New Candidate List: Viewing Candidate Details

Use the Candidate Slideout in the New Candidate List to see key details and take quick actions without opening the full candidate record. This helps you review profiles, check activity, and make faster decisions.

The new Candidate List is currently being rolled out and will be enabled for all customers in the near future.

Common Reasons to View Candidate Details

You’ll typically use the Candidate Slideout when you want to:

  • Review a candidate’s resume and background before contacting them.

  • Check activity counts for submissions, interviews, and placements.

  • See recruiter notes or client feedback tied to a candidate record.

  • Compare multiple candidates directly from the search results.

  • Quickly open the full record if you need to update or add data.

Viewing Candidate Details

The Candidate Slideout gives you a streamlined view of the most relevant candidate information.

To open it:

  1. Click the binoculars icon () next to a candidate's name.

  2. The slideout opens on the right side of the page.

Inside the slideout you can view:

  • Resume: See the candidate’s resume, if available.

  • Details: A condensed summary of candidate information with workflow icons.

    • Icons display counts for Tasks, Submissions, Client Submissions, Interviews, and Placements.

    • Click any icon to jump directly to that section in the candidate’s profile.

  • Notes: Review notes logged against the candidate record.

  • Experience: View work history, education, credentials, and references.

To open the full candidate record, simply click the candidate’s name in the list.

Taking Action on a Candidate

When reviewing a single candidate, use the Actions button in the Candidate Slideout to perform quick updates without leaving the list.

Available single-record actions include:

  • Email

  • Add Note

  • Add Submission

  • Add Task

  • Add Appointment

  • Manage Tearsheets

  • Add Client Submission

  • Add Placement

More options will be added in future releases to match the legacy Candidate List.

Use these quick actions to stay in context — no need to open the full candidate record.
