The most common candidate complaint in recruiting is silence. Yena answers it automatically: every confirmed applicant receives a private status link in their confirmation email and can check where they stand at any moment — no login, no account. ## What candidates see Application status page showing the job, applied date, and a progress rail with Applied active The page shows the role, the company, the applied date, the last update, and a four-step rail: **Applied → Reviewing → Interview → Decision**. The steps are deliberately friendly and generic: * Your internal stage names are never shown. Whatever your pipeline calls a stage, the candidate sees one of the four steps. * A rejected application reads as a neutral "the team has made a decision" — the word *rejected* never appears on the page. * Any stage the page cannot map shows as *Reviewing*, so the rail never leaks internal structure. ## What you control Nothing extra — the page reflects your pipeline automatically. Move an applicant on the board, and their status page shows the new step on their next visit. The link is private to the applicant and safe by design: it works only with the exact secret address from their email, an invalid or mangled link shows a generic error page, and the raw link is never stored on our side — only a cryptographic fingerprint of it. Almost nobody in the market offers applicants this transparency. For an agency, it is a visible quality signal that costs you nothing.
