Color-coding your job stages makes it faster to scan your pipeline and immediately see where candidates are progressing — or stuck. Each stage in Recruiterflow can be assigned its own color, visible on candidate cards across the pipeline view.
Stage colors are set workspace-wide by Admins in Workspace Settings. Any change you make applies to all users on your team.
How to Set Stage Colors
Go to Settings → Job Settings → Customize Stage Settings
Find the stage you want to update and click the edit icon next to it. All stages ship with a default color already assigned.
Pick your color using any of four methods: RGB, HSL, Hex code, or the visual palette.
Click Update. The color immediately reflects in your pipeline view.
Practical Example
A convention many Recruiterflow teams use:
Green — stages where candidates are moving smoothly (e.g., Client Submission, Hired)
Yellow — decision-pending stages (e.g., Offer, Final Interview)
Red — terminal or at-risk stages (e.g., Disqualified, Rejected)
Before color coding, a cluttered pipeline forces you to click into each profile to understand status. After, a single glance tells you where candidates are progressing and where they're stalled.
Before: all stages look identical
After: pipeline status is readable at a glance
Things to Know
Stage colors are workspace-wide — changes apply to all users and all jobs using those stages. Coordinate with your team before updating established colors.
This setting is Admin-only. If you don't see Job Stage Settings, you may not have Admin access.
There's no per-job color override — the color is tied to the stage, not the individual job.
Default colors are pre-assigned to all stages. You only need to change them if you want a custom convention for your team.
