How do I handle the applications I get?
Each application arrives in your account as a conversation with the candidate, and we email you when one does. From the inbox you read, shortlist, put on hold, decline and reply.
The inbox
One inbox holds every application and every candidate you contacted, newest first, with a filter for each. Each vacancy’s page in your account lists its own applications too.
Moving people along
- Shortlist: the people you want to talk to.
- Put on hold: maybe later.
- Decline: they see the decision. A short note softens it; edit the one we suggest, or send it as it is.
Candidates see each stage on their side, so nobody is left guessing.
Answering
Reply in the conversation. Keep saved replies for the messages you send twenty times, translate a message in another language with one click, offer interview times the candidate confirms in one tap, and call by voice or video. See How do I reply to candidates?.
Good to know
Reading applications takes Pro Lite or Pro. See Why can I not read an application?.
