Interview stages define the steps candidates move through during your hiring process. Customize your default stages in Company OS, and new roles will automatically inherit them.
Your account starts with four default stages: Recruiter Screen, Tech Screen, Interview Loop, and Decision.
Tip: These settings configure the default interview stages for your account. Once a role is created, you can still customize interview stages for that specific role without affecting the account defaults.
How to Modify Interview Stages
- Click Company OS in the left navigation menu
- Scroll to the Interview Stages section
- Choose what you want to do:
- Add a stage: Click the + button, select a stage type, add a custom name (optional), set the default duration, and click the checkmark
- Edit a stage: Click the pencil icon, update the name or duration, and click the checkmark
- Reorder stages: Drag and drop to reorder—stage numbers update automatically
- Delete a stage: Click the trash icon and confirm
- Reset to defaults: Click the three-dot menu (•••) and select Reset to Defaults
What Happens Next
Once your stages are configured, you can:
- Create a new role — Roles automatically inherit your updated stage configuration
- Manage interviews — Customize the questions for your role and interview stages
