One lane per stage
Lanes follow the stages from Reviewing through Shortlisted, Screening, Interview, and Offer to Hired. Rejected and withdrawn candidates gather in a last lane, every lane shows its count, and you can hide the lanes you do not need.
Pipeline board
See every candidate in the opening by stage, and move them yourself
The Skilltage board is the second view in Interactions. It shows every candidate in an opening as a card in the lane of their current stage, highlights candidates who have spent 14 days or more in a stage, and lets a recruiter move a candidate by dragging the card or choosing Move to… from its menu. Moving a card changes the stage only: it sends no email, and a rejection asks for confirmation first.
The Interactions board lays out an opening in lanes from Reviewing to Hired. Each card shows the match, requirements met, latest contact, and time in stage, and only a recruiter moves a card.
What the board shows and lets you do
Cards that show where a candidate stands
Each card shows the candidate's match, the requirements met, their latest contact, and how many days they have been in the stage. From 14 days the time in stage turns amber, so waiting candidates stand out.
Moves that only a recruiter makes
Drag a card to another lane, with the keyboard if you prefer, or choose Move to… from its menu. Reject… asks you to confirm, Reopen brings a candidate back, and none of it emails the candidate.
Every candidate in the opening on one board
Interactions has two views of the same candidates. Bulk actions is a table for sending invitations or rejections in batches. The board lays out the whole opening by stage, so you can see at a glance how many candidates are still being reviewed, who is in interviews, and who has an offer. Skilltage remembers the view you used last.
Lanes for stages, cards for candidates
Lanes run from Reviewing through Shortlisted, Screening, Interview, and Offer to Hired, each with its count. Rejected and withdrawn candidates gather in a last lane, whatever stage they left from, and you can hide any lane you do not need. Every card shows the candidate's match, the requirements met, their latest contact, and their days in the stage. From 14 days that count turns amber, so a candidate who has been waiting does not slip out of view.
Move a candidate when you decide
Drag a card to another lane, or open its menu and choose Move to…: the menu lists the other stages in order, with Reject… at the end. Rejecting asks you to confirm, and Reopen brings a candidate back into the process. Moving a candidate starts their time in stage again. Dragging also works from the keyboard, with the arrow keys choosing the lane.
The stage changes, nothing else
The board does not assign stages, move candidates, or contact anyone. A card's lane follows the stage and status a recruiter selected, and the match on a card helps you navigate the opening rather than decide for you. Moving or rejecting a candidate sends no email: invitations and rejection messages are prepared separately in Interactions, where a recruiter previews and confirms each one.

Frequently asked questions
- How is the board different from Bulk actions?
- They are two views of the same candidates in Interactions. Bulk actions is a table for sending invitations or rejections to many candidates at once; the board lays out every candidate by stage so you can move them one at a time. Skilltage remembers the view you used last.
- Does moving a card email the candidate?
- No. Moving a card changes the candidate's stage, and rejecting changes their status, without sending anything. Candidate-facing messages are prepared separately in Interactions and sent only after a recruiter reviews and confirms them.
- Can Skilltage move candidates between stages on its own?
- No. A candidate's lane follows the stage and status a recruiter selected, and the board never assigns either. The match on a card helps you find your way through the opening; it is not a decision.
- What does the amber time in stage mean?
- Each card counts the days since the candidate entered their current stage. From 14 days the count turns amber, so you can see who has been waiting and decide what should happen next. Moving the candidate starts the count again.
- Can I use the board with a keyboard?
- Yes. Press Space or Enter on a card to pick it up, choose a lane with the left and right arrow keys, then press Space or Enter to drop it or Escape to cancel. Every move is also available from the card's Move to… menu.
