Managing applicants can seem like a daunting task at times, and if you work as an HR manager, you probably struggle with that exact problem. From the moment you start receiving applications for a job opening, the paperwork starts to accumulate on your desk, from CV’s to cover letters and forms that need to be filled.

How to Manage Applicants on skeeled, step by step:

Under Actions you can choose to Qualify or Disqualify the candidates, who then will be sent to the Qualified and Disqualified tabs, respectively.
- On the Rejected tab, you will be able to see the applicants that were rejected by the algorithm. Even though the software rejected these applicants, you can always Requalify them if you still think they would be suitable for the position you are hiring for.
- Every tab displays the same set of information and actions for each candidate. For every individual line, you can see the candidates’ name and their Status, which you can change in this tab.
Still in the individual line, you can see how old is their application, their Rating and their Average Stars classification, which are given by the recruiters to each applicant. Furthermore, you can Qualify and Disqualify them, under Actions, Comment on their profile, see the Emails exchanged and also Share the profile with people outside your organisation.
- On the top right corner, you will see two buttons. The Show button allows you to change the number of applicants you see in each page. The Actions button allows you to perform several actions in bulk, like Email Applicants, Move and Copy them to jobs, Change Applicants’ Status, among others.
- If you click on a specific applicant, you will open their Profile Page, where you will get an overview of their personal information, video interview, personality test, professional experience and education, plus, more personal information on the left.
- On the applicants’ profile, you will be able to change their Status and also add Tags, to attribute them a specific skill or characteristic. You will also be able to rate them, which is then used along with your colleagues ratings for a final average.
- On the top right corner, you will find an Actions button, that allows you to perform several actions on the candidates’ profile, such as schedule Appointments, Copy or Move, Archive, among others.
