Challenges Faced Before Implementing Candidate Status Tracking

Lack of Process Visibility
Recruiters and hiring managers had limited visibility into where candidates stood in the hiring pipeline. This created delays, miscommunications, and duplicate efforts. Interview feedback often got lost in emails or spreadsheets, making it hard to keep everyone aligned.

Disconnected Hiring Workflow
With multiple stakeholders involved from HR and team leads to department heads the hiring process lacked coordination. Status updates were inconsistent, and candidates sometimes fell through the cracks. This led to poor experiences and lost talent.

Delayed Communication
Without an organized system to track candidate progress, communication gaps were common. Candidates would go days or even weeks without updates, causing frustration and reducing the company’s appeal to top talent.

Manual Tracking and Errors
Spreadsheets and emails were the main tools for tracking hiring progress. This led to errors, outdated information, and a slow, cumbersome hiring process. Recruitment teams spent too much time chasing updates instead of engaging top candidates.

How We Solved It: The Solution
