Reviewing an Application#

Select "Review" on any application to open. This shows the listing details alongside the candidate's application, including their submitted documents and screening results:

You can download the candidate's resume, cover letter, and other attached documents:

Leave notes for your team to collaborate on hiring decisions:

If the listing includes screening questions, you can view the candidate's responses and whether they passed or failed:

To allow a candidate to re-submit, change the status to "Not Yet Reviewed" or "Under Review". The candidate will receive a notification that they can update their application and re-submit.

Updating Application Status#

You can update the status of each application to keep track of where candidates are in your hiring process. These statuses are internal to your workflow.

Note: Candidates cannot see your internal status updates. They only know whether their application has been submitted or not.
