As a recruiter, you might have hundreds of applicants to manage at any given time. The Applicant Table sorts applicants based on their current status and provides an easy way to view and organize all of your applicants in one place.

The Applicant Table enables you to manage the applicants in a single Opening stage by stage. This visualization of the workflow makes it easier to view how applicants are moving through the workflow and assesses the health and efficiency of your funnel.

Search for Applicants

If you are looking for specific applicants, you can do so in two ways:

The search applicant box allows you to find individuals by name, email, phone number, or data on the applicant profile. You can enter multiple search words by separating them with a comma (,).

For example, if you want to find all the applicants with the name "Frank" who reside in California; type "frank, california".

Note

All applicants with the name Frank (first or last), with any reference to  California in their profile will show up in this search. This includes general information such as names, emails, addresses, etc. So if you are searching specifically for those who answered "California" per the question that includes this data key "us_state", use the advance filter.
