Why have we developed this feature?

Following client feedback sessions, we wanted to improve the existing Review List and Applicant Action workflows to provide more functionality and flexibility so that users have better control of their job pipelines and improve existing functionalities:

  • addition of Static Cards at the top of the forms

  • additional tabs for the Notebook, Notes

  • the ability to see the applicant action statuses in the review list and

  • ability to set a reason for rejection at applicant action level

  • all updates focus on greater efficiency for the end user.
