makes it difficult
- The founder cannot see who needs action or whether candidates received the same relevant process.
- What progress looks like
- Every candidate has a current stage and timely human-owned action, pause, closure, or correction.
What to try next
Keep candidate stages and next actions reviewable
Give each candidate a timely human-owned process state without automated judgement.
Before you act
Check these limits
- Use the same relevant stages and status rules for comparable candidates.
- Do not infer the reason for a missed step.
- Do not automate ranking, rejection, or selection.
- Restrict candidate data and set retention and correction routes.
