Inbound applications used to mean an inbox full of PDFs and a guilty backlog. In Yena, every confirmed application lands in one place — the job’s Inbound tab — already parsed, already assessed, waiting for exactly one decision: in or out.

​
The queue

Inbound tab For Review list showing an applicant with a fit label, an accept-into-stage picker, and a reject control

A For Review row: applicant, applied date, a one-line profile summary, and a fit read

Open a job → Inbound. The tab appears as soon as the job has applications, split into For Review, Accepted, and Rejected. Each For Review row shows:
  • The applicant and when they applied.
  • A one-line summary drawn from their parsed CV.
  • A fit read — one of four plain labels: Strong fit, Credible fit — clarify, Bridgeable, or Better aligned elsewhere. It is computed deterministically from the same matching rules as your board, so it never changes between reloads, and there are no percentages to argue about. A profile or role without enough readable content says Not yet readable instead of guessing.
  • A quiet waiting N days marker once a row has sat unanswered for five days.
  • A Knockout marker if a screening question was answered with the disqualifying answer — a flag for your judgement, never an auto-reject. Expand the row to read all screening answers.

​
Accept

Choose a stage in Accept into… and the applicant moves onto your pipeline board, activity logged. The default is your applicants stage, so accepting is one click.

​
Reject — with the email included

Select the reject control and Yena does the whole thing atomically: the application closes, the rejection is recorded, and the candidate receives a respectful, workspace-branded rejection email.
One click, one email — guaranteed. If you press reject twice, the candidate still gets exactly one email. If the send fails, the same button retries it. The contact record stays in your database as a silver-medalist for future roles unless you remove it.

Why applicants arrive “ready”

By the time someone reaches this queue, they have confirmed their application by email (double-opt-in) and their CV has been parsed into a full candidate profile — experience, education, skills, and searchability included. See How applying works.
