Review and shortlist candidates
Candidates lists applications across your jobs. Filter by Job, Screening result, Match score and Status, open a person to see their profile, resume and answers, and mark them Shortlist, Maybe or Reject. The Status filter has New, Shortlisted, Maybe, Interviewing, Offered, Hired and Closed.
Steps
- Open Candidates in the menu. Use the filters above the table: Job, Application type, Screening result, Match score and Status.
- On a row, choose Shortlist, Maybe or Reject. You can click the same button again to undo it.
- Select a candidate's name to open their page, with the profile, resume and answers.
- On the candidate page, choose Schedule interview, or use the stage button ("Stage: ...") to move them under "Move to". Choosing Offered opens the Job offer form, and sending the offer moves them to Offered.
What the statuses mean
- New: applied, and you have not responded yet.
- Shortlisted: you marked them as interesting.
- Maybe: a marker on someone who has applied and is not yet decided. They appear in the Maybe filter.
- Interviewing, Offered, Hired: the later stages.
- Closed: Rejected (you ended it), Declined (they turned down your offer) or Withdrew (they left before an offer).
Good to know
- The Match score filter offers Ideal (90 and up), Strong or better (65 and up) and Good or better (40 and up).
- Select the score on a row to see "Why this match". The score weighs skills, experience, location and pay. It helps you prioritise and never accepts or rejects anyone.
- ID verified means they proved who they are with a government ID and a selfie. Self-verified means LiveRec reviewed their answers and documents. Neither is a background check.
- When a candidate applied to other jobs of yours, their page shows "Also applied to N other jobs of yours". You cannot see applications to other companies.
