Workflow packet Pipeline status queue Greenhouse + Ashby, then Lever feed the packet before anyone starts chasing. Hiring sync

The manual reality today

  1. 01

    Stages go stale fast

    Candidates advance over email and on calls, but the ATS only updates when someone remembers to log it. By midweek the board no longer matches what is actually happening.

  2. 02

    Stalled candidates slip through

    A strong applicant waits days for a next step because no one noticed they had been sitting in the same stage. The pipeline looks healthy while good people go cold.

  3. 03

    No single source of truth

    Status lives partly in the ATS, partly in inboxes, and partly in side conversations. Anyone trying to answer where a candidate stands has to piece it together by hand.

How Imagine handles it

  1. 01

    Connect your ATS and inbox

    Link your applicant tracking system, email, and calendar so every signal that a candidate has moved is visible in one place. Setup takes minutes and reads from what you already have.

  2. 02

    Detect real activity

    Replies, scheduled interviews, and recruiter notes are read together to recognize when a candidate has genuinely progressed or stalled. Context, not a single trigger word, drives the read.

  3. 03

    Update the stage with judgment

    Each candidate moves to the correct pipeline stage with a note on why, and ambiguous signals are held back rather than guessed. Anything unclear is surfaced for a quick human check.

  4. 04

    Surface what needs attention

    Stalled candidates and missing next steps are flagged on the dashboard so the team can act. Every change is recorded in an audit trail you can review anytime.

What changes

A board you can trust

The pipeline reflects what is actually happening, so a glance is enough to know where every candidate stands. No reconciling against inboxes first.

Fewer candidates go cold

Stalled applicants get surfaced early, so momentum holds and strong people stay engaged. Next steps stop falling through the cracks.

Time returned to recruiters

The hours spent manually grooming stages disappear, freeing recruiters for conversations that move roles forward. Most teams feel this within the first week.

Frequently asked questions

How does the dashboard know a candidate moved stages?

It reads the actual activity around each candidate, such as interview invites on the calendar, replies in the inbox, and notes logged in the ATS, then interprets that context to decide the right stage. There is no reliance on a single keyword or manual click.

What happens when the status is ambiguous?

When the signal is unclear, the stage is left unchanged and the candidate is surfaced for a quick human review instead of being guessed at. This keeps the pipeline accurate rather than confidently wrong.

Can I see why a candidate was moved?

Yes. Every stage change is recorded in an audit trail with the reasoning and the source signal, so you can always trace why a candidate sits where they do.

Does this work with our existing ATS stages?

Yes. The pipeline stages you already use in Greenhouse, Ashby, or Lever are mapped directly rather than replaced, so the dashboard matches the process your team knows.
