Candidate pipeline software

A recruiter pipeline that feels alive, not like admin debt.

Vision gives agencies a clean candidate pipeline for moving talent from new application to screening, interview, offer, hire, and client submission. Recruiters get kanban speed, table-level control, CSV import, and shortlist sharing without losing the context behind each candidate.

Board view: drag candidates through the hiring journey. Table view: filter, sort, and act on pipeline records.

Built for the moment a recruiter needs to act

A pipeline is not just a list of names. It is the live commercial surface where recruiters decide who to screen, who to send to a client, who needs follow-up, and where the job is getting stuck.

5 Core candidate stages
2 Board and table operating modes
1 Shared record across CV, notes, and actions
0 Context lost between shortlist and client response

Pipeline capabilities

Vision keeps the pipeline practical. Recruiters can work fast from the board, then switch to a structured table when they need filters, bulk context, or spreadsheet-like review.

Shortlist

Client-ready actions

Submit candidates to clients, track responses, and keep the submission tied to the candidate, company, contact, and job.

Import

CSV intake without chaos

Bring candidates into the active pipeline from spreadsheets while keeping the recruiter workflow structured and auditable.

Screening

Screening results stay attached

When candidates move into screening, their responses and review context remain available inside the same candidate record.

Control

Reject and delete with intent

Recruiters can reject stale or poor-fit candidates and clean up the board while protecting the wider agency database.

Visibility

Board for speed, table for precision

Use the board for live movement and the table for sorting, filtering, reviewing, and comparing candidate state across a vacancy.

How recruiters use it during a live role

Open the job pipeline

The recruiter sees the active candidate count, current stage spread, and the candidates who need action.

Review the new applied column

CVs, screening status, and candidate context are visible before the recruiter decides who should progress.

Move qualified talent forward

Candidates can be dragged into screening, interview, offer, or hired as the process advances.

Send the right people to the client

Shortlist actions keep submissions attached to the job, client contact, and future placement record.

The real win is recruiter ownership: every action on the board updates the same operational truth the agency uses for clients, candidates, jobs, and revenue.

Why this is different from a basic kanban

A generic kanban only shows movement. Vision turns movement into a recruiting record: candidate activity, client submission, screening context, placement progress, and team reporting are all connected.

Candidate context stays close

Recruiters do not need to jump between CV folders, spreadsheets, notes, and client messages to understand why a candidate moved.

Client submission is part of the flow

The send-to-client action is not an afterthought. It is part of the pipeline because agency revenue depends on submission quality.

Pipeline health becomes visible

Owners and admins can see where candidates are building up, where jobs are slowing down, and which vacancies need recruiter attention.
