Candidate Pipeline View

Last updated: April 9, 2026

Inside a job, you can view and manage your candidates across two views — the Pipeline view and the Candidates view. Both give you visibility into where candidates are in your hiring process, with different layouts suited to different ways of working

Navigate to: Jobs & Requisitions → open a job → Pipeline or Candidates tab

Pipeline view

The Pipeline tab shows your hiring stages as a Kanban-style board. Each stage appears as a column, and candidates appear as cards within their current stage. You can scroll horizontally to see all stages.

  • Each stage column shows the name of the stage and the total count of candidates currently in that stage.

  • Each candidate card shows the candidate's name, current status, and time spent in the stage.

  • In the Application Review column, an AI Score is shown on each card where available. A Quick review card also appears at the top of the column — click Review now to go through applicants one by one.

  • You can drag and drop candidate cards from one stage column to another to move them through the pipeline.

  • The Sort by dropdown at the top right lets you sort candidates within each column — for example, by AI score or last activity.

  • View rejected shows the count of rejected candidates. Clicking it takes you to the Rejected column in the Candidates tab.

  • At the top left of the Pipeline view, you will see a Prospects link. Clicking this takes you to the Prospect stage in the Candidates tab, where all prospects are listed.

Candidates view

The Candidates tab inside a job gives you a complete view of everyone in your hiring pipeline — where they are, what their status is, and what actions need to be taken. You can review candidates individually or work with them in bulk.

At the top of the Candidates tab, you will see a stage bar that shows candidate counts across all pipeline stages. Click any stage to filter the list to candidates in that stage.

  • Prospect and Rejected are fixed at either end of the bar and cannot be scrolled past.

  • The stages in between (Application Review, Phone Screen, Assessment, Face to face, Offer, etc.) reflect your job's interview plan. If your pipeline has many stages, you can scroll horizontally through them.

  • Click All Stages to view all candidates across the pipeline together.

  4. If the AI could not score a candidate due to insufficient data, it will show as Failed — you can still review them manually.
