Tracking Applications

Published July 07, 2026

Reviewing applicants

Open a job posting and click View All Applications to see everyone who has applied, with their status, AI score, assigned recruiter, and applied date. Filter the list by status or sort by newest or highest score, then click through to an application for the full picture: contact details, cover letter, resume, AI fit summary, and scoring rationale.

Moving applicants through stages

Each application carries a status - new, reviewed, shortlisted, interview, offered, rejected, hired, or withdrawn. Change it from the application's page with a single click, and every change is recorded in a status history so you can see who moved an applicant and when. Marking an application rejected or hired also sends the candidate an update email, as long as automatic applicant emails are turned on under Jobs > Settings - see Creating Job Postings.

Assigning and adding notes

Assign an application to a recruiter on your team so ownership is clear, and add notes to capture interview feedback or anything else worth remembering. Notes and status history are visible to anyone on your team with access to Jobs.

The resume

Candidates attach files when they apply - up to three, as PDF, DOC, DOCX, PNG, or JPEG - and each is available to open or download from the application's page alongside their cover letter.
