Kanban hiring pipeline: every candidate in one stage, every move recorded, free

ofper's pipeline is a Kanban board with fixed stages from Pool to Offer accepted. Drag candidates between stages on a desktop, move them from a menu on a phone, and keep a dated history of every move. Available on the free, unverified tier.

ofper's hiring pipeline is a Kanban board with fixed stages — Pool, Shortlisted, Round 1 to Round 5, Offered, Offer accepted, plus Rejected and Screened out — where every candidate sits in exactly one stage.

Every move is recorded with who made it and when, so the history of a candidate is a fact rather than a memory.

The pipeline is the one feature available before a company verifies its domain: sign up and it is there, with unlimited jobs and candidates.

How the board works

Each job has its own board. New applications land in Pool, shown as a strip across the top so that unread applicants are always visible. From there a recruiter drags a card to Shortlisted, then through as many interview rounds as the role needs, to Offered and Offer accepted. Rejected and Screened out are terminal columns: candidates leave the pipeline into them and are kept, never deleted.

A list view is a click away for teams that prefer rows to columns, and the choice is remembered per device.

What is recorded

Every stage move, with the team member who made it and the timestamp
Interviews scheduled from the card, with the round they belong to
Screening answers and whether a knockout was failed
The final outcome: hired, rejected or screened out

On a phone

Dragging cards on a small screen is unreliable, so on a phone the board shows one stage at a time with a pager, and each card has a move menu. Nothing needs a hover, and every control is large enough to hit with a thumb.

What the pipeline does not do

Stages cannot be renamed, added or removed; the template is fixed
No automation rules such as moving a candidate after a set number of days
No reporting or funnel charts; the dated history is there, the dashboard is not
No bulk actions across many candidates at once
No CSV import or export of the pipeline

Questions, answered straight

Do I need to verify my company to use the pipeline?

No. The pipeline, unlimited jobs and manually added candidates are available to every workspace. Verification unlocks the public page, candidate self-apply and email.

How many candidates can a pipeline hold?

There is no cap on candidates. The Pool strip shows the first thirty unread applicants at a time to keep the page fast; the rest are a scroll away in the list view.

Can two people work the same board?

Yes. Everyone in the workspace sees the same board, and each move records who made it.
