This section indicates if the candidate is a referral, an internal candidate, or a potential duplicate. If the candidate is a referral, hover over the Referral label to view the related referral questions and responses.
When you review a candidate's application, you can Advance or Reject them based on how you'd like to move them in the pipeline. Advance or Reject a candidate (user permissions permitting).

You can quickly record scorecard feedback for a candidate using the Leave Feedback button. All scorecard feedback is recorded in the Feedback section of the candidate's profile.

Note: Your scorecards are visible to all recruiters, hiring managers, and other users with permission to view the candidate or role. Notes recorded here are considered public notes.

View the documents directly in app, or click the download icon next to the file name to store and view locally.
If the candidate responded to custom application questions through a job post or job post request email, the questions and responses appear here.
The Application History section provides an overview of other jobs the candidate has applied to.

If your permissions allow, you can view scorecards submitted for the candidate on those jobs as well.
You must either be a Site Admin or be assigned Job Admin permissions on the candidate's other jobs to see their application history.
