How to View and Update a Candidate's Status

Accurate candidate status tracking ensures your hiring team stays coordinated, provides transparency to stakeholders, and maintains a professional process that candidates and managers can easily understand and follow.

To access: 
  1. Log in to BerniePortal as the employer or a Recruiting feature administrator
  2. Select “Recruiting” in the top navigation menu
  3. Locate candidates using either method:
    1. Job-Specific View: Select the relevant job from "Job List" to see all applicants for that position
    2. All Candidates View: Access the "Candidates" menu to see applicants across all jobs 


To adjust a candidate’s hiring stage: 
  1. Select the candidate’s name to open their Candidate profile and view their application(s)

  3. Simple status updates- 
    1. Employer-customized Hiring Stages will be listed at the top of the application, displayed as a visual progression timeline
    2. Click numbered stage markers to advance candidates through the hiring pipeline
    3. Visual indicators immediately show the current position and completed stages


Note: Moving a candidate to the final stage in the hiring process does not hire a candidate- You must select “Hire” and then “Onboard” to move the candidate to the Employee List with the Employer Portal
