The Candidates tab on a job shows all candidates linked to that role, organized by stage. It gives you a clear overview of progress and lets you manage every step of the hiring process.

Access a job’s pipeline

The Candidates tab in board view
In Spott, go to Jobs, open the job, and click the Candidates tab.

Pipeline stages

A candidate card with quick actions
Candidates move through your pipeline stages, for example Sourced, Engaged, Interview, Presented, and Placed. The stages are fully customizable from Settings → Stages. Stages are set workspace-wide, not per job, so a change applies to every job that uses that pipeline.

Add a candidate to the pipeline

Click the + on any stage column to add a candidate directly to that stage. Search for an existing candidate, or use Upload CV to create one on the spot, then click Add to job.
The Add candidate to job dialog opened from a stage's plus button

Two views

  • Board view: a Kanban-style board with drag and drop.
  • List view: a table that is sortable and filterable.
In board view, click the number at the top of a column to cycle what it counts: all candidates, in-process, or rejected.

Candidate cards

Each candidate appears as a card showing their name and role, plus quick actions for notes, the latest CV, tasks, communication, and opening the full profile. Drag and drop cards to move candidates between stages, or drop them on the rejected group to reject them.
Reject a candidate from the stage they are in, rather than moving them forward first and then rejecting. Rejecting from the current stage keeps your stage-conversion reporting accurate. To reverse a rejection, open the application and bring the candidate back into the pipeline.

Bulk actions

The bulk actions snackbar on the pipeline
Select multiple candidates with the checkboxes to act on them at once: move to a stage, change label, reject, present, enroll in a campaign, add to another job or a list, send an email, or publish them to the Company Portal. Use the search bar (Boolean queries supported) or filters to quickly find candidates in the pipeline by name, company, or other attributes.
