The Stages of Recruitment

Published: September 05, 2023

Recruitment typically unfolds across several core stages. Understanding each helps ensure consistency and quality throughout the hiring process.

First comes planning — identifying the need, creating a role description, and aligning internally. Next is sourcing, where recruiters attract talent through job ads, referrals, and networking.

Screening follows, involving resume review, phone screens, and sometimes online assessments. Then, interviews allow teams to dig deeper, evaluate soft skills, and test cultural alignment.

Once a candidate is chosen, the offer process and negotiation occur. Post-acceptance, onboarding ensures new hires are set up for success from day one.

Managing each stage with care leads to stronger hires and a better candidate experience. DORS helps streamline these stages with clarity and automation.
