The Candidates page includes a variety of filters that can be used to adjust the list of displayed candidate and prospect applications to make it easier to view specific sets of candidates, like those in prospect pools, with outstanding scheduling tasks, or assigned to a specific recruiter.
Note: The Candidates page displays individual candidate and prospect applications, and not individual candidate/prospect profiles. If a single candidate has applied to more than one job or a single prospect is in multiple pools, that person will appear on the Candidates page once per application, regardless of if those applications are associated with the same profile.
Use candidate filters
To begin, click Candidates from the navigation bar.
You will be directed to the Candidates page, which allows you to view a complete list of all applications that have been submitted to your organization. By default, the Candidates page shows all active candidate applications on open jobs. The candidate filters on the left-hand panel can be used to edit or expand your search, such as to include prospects, rejected applications, or closed jobs.
Apply candidate filter
To apply a candidate filter, click the applicable section to expand.
Locate the filter you wish to apply and click the dropdown to select an option.
Note: Some filters use a checkbox or date range instead of a dropdown menu. See below for more guidance on the available filters.
The selected filter will be reflected at the top of the page, and the list of applications will adjust automatically to account for the filter.
Repeat this process to apply as many filters as necessary to adjust the list of applications.
Note: More than one option can be selected from a given filter. For example, if you wish to search for active, rejected, and hired candidate applications on open jobs, select each application status one at a time from the Profile Details > Status filter. Each filter will appear at the top of the All Candidates page as it is selected.
Remove candidate filter
To remove a candidate filter, locate the filter at the top of the Candidates page and click the X to the right of the filters.
The filter will be removed, and the list of applications will adjust automatically to reflect the change.
