When you're running five or ten jobs at once, checking each pipeline individually to find who needs attention takes too long. The Active Candidates page pulls every candidate from your non-archived jobs into a single view, sortable by last activity, filterable by job owner, status, or client.

Filtering to your candidates and scanning for follow-ups

1. Open the Home page and click the Active Candidates tab
2. Click the filter icon to open the Filters popover
3. Set Job Owners to your name so only candidates from your jobs appear
4. Sort by Last Activity (click the column header) so the oldest activity surfaces at the bottom
5. Scan the list for candidates with stale dates — anyone without activity in several days probably needs a follow-up or status update
6. Click a candidate's name to open their profile, log a note, or move them to the next stage

You can also reach Active Candidates at /active-candidates directly, or through the command menu (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K, then type "active candidates").

Switching between List and Board

The view toggle at the top of the page has two modes.

List

A sortable table with four columns:

• Candidate — name with avatar and LinkedIn link when available
• Job — job title with the client company
• Status — the candidate's current pipeline stage, shown as a colored badge
• Last Activity — date of the most recent note, email, or pipeline change. Hover for details. Shows "No activity" if nothing has been logged

Click any column header to sort. The default sort is Last Activity descending (most recent first). Click the same header again to reverse the order.

Board

Candidates grouped into columns by pipeline stage. Each column shows the stage name, a color dot, and a count. A No Status column appears for candidates without an assigned stage. Cards show the candidate's name, job title, and last activity date.

This view is useful for spotting where candidates cluster — if one stage has significantly more cards than the others, that's usually where something is bottlenecked.

Your view selection persists between sessions. Switch once and it stays that way until you change it.
