Recruitment pipeline that fits every role.
Recruiters need the full candidate flow. Hiring managers want to see only their open roles. Candidates want to track their application status. One pipeline. Three views. No branching logic.

One pipeline. Recruiters and hiring managers each shape their view.
The problem
Most recruiting platforms force the same view on everyone. Recruiters get overwhelmed with data from every department. Hiring managers wade through candidates for roles they're not responsible for. Candidates have no visibility. The result: custom spreadsheets, missed candidates, frustrated stakeholders.
How it works with ShapeKit
Recruiters see the pipeline
Full funnel view: Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired. Every candidate from every department in one place.
Hiring managers see their openings
Shaping the table down to only their roles. No noise. No permissions to maintain. They describe what they need and the AI generates the view.
Candidates get a portal
Self-service status updates. They see where they stand without asking. Progress through the pipeline appears in real time.

- Metrics. You see which hiring managers are moving candidates fastest. Where bottlenecks live.
- Transparency. Everyone sees the same underlying data. No conflicting versions.
