Hiring at a glance

CampSite hiring is an ops journey. Open Home under Hiring to see what needs a click next.

Typical path for each role:

StepWhat happens
Recruitment requestHiring manager submits a request (including start date)
HR reviewHR approves, rejects, or requests changes
Job advertListing is created and published to the careers page / boards
Applications closeDeadline passes; applications lock
ShortlistingHR assigns reviewers; each scores; averages are calculated
Interview slotsHR or manager creates availability
Invite to interviewShortlisted / top-ranked people get booking links or are booked
Job offerConditional offer letter; start date from the request; signing creates the HR profile
Onboarding beginsBank / payroll details and holiday entitlement (pre-start)
Right to workHR completes RTW verification
ContractEmployment contract after RTW is clear (when your org requires it)
Ready to startStart confirmation on Pre-start

Offers are not blocked by right to work. RTW and related checks come after the offer is accepted and before the employment contract.

On a job pipeline, Decision Offer is triage only (pipeline stage). Sending the conditional offer letter is a separate step via Smart Actions → Send offer letter or the Offer tab.
