Hiring is usually a long and difficult process - in order to streamline and simply it, I use Kanban to manage the whole process. I believe, hiring should be as lean and agile as our development process.

My Kanban board for hiring (we just started hiring at SitePoint!):

Using a Kanban board offers a number of advantages:

• a clear picture of the candidates with their feedback from code tests and interviews
• a straightforward view of where a candidate is at in the hiring process
• limited number of candidates in some stages to prevent chaos
• visual reminders to get in touch with the candidates, it’s always a good idea to keep them in the loop
• a tight WIP limit for shortlisted candidates, there’s no point to shortlist too many candidates
