What is Recruitment Funnel?

A stage-by-stage model that maps how candidates move from initial awareness of a job opening through application, screening, interviews, and offer to a confirmed hire.

Why it matters in hiring

Recruitment Funnel comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
