Bulk-add a set of candidates to an open job in one go. Useful when you've just sourced a longlist, want to move strong runners-up from one role onto another, or are preparing a shortlist for a client.
Where this happens
Bulk job assignment lives on the Advanced Search page. You filter to the candidates you want, select them, and add them to the target job in a single action.
Add multiple candidates to a job
Go to Advanced Search.
Apply filters in the right-hand panel — skills, location, source, tags, stage history, anything that narrows down to the candidates you want.
Select candidates by ticking individual rows, or use the top checkbox to select every result.
Click Add Job.
Pick the target job from the dropdown. Only open jobs show up here.
Click Save.
Example
A recruiter sourced 80 senior backend engineers in Berlin last week and tagged them backend-berlin-sourcing. A new role opens for a Staff Engineer in Berlin. She heads to Advanced Search, filters by the tag, ticks all 80 candidates, clicks Add Job, picks the new Staff Engineer role, and saves. All 80 candidates are now on the job's pipeline at the default starting stage, ready to work through.
Things to know
Candidates can only be added to open jobs. Closed and on-hold jobs don't appear in the dropdown.
Each added candidate lands at the default first stage of the job's pipeline. From there, they can be moved or disqualified individually or in bulk.
If a candidate is already on the job, they won't be duplicated — they stay at their current stage.
Bulk adds respect your filter exactly. If 200 candidates match the filter but you've ticked only 50, just those 50 are added.
To add a single candidate to a job, do it directly from the candidate profile's Jobs tab instead.
