Prospect pool stages allow your organization to sort prospects in the same prospect pool into more specific groupings.
Use Case 1:
Use prospect stages to manage the communication workflow for all prospects in the prospect pool. As you reach out to prospects to gauge their interest, move prospects to the next step in the communication workflow- doing this will enable your organization to track and manage your team's sourcing efforts for that particular prospect pool.
Use Case 2:
Use prospect stages to organize prospects in a prospect pool into link prospect profiles. For example, if your organization has a prospect pool for Engineers use prospect pools to segment this pool into Junior, Mid, Senior, and Management. When your organization is ready to hire for any of these roles, prospects in a stage can be used expressly to start your search.
