Applications

The Applications area shows the candidates who have applied to your roles. You can review applications per job on a board organised by stage, or search across every application company-wide, then move candidates through your hiring stages.

Finding applications

  • Per job — open a job and view its applications on a board organised by stage, or as a table.
  • Company-wide — use the Applications view to search and filter applications across all jobs.

Application detail

Each application shows:
  • Application details — the candidate’s answers and submitted information
  • Documents — any files attached to the application, such as a CV
  • History — a timeline of stage changes and actions taken on the application
  • Other applications — the same candidate’s other applications, where available
You can also leave comments and collaborate with your team as you review a candidate.

Stages

Applications move through a set of hiring stages. On a job’s board, candidates are organised into columns by stage so you can see where everyone is and move them forward.
StageMeaning
AppliedNew applications
ShortlistedSelected for further consideration
InterviewedHas been through an interview
OfferedAn offer has been extended
HiredOffer accepted — a final stage
RejectedNot progressing — a final stage
WithdrawnCandidate withdrew, or was withdrawn — a final stage
Hired, Rejected, and Withdrawn are terminal: once an application reaches one of these, the only way to move it again is to Reinstate it.

Moving applications

Use the actions on an application to move it between stages:
ActionEffect
ShortlistMove to Shortlisted
Move to interviewMove to Interviewed
Make offerMove to Offered
HireMove to Hired
Mark as withdrawnMove to Withdrawn
DisqualifyMove to Rejected, with a reason
Move to stageMove to a specific stage
ReinstateBring a disqualified or final-stage application back into the pipeline
You can also rate an application, and add a note when taking an action. Only the actions that are valid for an application’s current stage are offered. Disqualified applications, and those that have been hired, can only be reinstated.
Per-company custom stage lists are not yet configurable in Studio — the stages above are the standard set used across the pipeline.
Applications and candidate records are held in Talent Bank. Some details and actions depend on your Talent Bank configuration.
