Hiring that starts with an approved headcount.
Department heads approve each hiring request before a role opens. HR then publishes the posting and moves candidates from screening to offer, with every interview and decision on record.
- Draft
- Pending approval
- Approved
The statuses a hiring request moves through. A rejected request can be edited and submitted again.
What it does.
Praxis keeps hiring tied to approved headcount, so a role only opens once the right person has agreed to it, and every candidate's progress is recorded in one place.
Hiring requests
- Requests go from draft to pending approval to approved, rejected or cancelled
- The head of the department approves; nobody approves their own request
- A rejected request can be edited and resubmitted
- Every approval decision is kept in an append-only history
Job postings
- A posting can only open against an approved request with headcount left
- Postings can be draft, open, on hold or closed
Candidate pipeline
- Kanban and list views from applied through screening, interview and offer
- Candidates marked hired or rejected; a rejected candidate can be reopened
- Open roles, active pipeline and average time to hire at a glance
Interviews
- Phone, video, in-person or panel interviews
- Feedback with a 1–5 rating
- A recommendation to hire, reject, hold or move to the next round
