A candidate refers to an individual who is applying for a specific job opening. In this article, we'll explore the different ways you can manage your candidates.
Adding candidates
A candidate can be added to Greenhouse Recruiting when they apply for a job post, or when they are manually added to the system. Once their candidate record is inside Greenhouse Recruiting, they can be moved through the hiring process.
Application review and moving candidates through the pipeline
Application review allows you to quickly review candidate applications. In some cases, you may choose to advance, skip, or reject candidates who have applied for the job.
Check out the video below for more information.
Review interview feedback
After an interview is complete, the member of the hiring team will complete a scorecard with their assessment of the candidate. After the scorecard is submitted, you'll see the scorecard summary in the attached stage on the candidate's profile.
You can select a specific scorecard to view the full details submitted by the member of the hiring team.

Manage scorecard reminders
During the interview process, Greenhouse Recruiting will remind you about outstanding scorecards to ensure a streamlined hiring process.
Send take home tests
Take home tests are a great way to assess a candidate's skills during the interview process. If they're configured in your interview plan, take home tests can be sent from inside Greenhouse Recruiting. Once finished, the test will be returned and assessed inside the system to keep all your documentation in one place.

Communicate with the hiring team
At any time during the hiring process, you can send an email to the hiring team on the candidate's profile.
Additionally, you can tag members of the hiring team by writing @[the user's name] in private notes or text fields. When you tag a user, they'll receive an email notifying them that they've been tagged in Greenhouse Recruiting.
Filter candidate lists
The All Candidates page can filtered to limit the amount of candidates that you're currently seeing to make it easier to digest the information on the page. You can modify these filters by selecting the checkboxes and entering text on the left side of the page.
