Business vs Agency Hiring Ops: What to Standardize First

Shared framework for business and agency recruiting teams to standardize statuses and handoffs.

Standardize these first

• Status transition rules
• Interview-round decision actions
• Rejection reason taxonomy

Start with these three and pipeline reporting becomes reliable immediately.
