The Leads Tab (New Layout Overview)

See every candidate, every conversation, every stage — all in one place.

Written by Claire Calvez

The Leads Tab is where recruiters spend most of their day. It brings every candidate across every campaign and folder into one workspace, so you can review profiles, send messages, and move applications through your pipeline without switching screens. With the latest update, the candidate profile now uses a streamlined three-panel layout that puts the chat front and center.

Switching Between the New UI and Classic View

The new Leads Tab layout rolls out alongside the existing Classic View. You can switch between the two at any time using the toggle in the top-right corner.

To try the new layout, click + Try New UI in the top-right of the Leads Tab. To return to the previous layout, click Back to Classic in the same spot. Your preference is remembered per browser session.

💡 Note: The new UI changes how the candidate profile is laid out (three-panel view). It does not change how candidate data, messages, or applications are stored — everything you see in Classic is also available in the new UI.

Campaigns, Folders & Filters

Campaigns typically map to job positions. You can select a single campaign, multiple campaigns, or all available campaigns to load candidate profiles. The Folder drop-down loads candidates from a specific folder or from all folders — either Custom or Default. The folder drop-down also shows how many profiles are in each folder.

Your search starts only after you click the Search button. You can add or remove filters freely before starting your search. Filters narrow your results — to use them, click the + Add filter button. For more on filters, see How to Use the Search Filter Bar.

The Candidate List, Search, Sort & Select

After choosing a campaign and folder, the Candidate List will appear. You can click on candidates to review their profiles and process their applications. You can search for candidates by application ID, first name, last name, email, or phone number. You can also sort the list using the Sort button. Available options are Best Match, Last Interaction, Date Added, Job Scoring, and Candidate Name.

You can also sort by Job Matching Score by clicking the Sort button. Choose Job Scoring Asc for ascending or Job Scoring Desc for descending. Candidates without a score appear at the bottom of the sorted list. You can combine this with other filters or sort options without losing your Job Matching Score preference.

Clicking a candidate avatar — or the select-all checkbox — opens the Bulk Actions menu. From there you can move candidates, send messages, and run other actions across multiple profiles at once.

💡 To cancel a Bulk Action, reach out to the Product Support team via Intercom.

The Candidate Profile

In the new UI, the candidate profile uses a three-panel layout designed to keep the most important information close at hand:

Middle Panel

Shows the candidate’s application details, contact information, available functions, and a summary of the application history.

  • Candidate Overview

    Key candidate details including name, contact information, and the campaign where the application is currently active.

  • Candidate Journey (Overview)
    A summary of the application’s historical movements across folders, including time spent in each stage. Select View all to open the full Journey tab for detailed history.

  • Application Details
    Candidate ID, Application ID, location, date added, completion date, last assigned date, last interaction, source, Facebook Page, and WhatsApp Line. These details can be edited using the pencil icon at the top-right of the section.

  • Move Candidate
    Move the candidate to another stage in the pipeline.

  • Assign Recruiter
    Assign or reassign the candidate to a recruiter.

  • Add Tag
    Add tags to the candidate profile for easier organization and filtering.

  • Share Application
    Share the application with a teammate or third-party reviewer.

Vertical tab navigation

A slim icon strip located between the middle and right panels that lets users switch between different sections of the candidate profile. Each icon opens a dedicated view in the right panel. Hover any icon to see its tooltip; the active tab shows a green bar on the left.

Right Panel

This panel displays detailed information based on the selected tab, allowing users to switch between different views of the candidate profile. By default, the Chat tab is shown when opening a candidate profile.

Tab

What it shows

💬 Chat

The full message history with the candidate across SMS, Facebook, Email, and WhatsApp. This is the default tab when you open any candidate profile.

📄 Documents

Files uploaded by the candidate (IDs, resumes, certifications). Third-party assessment files no longer appear here — see Assessments below.

💭 Comments

Internal comments and reviews left by your team. Candidates do not see these.

Screening Questions

The candidate's answers to the campaign's pre-screening questions.

🧪 Assessments

A consolidated view of the candidate’s assessment results, including TalkScore and third-party assessment reports. Access report files, review results, and filter by vendor when multiple assessments are available.

🏷️ Attributes

Candidate Attributes captured during pre-screening or added by recruiters (e.g., Language, Country, Years of Experience).

🗺️ Journey

A focused view of the candidate's full stage and folder history with timestamps. Mirrors the Candidate Journey timeline at the top of the middle panel.

📋 Other Applications

Other campaigns the same candidate has applied to in your account.

Chat View

The Chat View opens by default in the right panel and shows the full interaction history with the candidate. Even if a candidate's application is deleted, messages remain in the chat history.

Messages can be inbound or outbound. White messages are responses sent by the candidate — text, audio, or video. Below each message you can see the channel it came from (f indicates Facebook) and the time it was sent. Grey messages come from the recruiter side — either a chatbot response (robot icon) or a recruiter (human avatar or saved photo).

To send messages faster, use Tokens for automatic personalisation, or attach files directly from the chatbox. Click the templates icon to open Quick Replies — these are automatically filtered to the active channel (SMS, Facebook, Email, or WhatsApp).

Finally, select the channel for your message: SMS, Facebook, Email, or WhatsApp.

💡 Note: You can't send the same exact message to a candidate twice in a row. If you try, you'll see a Duplicate Message reminder. To resend, edit the message slightly before sending it again.

How to Delete a Candidate Profile

Only users with Owner access can delete a candidate profile. Deleted candidates cannot be recovered, so take this action only when necessary.

  1. Find the candidate in the Leads Tab using their Application ID in the search bar.

  2. In the candidate's preview window, click the trash can icon in the top-right corner.

  3. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes on the pop-up message.

General Export

The General Export function lets you export your candidate database into a file format Excel can read.
