This article gives you an overview of the Recruiting Home and the widgets available on this page. Every user will see different information depending on their access rights to the Recruiting section.

Candidate updates widget

The candidate updates widget gives an overview of all new comments, messages and evaluations about your candidates. You can only see information on jobs and applications to which you are part of the hiring team or have individual access to.

The candidate updates widget has four different tabs:

All	Combination of all the information from the evaluations, comments and messages tabs.
Evaluations	Name and avatar of the employee who submitted the evaluation Name and job of the candidate Time when the evaluation was made Key takeaways Recommendation type (positive, negative or neutral) Counter of the submitted and pending evaluations
Comments	Name and avatar of the employee who made the comment Name and job of the candidate Time when the comment was made Content of the comment itself

By default, you will see all new items. All the new comments, messages and evaluations that you have not read or replied to are marked with a blue dot. Click on the Show done button to see all items from the past 30 days.

When clicking on an item, the applications' drawer opens on the right side of your screen. It gives you the possibility to answer the comments, messages or read evaluations right from the Recruiting Home page.

Recruiting inbox widget

The Recruiting inbox widget provides access to all your current tasks and notifications. It shows your active to-dos, such as evaluation requests and comment requests.

You are also notified when a job offer is signed by all signers.

Upcoming interviews widget

This widget gives an overview of upcoming interviews for the next 7 days. You can see the status and the correct order of the interview.

There are three filters:

For me: interviews for which you are an interviewer, an organizer, or both.
For my jobs: interviews for jobs and candidates for which you are a hiring team member.
For all: overview of all the interviews in the company.

If the interview is via any video conferencing solution, click on it to start the call.

For your jobs widget

This widget gives you a glance at your overdue applications. If you click the widget, you will be shown the Application List. The filters are automatically set to show you overdue applications.

The applications for which an action is required will have a color-coded dot in the Updates column. Once you have completed the action (for example, once you reply to the candidate's message), the application will no longer appear in the overview.

Recruiting Home (NEW)

The new Recruiting homepage contains several widgets, where you can access key recruiting information in one place.

You can:

Complete recruiting tasks, such as filling in evaluations and replying to comments. You can do this directly from the widget, therefore saving time.
View scheduled interviews in a calendar format, allowing you to better plan your time. You can also join interviews directly from the widget.
