Review applicants and hire them
See everyone who applied, move them through stages, and hire someone in one step so they land on your employee list ready to clock in.
Everyone who applies from your careers page appears under Hiring, Applicants, in one list across every job. Move people through stages as you go, and press Hire to add someone to your employees with their resume and application saved to their file.
See who applied
- Click Hiring in the sidebar, then the Applicants tab.
- Use the stage chips across the top to filter: All, New, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired, Rejected. Each shows how many people are in it.
- To see one job only, use Filter by job. Choose Every job to go back.
- Click a person's name to open their details: current role, experience, when they can start, whether they're authorized to work, when they applied, their answers to your questions, their note and their resume.
Email addresses and phone numbers are links, so you can tap to email or call.
Move someone to the next stage
- Find the person in the list.
- Use the stage drop-down on the right of their row and choose the new stage.
The stage chips are links, so you can bookmark, say, everyone at Interview.
Hire someone
- Click Hire on their row.
- Check First name and Last name.
- Choose Where they will work.
- Set their First day.
- Optional: give them a Time clock PIN.
- Click Hire and add to employees.
They're now on your employee list and ready for the time clock. Two things are saved to the Documents tab on their employee page:
- A copy of their resume.
- Their job application as a PDF, with every answer they gave.
The row then shows Hired. Open employee, which takes you to their page.
Good to know
- If the applicant's email matches someone already on your employee list, Kloqk links them to that person instead of adding them twice. Pressing Hire twice won't create two people either.
- If a document can't be saved, the hire still goes through, and the dialog tells you what to add by hand from their page.
- If you didn't set a PIN, open their page and choose Let them choose their PIN. See Set up PINs.
- A resume that carries macros or an auto-open action is held back for safety and isn't passed on. Ask the person to send a PDF instead.
- The Hire button isn't offered for someone at Rejected.
- The resume and application are copied into the employee's file, so deleting the job later doesn't empty it.
Questions people ask
Do I get an email when someone applies?
Applications appear in Hiring, Applicants as soon as they are sent, and the Jobs tab shows how many are new for each job. Check there rather than your inbox.
What happens to the resume when I hire someone?
A copy is saved to the Documents tab on their employee page, along with a PDF of their application. Deleting the job or applicant later does not remove them.
What if the person is already one of my employees?
If their email matches an employee, Kloqk links the application to that person and does not add anyone twice.
Can I see applicants for just one job?
Yes. Use Filter by job on the Applicants tab.
