If you decide it's time to move a candidate to another stage after reviewing the application, a phone call or an interview, you can move a single candidate to another stage, or you can move multiple candidates at once. In this article we take you through both options.

Moving a single candidate to a different stage

There are two ways to move a single candidate to a different stage:

  1. Changing the stage from the candidate's profile

    • Via the sidebar on the left, click on a job opening under 'Your jobs' or head to the 'Jobs' page to navigate to the specific job the candidate applied for.

    • Click 'Candidates' next to the 'Apply Form' at the top.

    • Open the profile of the candidate you wish to move.

    • In the task bar at the top, click the arrow icon and select the new stage you'd like to move them to.

  2. Using drag and drop on the job overview page

    • Via the sidebar on the left, click on a job opening under 'Your jobs' or head to the 'Jobs' page to navigate to the specific job the candidate applied for.

    • Click 'Candidates' next to 'Apply Form' at the top.

    • Ensure you are in the board view by clicking the dotted square.

    • Click and drag the candidate's name to the desired stage.

Moving multiple candidates to a different stage

  1. Via the sidebar on the left, click on a job opening under 'Your jobs' or head to the 'Jobs' page to navigate to the specific job the candidate applied for.

  2. Click 'Candidates' next to 'Apply form' at the top.

  3. Ensure you are in the list view by clicking the icon with three lines and a dot in front of each line (right from the dotted square icon, indicating the board view).

  4. Use the checkboxes to select the candidates you want to move.

  5. At the bottom of the page, click 'Move to stage' and select the stage you want to move the candidates to. The candidates will then be moved to the selected stage.
