Recruitera's pipeline template settings let Admins update or remove existing pipeline templates. As your hiring process evolves — new stages, different automations, or restructured workflows — updating your templates ensures every new job starts with the most current process. This is an Admin-only action in Recruitera.

💡 Editing a pipeline template in Recruitera does not affect jobs already created using that template — existing jobs retain their original stage configuration. The updated template only applies to new jobs created after the edit.

💡 Deleting a pipeline template only removes it from the template library — all existing jobs that used it retain their current stage configurations unchanged.

Recruitera applies pipeline template edits to new jobs only. Jobs that were already created using the template retain their original stage structure — editing the template does not retroactively update those jobs. If you need to update the pipeline on an existing job, edit that job's workflow directly. Template edits only affect the structure applied to new jobs going forward.

Deleting a pipeline template in Recruitera removes it from the template selection list during job creation. Jobs already built using that template are not affected — they retain their full stage configuration, automations, and candidate data exactly as they were. The only consequence of deletion is that the template can no longer be selected for new jobs. Existing jobs using it continue to operate normally.

Recruitera supports duplicating pipeline templates — you can create a copy of an existing template and modify the copy without changing the original. This is useful when you want to create a variation of a template for a specific team or role type while preserving the original as the standard. Find the template in Settings → Templates → Pipeline Templates, click the Actions menu (⋯), and select Duplicate.
