How-to: Reviewing Candidates

Overview

By default, you’ll receive an email notification every time a candidate completes an interview. You can also get notified in Slack.

Finding candidates to review

Once a candidate finishes their interview, they appear automatically in the To evaluate tab for your position. If you have a lot of candidates to filter through, click on the filter or sort icon on the right to help you find the right candidate.

Steps

1. Open the candidate

   Click on the candidate you want to review.

2. Rate their interview

   On the left, assign a rating from 0.5 to 5, in increments of 0.5.

   Want to rate each question individually instead? Enable Allow rating per question in Rating Settings, and the candidate’s overall score will be calculated automatically as the average of the question scores.

3. Add notes

   Add notes in the notes box, then click Save comment.

   
4. Shortlist or discard

   Liked the candidate? Click the green Shortlist button. Not moving forward with them? Discard their interview instead.

   To move between candidates without leaving the review view, use the Previous and Next candidate buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Learn how to share an entire stage (like “To evaluate”) with a hiring manager, so new completed interviews are added to the same link automatically. Understanding when to share a full stage, bulk share selected interviews, or share a single interview helps you pick the safest option each time.
