# Tracking Multiple Interview Rounds with Custom Pipeline Stages

> Configure separate pipeline stages for interview rounds and reuse them across searches.

## Overview

You can track multiple interview rounds by creating separate pipeline stages (for example, "1st Round Interview" and "Final Interview") and marking them as interview stages. This gives you round-level visibility in the pipeline and surfaces upcoming interviews on the Home screen.

## Steps

1. Go to **Settings → Candidate Stages**.
2. Click to create a new stage and name it exactly how you want (e.g., "1st Round Interview").
3. Edit the stage and toggle the **Interview** flag on.
4. Repeat for other rounds (e.g., "Final Interview").

## What this does

* Each stage appears separately in the pipeline/board so you can see which round each candidate is in.
* Stages marked as Interview show on the Home screen under **Upcoming Interviews**.
* The system may auto-detect interview stages from keywords (like "round", "interview", "screen", "onsite").

## Templates and client-specific processes

If different clients require different interview flows, create separate pipeline templates per client (Settings → Candidate Stages → New Template) and configure each template’s stage set accordingly.

## Limitations

* Once a job is created, you cannot change its pipeline template without creating a new job and bulk-moving candidates.
