Candidate pipeline

See every open role’s pipeline and where candidates are stuck.

Recruiters need to know which roles are moving and which candidates are waiting. Hops reads your ATS, counts candidates per stage and calls out who is stuck and who owes the next step.

How it runs: Scheduled. An automation runs every Monday at 9am, posts the pipeline to the people-ops Space and saves a Table. You can also ask Hops any time.

What it does

• Reads every open role. Hops pulls roles and candidates from Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby and counts candidates per stage.
• Flags stuck candidates. Anyone waiting more than 5 days for feedback or a next step is listed with how long they have waited.
• Names the owner. Each stuck item shows the interviewer or recruiter who owes the next step.
• Spots empty stages. Roles with no candidates past screen, or no new applicants, are called out.
• Compares to last week. Hops notes which roles moved and which did not.

Ask Hops

Copy a prompt into any chat with Hops, or mention @Hops in a Space.

What you get

• A weekly post in the people-ops Space chat (or a Slack channel) every Monday at 9am, with stuck candidates and owners.
