Application Tracking Systems Timeline Template

The Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Recruitment Process Template provides a clear visual way to present the complete hiring workflow from job creation to the final hiring decision. The seven-step timeline uses a connected zigzag layout with numbered stages, icons, and editable text areas to make each recruitment phase easy to understand.

Recruitment Stages

The timeline can be used to show:

• Job creation
• Job posting
• Candidate applications
• Application screening and review
• Candidate data management
• Interviews
• Final hiring decision

Each stage can include your own titles, descriptions, metrics, or responsibilities to match your organization’s recruitment process.

Make Recruitment Processes Easier to Understand

Use this timeline to highlight hiring bottlenecks, process ownership, time-to-hire metrics, and improvement opportunities. HR teams can also adapt the structure to explain their ATS workflow or compare different recruitment processes.

The fully editable format makes it easy to update the timeline as your organization’s hiring process changes.
