Filtering and searching for candidates

Written by Héctor

You can search and filter candidates from the Candidates page to quickly find who you're looking for or surface who needs attention — across all your jobs at once.


Searching for candidates

From anywhere in Homerun Use Cmd + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows), or click the search icon in the sidebar, to search across your entire account.

From the Candidates page Click Candidates in the sidebar, then use the search bar to find a candidate by first name, last name, email address, or phone number.


Filtering on the Candidates page

Click Filters on the Candidates page to open the filter panel. You can apply one or multiple filters at the same time — the list updates as you apply them.

Job

Filter by one or more specific job openings to narrow the list to candidates in those roles.

Stage

Filter by stage name to see all candidates currently at a specific point in the hiring process — across all selected jobs.

First reply overdue

Shows candidates who are still waiting for a first reply and whose set reply timeframe has passed. Useful for making sure no one falls through the cracks.

Unread replies

Shows candidates who have replied to your team's email but whose reply hasn't been read yet.

Unread mentions

Shows candidates where a team member has @mentioned you in a comment and you haven't seen it yet.

Needs your review

Shows candidates who are waiting on your review after an event has taken place.

Events

Filter by event status:

  • Needs scheduling — candidates who need an event scheduled

  • Upcoming — candidates with an event coming up

  • Pending scheduling request — candidates who have received a scheduling request but haven't confirmed yet

Data retention

Filter by data retention status:

  • Expiring soon — candidates whose data retention period is coming to an end

  • Expired — candidates whose data retention period has already passed

Useful for staying on top of GDPR compliance and processing deletions or retention extensions in bulk.

Origin

Filter by how the candidate entered Homerun — either applied via the application form or sourced manually.

Tags

Filter by one or more tags applied to candidates.

Application review

Filter by the review status of candidates in the application stage.


Clearing filters

To remove all active filters, click Clear all in the filter panel. To remove a single filter, deselect it individually.
