[Applicant Management](https://support.fastjobs.sg/fastjobs-employer?hsLang=en#applicant-management) # How to Group and Organize Applicants by Category Receiving a high volume of applications and want to stay beautifully organized? Our **Custom Group** feature is here to save the day! It lets you sort applicants into your own personalized categories (like "Interviewed," "Pending Docs," or "Follow-up Needed"). It’s the perfect way to track candidates by hiring stage, shift preference, or whatever criteria works best for your team. #### Step-by-step guide 1. Login to your [Employer Dashboard](https://employer.fastjobs.sg/site/login/). 2. Find the active job post you want to manage under the **\[Manage Jobs\]** section, and click the **\[View Applicants\]** button. ![](https://support.fastjobs.sg/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1750151548962.png?width=652&height=280&name=google-1750151548962.png) #### Option A: Create a group and assign applicants on the fly - Tick the checkbox next to the applicant (or applicants) you want to organize. - Click **\[Assign to\]** on the toolbar that pops up. - Choose an existing group, or type in a brand-new name to create one on the spot. - Hit **\[Assign\]** to instantly tag them! ![](https://support.fastjobs.sg/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1750151569382.png?width=654&height=372&name=google-1750151569382.png) #### Option B: Create your groups beforehand - On the left-hand menu of your *View Applicants* page, look for the **Custom Groups** section. - Click the **\[+\]** sign and type in your desired group name (e.g., *"Shortlisted," "No Show"*). ![](https://support.fastjobs.sg/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1750151799805.png?width=655&height=375&name=google-1750151799805.png) - Hit **\[Save Changes\]**—your new category is ready to use for that job ad! ![](https://support.fastjobs.sg/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/google-1750151813587.png?width=385&height=142&name=google-1750151813587.png) #### 💡A few helpful things to note: - **Unique per job ad:** Custom groups are tied specifically to the job advertisement you created them in. A group created under one job post won’t clutter up your other job posts. - **Purely internal:** This feature is strictly for your internal tracking. Job seekers will **never** receive a notification or see what group you’ve put them in, so feel free to categorize as needed! - **Match your workflow:** Use these groups to mirror your company's actual hiring stages (e.g., *First Interview, Final Round, Awaiting References*). #### What's next?
