Finding the perfect candidate in such a competitive job market can be a challenge. Instead of looking at only one candidate at a time, there is a smarter and more efficient way to do it!
The candidate comparison feature helps you compare candidates side by side for a better view of their qualifications, experience, and skills. In addition to saving time, this feature is designed to enable smarter decision-making.
Compare candidates
Start by opening a job process where you would like to compare candidates. There, activate Bulk select (1) and select the candidates you would like to compare (2). After that, go ahead and click on the Compare button located in the action bar.
You can compare up to 50 candidates at once
Available information
In the candidate comparison view, you will see the chosen candidates and their data split into different sections and columns.

Job match score / Scorecard
The job match score comes from evaluating selected skills and traits of the candidate during the Interview phase. Read more about how to use this feature here.
If no skills or traits have been selected for the job, this section will display any scored skills or traits evaluated through an Interview kit or Scorecard.

If your company uses a partner integration for sending out assessments to your candidates through Teamtailor these results will be available for comparison.

If you would like to have one or several candidates always displayed when navigating through the comparison table, then the pin option is a perfect solution for this. To pin a candidate, hover over their name and click on the pin symbol.
Hide candidates from the comparison view
You also have the option to hide candidates, if you no longer want them to be included in the comparison. Simply click on the symbol with the eye on it, and the candidate will be excluded from the list.
Bulk select candidates
Activate the bulk selector to perform actions for multiple candidates at once in the comparison mode or the job process:
Reveal candidates from anonymous mode

Wide columns
To make more space for information for each candidate, activate wide columns in the top right-hand corner.
