How to Group and Organize Applicants by Category

Getting a bunch of applications and want to stay organised? Our Custom Group feature lets you sort applicants into different groups—based on your own categories (e.g., "Interviewed," "Pending Docs," "Follow-up Needed"). This can be helpful if you want to keep track of applicants by shift preference, hiring stage, or any criteria that works for you!

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Login to your Employer Dashboard.
2. Go to your active job ad and click "View Applicants". Under the Manage Jobs section, find the job post you’re reviewing and click the "View Applicants" button.
   
   
3. Assign an applicant to a group
   • Tick the checkbox beside the applicant you’d like to group.
   • Click "Assign to" on the toolbar.
   • You will see an option to create a new group or assign to an existing one.
   • Once selected, click "Assign" to tag the applicant under that group.
   
   

You can also create a group beforehand:

1. On the left side of the View Applicants page, you’ll see “Custom Groups”.
2. Click the “+” sign and type in your desired group name (e.g., "Potential Hires," "No Show").
   
   
3. Hit “Save Changes”—the new group will now appear under Custom Groups for that job ad.
   
   
   
   

❗Note:

• Custom groups are unique per job advertisement. A group created under one job post will not appear in other job posts.
• You can use groups to match your internal hiring stages (e.g., First Interview, Shortlisted for Final, Awaiting References, etc.)
• This feature does not send a notification to the jobseeker. It's purely for your internal tracking.
