Interview process tracker for headhunters and recruiters

Every candidate's journey from intake to placement on one CRM record. Interview dates, briefings, debriefs, and the right talking point ready for each phase.

In the app

Interview tracker

  • Three interview rounds tracked
  • Candidate + client linked
  • Stage-specific status
  • Knowledge wired to each phase

The candidate side of a recruitment search is its own discipline. From the first intake call through interview one, two, three, the offer conversation, and the start date, the consultant runs a parallel CRM process that rewards the same structure as BD does.

The interview-process side of the CRM captures the candidate, the role, the client, and every interview date with its own briefing and debrief. The status moves through screened, briefed, presented, interviewed, offered, placed. Each transition has its own checklist of what to capture in the CRM and what answer to have ready when the candidate calls in.

Counter-offer scenarios, salary negotiations, and last-minute drop-outs are the moments where CRM structure protects the deal. The tracker links to the canonical answers: what to say when a candidate says 'they made me a great offer to stay', what to say when a client wants a fourth interview.

What's in it

Three interview rounds tracked

IV1, IV2, IV3 dates with their own briefing and debrief notes. Visible at a glance on the CRM candidate record.

Candidate + client linked

Each interview process in the CRM belongs to both a candidate and a client deal. Updates propagate to both sides.

Stage-specific status

Screened, briefed, presented, interviewed, offered, placed. Every stage in the CRM has its own actions and warnings.

Knowledge wired to each phase

Briefings, debrief questions, counter-offer responses, salary verification. All one click away per CRM stage.

Drop-off pattern recognition

After 50 placements the CRM shows at which stage you lose candidates. Pattern visible because every drop-off is logged with a reason.

Handover-ready

A colleague picking up the search reads the full CRM process history in five minutes. No 'let me check my notes'.

How it works

Step 1

Intake

Capture the candidate's reason-for-leaving, salary expectation, deal-breakers, and timing. The intake template forces the right questions.

Step 2

Interview cycle

Brief the candidate before each round. Debrief within 24 hours. Both feed back into the knowledge base on what works for which audience.

Step 3

Offer and placement

Pre-close before the offer goes out. Counter-offer playbook ready for the day the client makes the call. Signed deal moves to onboarding follow-up.

Frameworks inside

Every relevant entry on this surface maps to a phase in a recruitment sales framework the team already runs.

IPMERC

Intake interviews and screening calls follow IPMERC. The Probe phase uncovers reason-for-leaving and motivators. The Match phase aligns expectations on both sides.

WRIOC

Candidate objections (salary, location, role scope) are handled with WRIOC. The Isolate step is critical: surface the real concern before answering the surface one.
