All your candidates will have one, or several, candidate statuses. Let’s take a closer look at them and what they show you:

General statuses

💡 The general candidate statuses can be used to filter in your talent pool (the Candidates tab) by applying the Candidate status filter

Applied

Candidates who have made an application to one of your jobs will have the status Applied. Note that this status will be available in the Application status section.

Connected

Candidates who have connected with your company get this status. Read more about Connect here.

Sourced

Candidates that have been manually added to your system are marked as Sourced. You can read more about this here.

Lead

When a visitor writes in your candidate chat, a candidate profile will be created and assigned the status Lead. Think of this as a lead for a potential candidate. Learn more about the Candidate chat here.

Referred

Candidates who have been referred by one of your users will be marked with the status Referred. Get more insight into how referrals work here.

Internal*

If you are working with internal recruitment, your internal candidates will have this status added to their candidate profile. Read more about internal recruitment here.

If you’re working with external recruiters, you’ll see this status on candidates sourced by an external recruiter. This filter can be found under the other External recruitment filters. Read more about external recruiters here.

*These statuses are connected to add-on features, more on that here.
