Managing Applicants

The employer's applicant pipeline on your board, and how it differs from your own operator applicant review.

When a job uses native applications, the people who apply flow into an applicant pipeline the employer manages from their dashboard on your board. This page explains that employer-side pipeline and how it differs from your own operator applicant review.

The employer pipeline

An employer opens a job's applicants from their dashboard and works through them in a pipeline of stages, moving each applicant along as they review. Access is scoped to the employer's approved company membership: an employer only sees applicants for the jobs belonging to a company they represent.

How it differs from your operator review

Your board has two distinct applicant surfaces, and it helps to keep them separate:

  • The employer pipeline (this page) is the employer's own view, scoped to their company's jobs, authorized by company membership.
  • Your operator applicant review is board-wide and authorized by your ownership of the board. It is documented separately in review applicants.

They serve different people, so a candidate, a job, and an application can appear in both, viewed through each side's own lens.

Availability

  • Plan: The built-in applicant pipeline and native Quick apply require the Starter plan or higher.
  • Setting: None specific to the pipeline. It depends on jobs using native applications rather than an external URL, and on the employer having an approved company membership.
  • Setup required: None beyond a Starter (or higher) plan and jobs configured for native applications.

Limitations

  • Only native applications appear in the pipeline. Jobs that use an external application URL produce no applicants here, because your board cannot confirm what happens on the employer's site.
  • An employer sees applicants only for the company whose membership they hold approved.
