# Understanding Spott's Inbound Applications

> How Spott captures incoming applications, scores them with AI, and moves them into your pipeline.

**Inbound applications** are all candidates who apply through your job board posting,
LinkedIn, or an integrated [multiposter](/docs/integrations/multiposting) such as
[Broadbean](/docs/integrations/broadbean). Applications are
automatically linked to the right job, enriched with candidate data, and queued for
your review, so no application is missed.

## Access a job's Inbound tab

In Spott, go to **Jobs**, open the job, and click the **Inbound** tab.

## Candidate list

Each applicant row shows, among others:

* Name and avatar
* **Match score** (0 to 100, from Very Weak to Very Strong Match). Click the score
  for an explanation per criterion.
* Email and phone
* Work experience, with the latest roles expandable for details
* Location

Use the **Triage** button to adjust the AI criteria used for scoring.

## Candidate status

Filter applicants by:

* **For Review**: new applicants, the default list
* **Accepted**: moved into the pipeline
* **Rejected**: with two options: reject and keep in your database, or reject and
  delete from the database

## Workflow

* Review inbound applicants and their AI scores.
* Accept top candidates, individually or in bulk, straight into the pipeline stage
  of your choice.
* Reject applicants who do not meet the requirements.

<Tip>
  Match scores are based on the job's description, details, and intake notes.
  Detailed sourcing criteria on the job's Overview tab give more accurate results.
