Recruitment

Manage candidates

Review applications, move candidates through your pipeline, reject, email and tag them in bulk.

Open a job from Recruitment → Jobs. On the job's page, select View All Applications for a list of candidates, or View Kanban → for a board with a column per stage. The job page also shows how many applications are pending, in review, interviewed or rejected.

Review a candidate

Select a candidate to open their profile:

  • Overview: contact details, CV and cover letter, current stage, days in that stage, score and status.
  • History: every stage they've been through, when, and who moved them.
  • Scorecards: interviewers' ratings.
  • Notes: comments from the hiring team.

Move a candidate on, or reject them

  • Select Advance Stage →, choose the target stage and confirm. If the stage requires a scorecard and none has been submitted, KalHR asks for one first.
  • Select ✕ Reject, choose a Rejection Reason and select Confirm Reject.

Act on several candidates at once

On the applications list, tick the candidates, then choose from the bar that appears:

ActionWhat it does

RejectRejects them with one reason
Send EmailEmails them from a template or your own message
Add Tag / Remove TagLabels them, for example Strong communicator
Assign InterviewerAdds interviewers to a stage for them
Export CSVDownloads their details

Use the tabs above the list (All Candidates, one per stage, Rejected, Archived) and the status filter to narrow it down.
