Review Applicants

Cavuno includes a built-in applicant tracking system for jobs that collect applications directly on your board. Employers can review applicants per job, download resumes, and move candidates through a hiring pipeline without leaving the board.

Native applications are optional. If an employer already uses a separate ATS, keep using an external application URL for that job.

Quick apply

Jobs using Cavuno native applications support Quick apply. Candidates can apply directly on your board without completing a long external form, which keeps the application process fast and branded.

Quick apply does not apply to jobs that use an external application URL. Those jobs still send candidates to the employer’s ATS, careers page, or form.

Choose native or external applications

Every job needs an application method:

• Native applications: candidates apply on your board, and applications appear in the employer’s applicant view
• External applications: candidates click through to the employer’s ATS, careers page, or application form

Use native applications when the employer wants Cavuno to collect applicant details and manage review. Use an external URL when the employer already has a required hiring workflow outside Cavuno.

Open applicants for a job

1. Sign in as an employer
2. Open the employer jobs area
3. Find the job you want to review
4. Open the job’s applicants view

The applicants view shows the candidates who applied to that job. Each applicant keeps their application details tied to the specific listing, so employers can review candidates in the context of the role they applied for.

Review candidate details

Open an applicant to see their application and candidate information in one place. If the candidate uploaded a resume, use the resume download action in the applicant panel.

If the candidate applied as a guest and later signs in with the same email address, Cavuno can attach the application to their candidate account. Signed-in candidates use their account email during apply, which keeps application ownership clear.

Move applicants through stages

Use the pipeline stages to track hiring progress for each job. Move applicants as their status changes, such as from a new application to review, interview, offer, or rejection.

Stages are job-specific review states. They are separate from the broader talent directory, which is for candidate discovery and profiles outside a single job application.

Customize ATS copy

Board owners can customize applicant tracking labels and application copy in the visual editor. Use this when your board needs different wording for employers, candidates, or a specific niche.

Copy changes affect the board experience, not the underlying application records.
