Who this is for: Admins only. Pipeline creation and management is restricted to Admin users.

Deal pipelines are configured in CRM Settings. From here, you can create new pipelines, edit existing ones, set stage order and probabilities, clone pipelines, and manage how they appear across your workspace.

Prerequisites

  • You must be an Admin on your Recruiterflow account

  • Navigate to CRM Settings → Deal Pipeline

Creating a new pipeline

  1. Go to CRM Settings → Deal Pipeline


  2. Click Add Pipeline


  3. Enter a name for the pipeline

  4. Edit the stages as needed

  5. Click Save

The new pipeline is immediately available for use when creating deals.

Note: The Add Pipeline button is only visible to Admin users. Non-admin users will not see this option.

Cloning an existing pipeline

If your new pipeline is similar to an existing one, clone it instead of starting from scratch.

  1. Go to CRM Settings → Deal Pipeline

  2. Find the pipeline you want to copy

  3. Click the Clone option on that pipeline


  4. A duplicate pipeline is created with all the same stages and probabilities

  5. Rename it and edit stages as needed

  6. Click Save

Editing a pipeline

  1. Go to CRM Settings → Deal Pipeline

  2. Click on the pipeline you want to edit


  3. Update the pipeline name, stages, probabilities, or stage order

  4. Click Save

Changes to stage order will be reflected across the product — Deals page, Reports, Recruiterflow BI, Advanced Search, and Recipes — wherever that pipeline is used.

Reordering pipelines

The order of pipelines in Settings determines which pipeline is selected by default when a new deal is created from the Deals Table, Company Page, Contact Page, or Chrome Extension.

  1. Go to CRM Settings → Deal Pipeline

  2. Drag and drop pipelines into your preferred order

  3. The pipeline at the top of the list becomes the default

Things to know

  • There is no limit on the number of pipelines you can create

  • At least 1 pipeline must exist at all times — you cannot delete your last pipeline

  • Every pipeline always contains Deal Won and Deal Lost stages — these cannot be removed
