Before You Start
Required permission: manageCandidates
How to Add Candidates
- Open the talent pool detail page
- Click Add Candidates in the quick actions sidebar
- Search and filter to find candidates
- Select candidates using the checkboxes
- Click Add Candidates in the action bar
- Optionally add notes in the confirmation dialog
- Click Add candidates to confirm
Search and Filter
The add candidates page provides the same search capabilities as the main candidate search:
- Text search — search by name or email
- AI search — describe what you need in natural language to generate filters
- Manual filters — add structured filters from the filter chips bar
Active filters can include location, skills, experience, salary, and other candidate attributes.
Filter Match Score
When scoring filters are active, a percentage badge appears on each candidate row. This helps you identify the best-matching candidates for the pool's purpose.
Candidate Table
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Select | Checkbox; shows "Already in pool" if the candidate is already a member |
| Name | Full name (link opens profile in new tab) and email |
| Current Position | Current title and company |
| Location | City, State, Country |
| Status | Candidate status badge (Active, Archived, Do Not Contact) |
| Applications | Total number of applications |
| Added | Date the candidate was added to your system |
Candidates already in the pool are shown but cannot be selected — their row shows "Already in pool" in the selection column.
Selection Actions
The action bar at the top shows how many candidates are selected and provides:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Select all on page | Selects all selectable candidates on the current page |
| Deselect all | Clears all selections |
| Add Candidates | Submits the selected candidates (disabled when none selected) |
| Cancel | Returns to the pool detail page without making changes |
Notes
When you click Add Candidates, a dialog prompts for optional notes (max 1000 characters). These notes are saved with the pool membership and can describe why you added these candidates.
