Find and review a candidate

Client Admins and Hiring Managers review candidates Cygnify has made available to them. A candidate is a person; an application is their consideration for a particular Job.

Find the candidate

1. Open Candidates, if available in your navigation. Search by name, title, company, location or email. Use the stage filter to narrow the results.
2. Select a candidate to open the preview. Use Open full profile for more detail.
3. Open Applications and select the correct Job. Check the Job title before acting.

You can also start from Dashboard > Candidate Kanban or open the Job’s candidates. Kanban is a board grouping applications by their current stage.

Review the application

Read the candidate’s experience, the CV in Files, and the available Job-specific notes and interview history. Cygnify releases applications for client review after its initial assessment. Stage names may be customised by Cygnify.

Approve a candidate for interview

To tell Cygnify you want to proceed, select Request interview on the application and send the request. Include why you want to progress and any questions the interview should address. Cygnify confirms scheduling and the next step.

For other available choices, select KIV / Hold to keep the application for later review, or Not Suitable to end consideration for this Job. Add the requested reason and confirm. A held application can use Resume workflow when you are ready to continue.

Check the saved application status or request confirmation. If an action is unavailable or a candidate is missing, ask your Talent Partner. For a decision after an interview, use Reveal feedback and decide the next step.
