Submissions Tab

Learn how to use the Submissions tab to track and manage candidates as they move through your hiring workflow. For an overview of the four hiring stages, see Understanding the Bullhorn Hiring Workflow.

Viewing Submissions

Open the Submissions tab from a job record by clicking either the workflow icon or the Submissions tab.

The number on the workflow icon shows the total number of submissions to the job, regardless of status.

Select a stage to see the candidates currently in it, or click All to view the full submission history for the job. From here, you can move candidates between stages, add them to a tearsheet, or create tasks for them.

Moving Candidates through the Hiring Process

The Submissions tab is arranged like a funnel, from web responses down to placement. Select a stage to see the candidates in it, then click a candidate's status to edit it inline and move them to a new stage.

When you change a candidate's status, the Change Status screen opens. Use the Internal Email Notification field to notify one internal user of the change, or the Distribution List field to notify several. Distribution Lists only email internal users — contacts and candidates on the list won't receive a notification.

Use Select an Action to send an email, create tasks, edit submission details, and more.

Customizing Your Submission Workflow

You can add extra submission statuses to any stage — for example, multiple "rejected" statuses to track why a submission didn't move forward. For general steps, see Customizing Your Hiring Workflow.

The tab's four stages map to these system settings:

• Submissions: JobResponseStatusList

• Interviewing: interviewScheduledJobResponseStatus

• Rejected: rejectedJobResponseStatus

• Confirmed: confirmedJobResponseStatus

You'll need admin access to change these settings, and changes may not appear until you log out and back in.
