The Candidates Page

View, search, and manage every candidate across your jobs from one list.

The Candidates page lists every applicant across all of your organization’s jobs. From here you can search, filter, star candidates, act on many at once, and open any candidate’s profile.

The header shows how many candidates match: total, active, and closed (hired, rejected, or do-not-contact). The list refreshes on its own every few seconds while the page is open, so new applicants and status changes appear without reloading.

Columns

ColumnWhat it shows
CheckboxSelect the candidate for bulk actions.
StarStar the candidate to add them to your Starred view.
CandidateName and phone number. A colored dot shows their fit tier when the Tier filter is on. A Test badge marks test candidates, and an icon marks referrals.
SourceWhere the candidate came from, such as Indeed, LinkedIn, Career Site, or Referral. When CONFIRM knows the exact job board posting, the chip links to it.
StatusThe candidate’s current status, with a short detail line underneath. A ↺ count means the candidate has applied before.
JobThe job they applied to.
AppliedWhen they applied, as a relative date such as “3 days ago”.

The detail line under the status

The small line under each status gives you the latest fact without opening the profile. Examples:

  • Voicemail left, No answer, Call failed, or Awaiting call: the latest screening call attempt.
  • Hung Up · Q3: the candidate hung up during question 3.
  • No phone number or No resume: something is missing.
  • The interview date and time, or Interviewed with the date once round 1 is done.
  • No-show, or No-show ×2 for repeat no-shows.
  • Out of range · 42 mi: the candidate lives beyond the job’s maximum distance.

Opening a candidate

Click any row to open the candidate’s profile in a panel on the right. The list stays in place behind it, so you can work through candidates one after another. Use Full profile in the panel to open the same view as its own page. See The Candidate Profile.

Searching, filtering, and sorting

Use the search box to find candidates by name, email, or phone. Search combines with the filters next to it: job, status, tier, source, pools, date, and more. See Filters and Saved Views.

Click the Candidate column header to sort by name, or Applied to sort by recent activity. Each click cycles ascending, descending, then off.

Starring candidates

Click the star on any row to flag a candidate. Stars are personal to you, so they’re useful for a shortlist you want to revisit. Click Starred in the views bar above the list to see only your starred candidates. You can also star a candidate from their profile.

Row menu

Hover a row and click ⋯ for quick actions:

  • View Profile opens the candidate’s profile panel.
  • Delete removes the candidate from your candidate list and cancels any upcoming interviews. Real candidates are kept on record, so contact CONFIRM support if you delete one by mistake. Test candidates are deleted permanently.

Pages

The list shows 20 candidates per page. Use the controls at the bottom to move between pages. The page number is kept in the page address, so refreshing keeps your place.

Adding candidates

Click Add in the page header to add a candidate by hand. See Adding Candidates.

Empty states

If nothing matches your search or filters, the page shows No candidates found with a Clear filters button. If your organization has no candidates yet, you’ll see No candidates yet with an Add Candidate button.
