Track application timeline

Each application displays when it was submitted relative to the current time:

  • “applied 2 days ago”
  • “applied 1 week ago”
This helps you prioritize recent applications and maintain timely responses.

​
Moving applicants through stages

If you’re using pipelines with custom stages, you can move applicants through your hiring workflow:
  1. Access your pipeline board from the job or pipeline view
  2. Drag and drop applicant cards between stages
  3. Track progress as candidates move from Applied → Interview → Offer
Learn more about creating custom pipelines in the Setting up pipelines guide.

​
Application organization tips

Applications are automatically sorted by submission date, with the oldest applications appearing first. This ensures you review applications in the order they were received.
Use job-specific applicant views to focus on candidates for particular roles. This is especially helpful when managing multiple open positions.
Set up a regular schedule to review new applications (e.g., daily or every few days) to maintain candidate engagement and show responsiveness.
