Pin and Unpin Candidates from the Side Panel

You can pin up to 50 candidates to the side panel in Recruiting. This allows you to quickly access the candidate profiles that you use frequently. Candidates in the Pinned list are displayed in alphabetical order by last name.

Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Candidate Management

The pinned candidates list is displayed below the Candidate Management tab in the side panel, and can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the Pinned label. When you pin a candidate, they are added to your own pinned candidates list, but not to the lists for other users (that is, they are only visible to you).

You can pin candidates in the following ways:

  • In the Candidates tab for job requisitions in Recruiting > Job Requisitions, select one or more candidates, and then select More > Pin Candidate from the toolstrip menu. If the candidates are already pinned, you can select Unpin Candidate instead. If you try to pin or unpin several candidates who have different pinned/unpinned statuses, the option to pin or unpin isn’t available.
  • In the candidate's profile, select More > Pin Candidate in the toolstrip menu. If the candidate is already pinned, you can select Unpin Candidate instead.
  • In Candidate Management, go to the candidate's profile and select More > Pin Candidate in the toolstrip menu.
  • In Talent Pools, click the pin candidate icon () next to the candidate's name in the search results.

After pinning a candidate, you can quickly remove them from the Pinned list in the side panel by hovering the cursor over their name and clicking the unpin candidate icon:

Action menu with the cursor hovered over the unpin candidate option.
