The application stages

7 stages, left to right, and only the first one is ever set for you.

These are the columns, in board order:

ClickedSavedAppliedPhone ScreenInterviewOfferRejected

Clicked is the only one ever set for you, and it means exactly what it says: you opened the posting on the board that carries it.

Whether you then filled the application in happens on someone else’s site and we never see it, which is why that stage is not called Applied. A card sitting there for a week means you have not moved it, not that anything went wrong.

Rejected is styled in muted charcoal rather than red. A rejection is part of a job hunt, not a failure of the software, and colouring it like an error would be the software editorialising about your week.

Where it stops: The stages are fixed and cannot be renamed, reordered or added to. They are named in the documentation, in the emails and in the exports, so they are a shared vocabulary rather than a personal one.
