What it does

Lists every job application linked to this candidate — current and archived. Each row shows the job, job status, the date the candidate applied, the current application status, and an action. Click a row to open the application on its kanban board; use Add Job Application to create a new application without leaving the profile.

The Applications tab. Click any row to jump straight to that application on the kanban board.

How to use it

  1. Open the Applications tab

    It shows one row per application, including archived ones (toggle-able).

  2. Review stages

    Each row’s badge tells you where the candidate is in the pipeline — for example Phone screen, Client interview or Offer.

  3. Apply to a new job

    Click Add Job Application, pick a job from the searchable list, confirm. A new application is created with stage New.

  4. Jump into an application

    Click any row to open the kanban board for that job with this candidate’s card focused.

Adding the candidate to a job

The Add to job dialog. Pick a job, pick a starting status — that creates a fresh application.

From the Applications tab, click Add Job Application. The dialog asks for two things:

  • Job — type to search across active jobs. Closed jobs are filtered out.
  • Starting status — usually New or To review. Defaults to your team’s configured first status.

Saving creates the application; the candidate appears on that job’s kanban board immediately.

Tracking the application status

Each row shows where the candidate stands on that specific job.

Each application row shows the Job, Job Status, Applied on date, Status, and an Action link. Click the row to jump directly to the job’s kanban with that candidate highlighted. You can toggle the Filter out archive applications switch at the top of the tab to hide or show archived applications. Status changes happen on the kanban (see Move applicant in workflow), not from here.

Tips

  • Avoid duplicate applications. If the candidate is already on the job, the Add dialog warns you instead of creating a second application.
  • Multiple active applications are fine. A strong candidate can run two parallel processes (e.g. a senior role and an architect role) without confusion.
  • Closed jobs stay visible. The history of past applications stays on the candidate profile for ever — useful when the candidate re-applies a year later.
