Managing gig candidates

There are several actions you can take regarding candidates who apply for gigs. From the Applicants tab of the gig, select a candidate(s). You’ll see several dropdown options:

• Advance stage: This dropdown button allows you to move a candidate to a different stage in the gig hiring process, such as Screened, Interview, and Offer Extended.
• Contact: This dropdown button allows you to contact candidates through different channels, such as email, SMS, and WhatsApp, depending on what contact information a candidate has provided.
• Share: This button allows you to request feedback for selected candidates. A Request Feedback form will open with an email template where you can enter the reviewer’s email address, choose to send reminders about the review, and add an email message.
• Reject: This button allows you to reject a candidate from the gig hiring process. A Confirm Action form will open, where you can confirm the candidate’s new hiring stage (for instance, withdrawn or not selected), reason for rejection, and email that will be sent to the candidate.
• Schedule: This dropdown button allows you to request to schedule a meeting with the candidate (that is, have a hiring team member set up a meeting for you) or schedule a meeting with the candidate.
• More: This dropdown button provides several options, including the option to add the candidate as an ideal candidate, save the candidate to another pipeline, add tags to the candidate’s profile, and compare feedback for multiple candidates.
