About

It covers key stages from 'Start' through 'fill requirement form', 'make a recruitment plan', 'approve?', 'make budget plan', 'Select recruitment channel', and 'run recruitment', ending with 'recruitment achievement' and 'give feedback to each staffing department'. This template serves as a hiring process cheat sheet for HR departments, general managers, and staffing teams, ensuring no step is missed. The flowchart layout visualizes decision points like 'approve?' and 'Approve?' with clear branching, making it easy to customize for any organization's workflow.
