How to Review Candidates Faster

Last updated: March 12, 2026

The Quick Review feature helps you review candidates quickly in the Application Review stage. It lets you view candidate details, collaborate with your team, and take actions without opening each profile separately.

This helps recruiters move through large applicant queues faster.

Prerequisites

  • You must have access to the job pipeline.

  • Candidates must be present in the Application Review stage.

The Quick Review window displays key information to help you make faster decisions.

You can view:

  • Candidate details – Basic information about the applicant

  • Application form responses – Answers submitted during the application

  • AI score and breakdown – AI-generated evaluation based on job criteria

  • Applied date – The date the candidate applied to the job

  • Other jobs – Any other jobs where the candidate is currently part of the pipeline

This information helps you understand the candidate’s history and context without leaving the review window.

Add Notes and Collaborate

You can leave feedback while reviewing the candidate.

In the Quick Review window, you can:

  • Add a note about the candidate

  • Tag a team member to notify them

  • Choose the note visibility:

    • Public – Visible to the candidate

    • Private – Internal only

Take Action on the Candidate

After reviewing the candidate, you can take one of the following actions.

* Move the Candidate Forward

Move the candidate to the next stage in the hiring pipeline.

When moving a candidate:

  • Select the stage where the candidate should move

  • Enable Remember this selection for next applicant to apply the same stage automatically to the next candidate

This reduces repeated clicks during high-volume reviews.

* Reject the Candidate

Reject candidates directly from the Quick Review window.

When rejecting a candidate, you can:

  • Select a rejection reason

  • Send a rejection email to the candidate

  • Add the candidate to an existing project

  • Create a new project during the rejection process

If you enable Remember this selection for next applicant, the same rejection settings apply to the next candidate you reject.

Skip Viewed Candidates

Use Skip viewed candidates to avoid reviewing the same candidates again.

When enabled:

  • Previously reviewed candidates are skipped

  • The system automatically shows the next eligible candidate for review

This helps you move through the review queue efficiently.
