Presenting candidates: criteria, career rows and client decisions

A client meeting about a longlist lives or dies on one question: can the client see, at a glance, who fits and why. The portal answers it three ways — a career block on every candidate row, a criteria table in your own words, and decision options that match how reviews actually go.

​

Control what the client sees — per job

Every job’s Portal tab has a Presentation & Criteria panel. Each block of the candidate page is a switch: career history, documents, the criteria table, match score, skills chart, your notes, contact details. What you switch off is enforced server-side — it never reaches the client’s browser.

​

The career block

Each candidate row in the client’s list carries the last positions — period, company (with its logo where one is known), and role — the way a classic presentation report reads. The client compares careers side by side without opening a single profile. It follows the Career history switch, so one click hides it for engagements where less is more.

​

Criteria in your words

Add up to six criteria per job — “Fluent German”, “Has led an audit team”, whatever this search turns on. For every candidate you set yes / no / open per criterion; the client sees the same table, candidate by candidate, and each verdict can carry a short reason written for their eyes. An honest question mark builds more trust than a silent guess — “open” is a first-class answer.

​

Suggest with AI — with proof

Suggest with AI reads each candidate’s profile — work history, summary, your recruiter notes — and pre-fills the table like a junior recruiter would:

• Where the profile states it outright, the suggestion quotes the exact sentence.
• Where an experienced recruiter would conclude it — someone based in Düsseldorf is not close to Hamburg — it says so and shows its reasoning.
• Where there is no basis, it stays quiet and tells you why.

Every suggestion is a draft until you confirm it. Nothing the AI writes reaches your client without your click, and hovering any suggested cell shows its evidence.

​

Decisions beyond yes and no

Clients don’t just approve and decline — they park people. Besides Approve and Decline, the portal offers On hold and Waiting. Parked candidates stay in the client’s “To Review” list with a visible badge, every decision can be undone, and all of it lands back in your pipeline view the moment it happens.
