Kanban and Gantt Chart in Recruitment Process

Recruiting is challenging, time-consuming, expensive, and risky for any company. When we discuss efficient ways to recruit, we can never ignore the power of Kanban and Gantt charts. How to efficiently go about task and knowledge management is a challenge each HR faces. And in order to solve it, you should never ignore the ability to see the plate and Gantt chart.

Visualization of recruitment strategy

When communicating with other departments within the company about the progress of a job opening, it can be wise to use the watch page. We can divide the process from the time a job is requested to the time it is successfully filled into 7 steps.

  • Management Approval: This step represents the final approval of top management, including the base package and hiring priorities.

  • Job Description Approval: Approval is required to make sure the job description is consistent with the job requirements.

  • Hunt: The position is advertised on our official website and several other locations. Our recruiters are actively seeking candidates.
