Now you can track the detailed status of each of your applications in Simplicant! With this feature, you can find out which of your applicants are in which stage of the hiring process, e.g. New, Screened, Interviewed, Hired and so on. In addition to this, you can even define your own hiring work-flow, and change the work-flow stages that are provided by default. For example, a software firm may want to use multiple interview stages, “Technical Interview” and “HR Interview” followed by “Final Interview”.

On the applications page, you can view the status of each application as shown in the screenshot on the right. You can also sort and filter the applications based on their current status in the system. The system also tracks when an applicant status was changed, the to/from status, and the name of the user who changed it. This “History” option is available from the Application Summary page.

And if that isn’t enough, each stage has its own color to make the system more intuitive and for you to be able to quickly identify candidates’ status. These colors are also customizable, and you have a whole set of colors to choose from!

To change your hiring work-flow and select colors for each, go to the “Stages” tab within the Settings page. Here you can add new stages to your work-flow, edit the current ones, assign colors to each of them, and remove the ones that you do not need.

The feature is up and running, and is available on both new and existing accounts (all packages)! A note for existing customers: The new status has replaced the old “Processed / Unprocessed” status field.
