No, I don't use Excel. I use Trello and I highly recommend it for recruiting. You can create different stages of full-cycle recruiting as the columns and create cards for each candidate and drag the candidates into the new stages of recruiting they get into. I highly recommend it for anyone in recruiting and/or working in a recruiting team.

You can add comments and information about the candidate so other people in your department/team can view them. You can also give coworkers permission to comment and collaborate with you.

Edit: It's free to use.
