Manage hiring steps

Use the Hiring Steps page to create, edit, and delete hiring steps. A hiring step is a component of a hiring plan. The metrics you configure for each step are used to determine how many candidates must enter the hiring pipeline to meet future agent requirements as determined by a strategic forecast.

To be used for forecasting, hiring steps must be made part of a hiring plan on the Hiring Plans page. See Manage hiring plans.

NOTE   

Editing a hiring step on this page does not impact any hiring plans that include that step. For example, if you create a step with a duration of five days, add it to a hiring plan, and then later change the duration of that step to three days, the step in that hiring plan retains a duration of five days. If you add the step to a different hiring plan, its duration in the new hiring plan is three days.

Similarly, deleting a hiring step on this page does not remove it from any hiring plans to which it has already been added.
