Job pipelines

If you click on a job in the Jobs section you will see all candidates that applied to this job assigned to their current stage. Candidates applying on your careers site or added manually will land in the Applied stage, while candidates sourced with the Recruitee sourcing extension will appear in the Sourced stage, and candidates referred via the ReferralHub will land in the Referred stage.

Candidates can be moved in the pipeline by clicking on their card, dragging, and dropping them in the desired stage.

Note: If you are dragging a candidate into a stage that has a thunderbolt icon, one or more automated actions will be triggered.

When action(s) are triggered, a notification will pop up in the bottom-right of your window. If you hover your mouse over this notification, it will pause the actions from being triggered. You can then cancel individual or all of the actions.

Candidate profiles

Click on a candidate’s card in the pipeline or in the candidates section to open their profile.

Here you can get an overview of everything related to this candidate, view their details, CV, and cover letter.

Notes

Notes are often used to state observations about candidates and communicate about them with team members. They can be visible to only you, to selected team members, or to everyone. In order to tag a colleague in a note, simply use @ and select their name or simply click reply under a note they wrote.
