Set it up
- 1
Copy the CSV
Save as hiring-pipeline.csv; keep the next-action-with-date convention in every candidate description.
- 2
Import it
Linear-format import at /help/import-linear; one board per role keeps signal clean past a handful of candidates.
- 3
Review weekly
Any candidate card without a next action and date is stalled; the stale task nudge automation catches these automatically.
