Track viewed candidate profiles

• Default off

• Self service

This feature provides the ability to automatically mark a candidate profile as ‘Viewed’ within the context of a specific position. It is designed to address the challenges faced by recruiters managing large applicant volumes, such as those associated with early career requisitions. This feature streamlines the applicant review workflow and allows users to filter the candidate pipeline based on the Profile Viewed Status (Viewed/Not Viewed), providing important tracking visibility.

Value

• Recruiters often manage thousands of applications for early career requisitions and lack a robust way to track which candidate profiles have already been reviewed versus which are new. Currently, users are missing a method to track viewed profiles unless a manual action is performed.

• This feature automatically tracks and tags candidate profiles as ‘viewed’ when accessed in context of a position. This solution allows users to apply a new pipeline filter - ‘Profile Viewed Status’ to easily distinguish between viewed and not-viewed profiles.

Note: The view tracking only works for recruiters or hiring managers who are part of the hiring team of the position.

Impact on existing workflows

• When a user opens a candidate profile associated with a position, the profile is automatically marked as viewed. The system adds an ‘Application viewed’ tag (which can be viewed under the Notes and Tags section).

• Users gain a new ability to filter the application pipeline using the Profile Viewed Status (Viewed, Not Viewed, Both) filter, which is scoped to the position context.
