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.  

Within the Applicant Table, labels are useful indicators of the progress within a stage. All stages with automated actions have their own labels. Read more about labels here.
