Aside from reaching out to candidates on OfferZen, you can also publish your position and get direct applications from candidates on the marketplace.

Please note: This feature is in beta. If you experience any applications, please reach out to your account manager.

This feature is only available to companies on an OfferZen Unlimited subscription.

How to view applications

To see applications to your published positions, click on Candidates in the main navigation bar.

Click on the Applications tab in the sub-navigation on the top left corner of the page.

This will take you to the list of applications. You can filter these applications by position.

Keep in mind:

  • Applications will remain open even once candidates are no longer live on OfferZen. Candidates will still be informed and able to respond when you accept their application, unless they have accepted another job offer.

  • Candidates can apply to multiple positions at the same company. The same candidate may appear under your applications for different positions.

Evaluating applications

By clicking on the application, you’ll be able to see the candidate’s full profile and respond to their application. You’ll also be able to see how well the candidate matches the position.

If a candidate has applied for multiple positions at your company, you can respond to each application separately.

Accepting an application

Accept an application by clicking the “Accept application” button. The candidate will be notified via email and on OfferZen that you’ve accepted their application.

Tips:

  • If a candidate applied for multiple positions at your company, double-check that you accept them for the position you intended.

  • Include a message when you accept an application so that the candidate knows what to expect next in the interview process.

Once a candidate’s application is accepted you will find a new, open conversation with them on your Messages page.

Rejecting an application

Reject an application by clicking the “Reject application” button.

The candidate will be notified via email and on OfferZen that their application was unsuccessful.

Tip:

If a candidate applied for multiple positions at your company, double-check that you reject them for the position you intended.

Once a candidate’s application is rejected you will find a new message thread with them under “Archived” on your Messages page.
