What are the steps?
Harbor Client Workspace Setup (Onboarding)
- 01
Create a new client workspace in Harbor
Navigate to the workspace dashboard and select 'Add Workspace'. Name it after the client and choose the niche-specific pipeline template (e.g., biotech) to pre-populate stages.
- 02
Configure client CRM fields
In Settings > CRM Fields, add custom fields for client-specific data like hiring manager contact, fee agreement, and interview process steps. Map these to the client's workflow.
- 03
Set up job pipelines
For each open role, create a pipeline with stages (Sourced, Applied, Screened, Interviewed, Offer). Use Harbor's visual pipeline editor to drag and drop stages as needed.
- 04
Connect email and calendar
In Settings > Integrations, link the client's email account and Google Calendar or Outlook. Enable booking links so candidates can schedule interviews directly.
- 05
Build automated outreach sequences
Use the Automation tab to create email sequences for candidate outreach. Set triggers based on stage changes, and enable auto-stop when a candidate replies.
- 06
Install browser extension for sourcing
Have the team install the Harbor browser extension. Configure it to source candidates from LinkedIn and GitHub, and set up quick-add to the client's pipeline.
- 07
Test interview transcription and booking
Schedule a test interview via a booking link, join via Google Meet or Zoom, and verify that recording and transcription are captured in the candidate's profile.
- 08
Document standard operating procedures
Create a client-specific SOP document covering pipeline stages, communication protocols, and reporting cadence. Store it in the workspace's shared files.
