Candidate list columns - Classic Recruiter Experience
Column Description

Assessment Status

Assessment Score

Recommended Candidate

Displays the status and results of assessments completed by each candidate.

Note: These columns are only available when assessments are configured for your organization.

Candidate Name

The candidate names are displayed either as bold or regular text. When a candidate's name is displayed in bold, you haven’t yet viewed their profile. Once you view their profile, the name is no longer bolded.

The application also displays the candidate’s contact information, along with their name, if available. This allows you to access the information without having to open the Candidate Profile.

Country Code

Displays the country code for the candidate's current country.

Communication Style

If candidates completed a TeamRelate survey, Recruiting displays their communication style, along with a color-coded icon:

Communication style column showing a candidate with the Tracker-Director TeamRelate style.

You can click this column to view their TeamRelate profile. This profile includes the same information that appears in the TeamRelate section of their Candidate Profile.

See Send Candidates a TeamRelate Survey.

Current Company

Displays the name of the candidate's current company, based on their most recent job application. For internal candidates, this name is based on the client name that was defined for your organization.

Current Title

Displays the candidate's current job title, based on their most recent job application. For internal candidates, this title is based on the primary work assignment defined for the employee in their HR record.

Date Applied

Displays the date that the candidate applied or was assigned to the requisition by a recruiter.

Documents

Role authorization access: All applicable document types in Documents > Admin > Document Types. See Configure Access to Candidate Documents in Recruiting.

The Documents column can display the following:

  • If a candidate uploaded a resume to a job application, Recruiting displays a CV icon () under the Documents column. Click the icon to download the resume.
  • Note: You can also download resumes in the candidate profile. See Candidate Profiles and Job Application Profiles.
  • If a candidate used LinkedIn to apply for the job, Recruiting displays a LinkedIn icon (). Click the icon to open the profile in a separate browser window.
  • If a candidate, recruiter, or other user has uploaded supporting documents for the job application, or if the candidate has right to work documents that were added from Sterling, Recruiting displays the supporting documents icon () showing the number of documents that are available.
  • When you click the supporting document icon, one of the following occurs:
    • If there's only one supporting document, it's downloaded automatically.
    • If there's more than one supporting document, the Additional Documents dialog box opens. To download a document, click the icon next to it:

Expander

Displays an expander arrow for each candidate. You can click the arrow to expand the row and view additional information for the candidate, including their contact information, address, and current job. The expanded row also includes an Applied Jobs section which provides the same functionality as the Applied Jobs tab in the candidate's profile.

Grade

Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Job Requisitions > Candidate Grades

Displays the grade that was assigned to each candidate's job application. See View Candidate Grades.

Note: This column is only displayed if the candidate grading functionality is enabled for your organization.

I-9 Screening Order

Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Job Requisitions > I-9 Screening Results

If an I-9 screening order was initiated for a candidate, this column displays a link to that order.

Click the link and Recruiting opens a separate browser window where you can view the order on your screening partner's website. See Candidate Background and I-9 Screening.

Indicators

Displays the indicators that apply to each candidate. See Candidate Indicators.

Last Modified

Modified By

The last time that a candidate's status was updated and who performed the update.

Moreover, when the candidate first applies to the job, their name is displayed here; meanwhile, when a recruiter first assigns a candidate to the requisition, the recruiter's name is displayed here.

These columns are also updated when a user links or unlinks a candidate. See Link Candidates to Their Former Employee Record.

You can also view the history of these actions in the Recent Activity list of the Status tab for the job requisition. See Track Job Requisition Activity.

Note: The Last Modified column displays the last modified date and time based on your organization's server time rather than your local time.

Pin Candidate

Displays the pin candidate icon for each candidate. You can click this icon to add or remove candidates from the Pinned list below the Candidate Management tab in the Recruiting side panel.

See Pin and Unpin Candidates from the Side Panel.

Location

Displays the candidate's current location (City, State/Province).

Re-apply Waiting Period

If candidates applied to an Evergreen (that is, continuously open) posting where a recruiter defined a reapply wait period, Recruiting displays the number of days before a candidate can reapply to the posting. See Candidate Reapply Feature.

Right To Work Status

If a right to work verification order was initiated for a candidate, this column displays the status of that order.

See Right to Work Order Statuses.

Score

If the candidate completed one or more scored questionnaires as part of their job application, this column displays their overall score.

Screening Order

Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Job Requisitions > Background Screening Results > Adjudication Status

If a background screening order was initiated for a candidate, this column displays a link to that order. Depending on configuration, an adjudication status might also be displayed.

Click the link and Recruiting opens a separate browser window where you can view the order on your screening partner's website. See Candidate Background and I-9 Screening.

Selected

Displays a checkbox for each candidate. You can use these checkboxes to select and take actions for multiple candidates in the list at once.

Shortlist

Displays the shortlist candidate icon for each candidate. You can click this icon to add or remove candidates from the shortlist. See Shortlist Candidates.

Site Name

Displays the site that the candidate applied from.

The Site Name column is different from the Source column, which allows candidates or recruiters to select the name of the client site, or a more specific source (for example, "Employee Referral"). However, if they select the name of the client site as the source, the Site Name and Source columns display the same value.

Other information about the Site Name column:

  • For candidates that were added to the Recruiting module via the New Candidate wizard of the Talent Community tab, the Site Name column is cleared.
  • The Site Name column also displays external job boards that candidates applied from (for example, Workopolis, CareerBuilder).
SMS Consent Indicates whether the candidate provided their consent to receive Short Message Service (SMS) text messages on their mobile phone.

Source

Displays the job application source, and information that candidates or recruiters added about the source.

In the above example, the job application source is Education Institution, and the additional information is Waterloo University Career Fair.

See Update Candidate Source.

Status

Displays the candidate's current status. Candidate statuses are used to track a candidate's progress through the recruiting process.

Candidates with a declined status are filtered off of the list, by default. This means that each time you open the Candidates tab, declined candidates aren't displayed. However, you can still access these candidates by changing the filter settings.

The system also appends decline reasons and offer letter rejection reasons to the text of the Status column.
