What's new

The candidates page now uses a bucket-based layout. Instead of one flat list, your talent is grouped into separate tabs based on where they are in your hiring process:

  • 💼 Leads — candidates you've saved from sourcing but haven't contacted yet

  • ➡️ Contacted — leads you've reached out to

  • 📋 Invited — candidates who have been sent an assessment invitation

  • ✅ Completed — candidates who have finished their assessment

Only one bucket is shown at a time. The Leads bucket is open by default when you land on the page, and your last-selected bucket is remembered if you navigate away and come back.

The Leads bucket

The Leads bucket shows everyone you've saved from sourcing for this job.

What you can do here:

  • Contact a candidate — click any row to open the communication panel and send an email. If you're on a free plan with no remaining sourcing searches, you'll be prompted to upgrade instead.

  • Mark as not interested — click the button on the right side of a row to remove someone from your list. The row disappears immediately and the list refreshes in the background.

  • Bulk contact — select multiple leads and send a sourcing invite to all of them at once.

  • Bulk unsave — select multiple leads and remove them from your shortlist in one action. Supports selecting across all pages.

Filters available:

  • Email status
    ℹ️ Note: New Email and Unresponsive filter options will be available once email communication replies are supported — coming soon.


The Contacted bucket

The Contacted bucket shows leads you've already reached out to.

What you can do here:

  • Click any row to open the communication panel

  • Bulk invite to assessment — select multiple contacted candidates and send them an assessment invitation in one go. You can select across all pages. Invitations are processed asynchronously, so you'll get a confirmation once they're sent.


The Invited and Completed buckets

These buckets show candidates who have been sent an assessment invitation (Invited) or have finished it (Completed). This is the same candidate data you're used to seeing in your assessment details view.


The candidate side panel

Clicking on a candidate opens a side panel where you can:

  • View candidate overview details

  • Switch to job details for context on the role

  • Compose and send emails without losing your draft when switching tabs


Frequently asked questions
