Every application sits at one stage of its Job: Application, Long list, Short list, Outreach, Interview, CV sent, the Job's rounds, Offer and Placed. ## Before you start You can move the application: you're one of its consultants, you own the Job, you manage its owner, or you're an Admin. Everyone else sees the stages read-only. ## On the board 1. Open the Job and select the **Pipeline** tab, then **All stages**. 2. Drag a card to its new column, or select its **⋯** › **Move to** and pick the stage. Hire says "Moved to \". The Head of Supply Chain Planning Pipeline board, with a column per stage and the Job's 1st, 2nd and Final rounds **Before CV out** folds the early columns into one. Drop a card on it to move it to Short list. ## In the list Switch the Pipeline to **List** and pick a new **Stage** in the row. To move several, tick them and select **Move to stage** in the bar. A bulk move has **Undo**. ## Close an application Set **Closed reason** on the application: **Rejected by client**, **Withdrew**, **Placed elsewhere**, **Offer declined** or **Kept for matching**. ## What happens next * Moves past CV sent count toward the client's rounds on **CCM**. See [How to follow candidates at the client on CCM](/guides/how-to/track-interviews-on-ccm). * After a call or a logged message, Flo proposes moves, for example to the next round when the client said yes. They wait in **Tasks › To review** until you approve them. * A move to **Placed** opens **Create placement**. See [How to manage a placement](/guides/how-to/manage-a-placement). ## Related * [How to act on many candidates at once](/guides/how-to/act-on-many-candidates) * [How to record an offer](/guides/how-to/record-an-offer) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
