Candidate Bulk Review

Screening multiple candidates at once made easier with bulk review

Reviewing multiple candidates in succession is now possible with Screenloop. This feature helps you assess qualifications more efficiently while saving valuable time.

Bulk Candidate Review is available in multiple areas of the platform:

  • Candidates List

  • Job Pipeline


Candidates List

On the Candidates page:

  1. Select one or more candidates.

  2. A “Review Candidates” button will appear.

  3. Click the button to begin reviewing.

Job Pipeline

Bulk Candidate Review is also accessible directly from the Job Pipeline tab.

A “Review Candidates” button is available there and includes all the same functionality as the Candidates page review flow.

What You’ll See

A dedicated review screen will open displaying:

  • Candidate profile summary

  • Resume/CV (if uploaded)

  • Answers to Custom Application Questions (if included in the Application Form)

  • Total number of candidates remaining to review


Available Actions During Review

In the upper-right corner of the review screen, you’ll find four key actions:

1. Add Note

Leave comments and tag other users to support collaboration.

Notes are instantly visible in the right-hand panel and update in real time, allowing the whole team to stay aligned without leaving the review flow. You can:

  • Add structured feedback on the candidate

  • Mention other hiring team members (tag them with an @)

  • See notes immediately reflected in the candidate view

2. Add Tag

Assign tags directly from bulk review to help categorise candidates during evaluation.

Tags are:

  • Created and applied within the same flow

  • Immediately visible in the candidate profile and bulk review view

  • Useful for grouping candidates

3. Email Candidate

Send emails directly from the review screen without switching context. You can:

  • Choose from predefined email templates

  • Write custom ad-hoc emails

  • Send communication instantly during review

4. Reject

Reject the candidate and select a rejection reason.

  • If you plan to use the same rejection reason for other candidates in the list, select:
    “Remember the reason for this list”

  • The reason will be pre-filled for subsequent candidates.

5. Move Stage

  • Advance the candidate to the next stage in the job workflow. OR

  • Move to a specific stage of the job workflow.

6. Skip

Take no action and move to the next candidate. Useful when you need more time to decide.

7. Back

Navigate back to previously reviewed candidates without needing to restart the bulk review flow.

Review Summary

After all candidates have been reviewed, a summary screen will display an overview of the actions taken.


Configuring Bulk Review in Workflows

By default, Bulk Candidate Review is enabled in the first stage of all workflows.

If this does not fit your process, you can modify it:

  1. Go to Settings > Customisation > Job Workflows.

  2. Select the workflow and stage you want to edit.

  3. Locate the option:
    “Does this stage include bulk candidate review process?”

  4. Enable or disable it according to your needs.

Bulk Candidate Review helps you to evaluate candidates more efficiently, reduce repetitive actions, maintain consistency in decision-making and improve collaboration across hiring teams
