# Understanding Spott's Company Portal
> Give clients direct, secure access to the candidates you present for their roles.
The Company Portal is a secure space where your clients can view their open roles,
track candidate submissions, and collaborate with your team. It reduces back-and-forth
communication and gives clients real-time visibility into the hiring process.
## Access a job's Company Portal tab
In Spott, go to **Jobs**, open the job, and click the **Company Portal** tab. Inside,
the subtabs show the portal **Overview**, client **Activity**, published
**Candidates**, and **Rejected** candidates.
## Publishing candidates
You control exactly who is visible to the client:
* Publish a single candidate with **Publish on portal**.
* Publish in bulk from the job's pipeline: select candidates with the checkboxes and
choose **Add to company portal**.
* Publish **automatically by stage**: with **Show all candidates in real time**
enabled, configure which pipeline stages trigger publication. Candidates are then
shared with the client as soon as they reach the right stage, with no manual
publishing one by one.
## Portal controls
On the right panel you can:
* **Open or close the portal** with the status toggle.
* **Preview** the portal to see exactly what your client will see.
* Choose the **visible candidate fields**: first and last name, profile picture, email
and phone, city and country, LinkedIn, latest CV, work experience, and education. Any
**custom attributes** on the record can be shown too.
* Toggle **Show all candidates in real time** so newly added or updated candidates appear
for the client automatically, rather than a fixed snapshot. Each pipeline stage has its
own toggle, so you decide which stages publish to the portal; early stages such as a
long list can stay internal while later stages share automatically. You can also choose
whether to show candidate **stages** and **scorecards**.
* Show or hide the **hiring team** names and their contact details.
* **Invite contacts**: send client contacts an email with their personal access link
to the portal.
Only contacts registered under the company associated with the job can be invited to
the portal.
## Workflow
* Select which candidates to publish.
* Configure the visible fields to show or hide details.
* Invite the client contacts who should have access.
* Track their feedback and activity from the Activity subtab.
Clients can **view candidates, leave comments, and request an interview**. They cannot
move candidates between stages, reject candidates, or bulk-export files. Those stay
with your team.
