Map to Eightfold standard stage groups
Purpose
This article guides you through configuring Offer and Hired stage groups in the Configure stages step of Analytics Product Setup. Correctly mapping your stage groups to the Eightfold standard New Application, Phone Interview, Onsite, Offer and Hired stages is required for metrics such as Offer Acceptance Rate, Time to Hire, and Average Days to Hire to calculate accurately.
Audience
New users, administrators (admins), solution architects, partners, and Eightfold employees.
Getting Started
- Navigate to Admin Console > Home > Product Setup.
- Under Analytics, click Set up.
- Click Configure stages.
The Configure stages page opens as a kanban view. Each stage group column is mapped to an Eightfold standard stage via the Map to Eightfold stage group setting.
Mapping a stage group to Offer or Hired
When you add or edit a stage group, you assign it to an Eightfold standard stage. To map a group to any EF stage group:
- Click + Add stage groups (to create a new group) or click the ⋮ icon on an existing column and select Rename (to update the display name of an existing group).
- In the Add stage group dialog, set the Map to Eightfold stage group dropdown to EF_New Application, EF_Phone Interview, EF_Onsite, EF_Offer or EF_Hired as appropriate.
- Click Save.
The stage group column is now associated with the corresponding Eightfold standard stage, enabling offer and hire metrics to calculate correctly.
Why this mapping matters
| Eightfold standard stage | Metrics enabled |
| EF_New Application | Application volume; funnel conversion ratios |
| EF_Phone Interview | Phone interview to application ratio |
| EF_Onsite | Onsite to phone interview ratio |
| EF_Offer | Offer Acceptance Rate |
| EF_Hired | Time to Hire |
Without these mappings, offer and hire metrics will not appear on dashboards or will show incorrect values.
Updating the data

Tips
- Clearly define what constitutes each stage in your organization. The Hired stage should reflect when a candidate has accepted the offer and completed all necessary onboarding steps. The Offer stage should mark when an offer has been extended.
- Regularly review these mappings to ensure they accurately reflect your hiring process, especially if your ATS stages change.
FAQs
How do I set the Offer stage? When adding or editing a stage group, set the Map to Eightfold stage group dropdown to EF_Offer. This tells Eightfold which stage group represents the point where a formal job offer has been extended.
Can I change the Offer or Hired stage group mapping after saving? Yes. Update the mapping via the Add stage group dialog and then refresh the data warehouse for the changes to take effect in dashboards and Data Hub.
