# Pipeline Stages

> Customize the pipeline stages candidates move through in your jobs and speculative presentations.

**Settings → Stages** defines the pipeline stages your candidates move through. Stages
apply across your workspace, so every job uses the same set.

## Job Stages

The **Job Stages** list is the pipeline candidates follow in a job, for example
Application, Long List, Short List, Outreach, Interview, Presentation, and Offer.

* Drag stages by the handle to reorder them.
* Click **Add Stage** to create a new stage, and use the row menu to rename or recolor
  it.

Two markers tell Spott how to measure your pipeline:

* **CV Sent**: the stage at which a CV is considered sent to the client. This drives
  the "CV Sent" reporting metric.
* **First Interview**: the stage at which a first interview is considered completed.

## Speculative Presentation Stages

**Speculative Presentation Stages** define a separate pipeline for speculative
candidate presentations, managed the same way as job stages.
