If you have used Huntr or seen some of our demos, you'll know that boards are one of Huntr's distinctive features. As job seekers progress with multiple opportunities, they will move these opportunities through stages like Wishlist, Applied, Interview, Offer, etc.
Board templates allow you to define a blueprint that will be used to create the stages your job seeker will see in their boards. You only need to setup one single template for your whole organization. Once this template is set as a default, Huntr will ensure that each one of your job seekers has the same stages in their board. Our suggested stages for your board template are:
<aside> 💡 ☁️ Wishlist → 📁 Applied → 👨💼 Interview → 📃 Offer Received → 🏆 Offer Accepted → 👎 Offer Rejected → 🚫 Rejected
</aside>
We feel that the stages above cover the key milestones that any job opportunity goes through. While we suggest that you stick with the suggestion above, you can tweak or change the suggested template to fit the stages you think your job seekers should move opportunities through. Here are a few other ideas for stages to add to your board templates besides the ones shown above:
<aside> 💡 ✏️ Assignment - 💻 Code Challenge - 👨💼 First Interview - 👩💼 Second Interview - 💻 Technical Interview - ❌ Opportunity Closed - 🤝 Networking - 👻 Ghosted
</aside>
Once you've decided what stages to include in your board template, head to the Settings tab in your account and under the Board Templates section click on + Add New. You will be able to add, remove and drag stages around; once you are done click Create Template.
After you have created your board template, we suggest you mark it as your default. Once your template is set as a default, Huntr will fall back to that template if the job seeker invite did not specify a template.
Board templates and workflows (see Designing Workflows) are tightly connected. This is because a big part of setting up a workflow is ensuring that the workflow only gets triggered when a job is moved or created onto a stage of a certain name; without knowing the stage name, setting up a workflow is not possible. We suggest creating your board templates before setting up your workflows.
