Review candidates
Once the recommended candidates are assessed, the thread tells you how many are ready. Press Start review and the review card opens on the first one. You can also open the card from any row in the List view.
Read the card
The left side is the person: photo or initials, name, current title and employer, city and distance, total experience, current and average tenure, signals such as Promoted or Recently started, and the job history with the current job marked Now. Other roles in the workspace that include the candidate are linked here.
The right side is the assessment:
- The band: Strong, Good or Possible. Strong is a score of 75 and up, Good 55 to 74, Possible below 55. Hover over the band to see the score, for example "Score 82 · based on 5 of 7 requirements".
- A summary in two sentences.
- A row per requirement: Met or Missing, whether it's a Must-have or a Nice-to-have, and one sentence of evidence that cites the jobs it rests on. Hover over a citation and the job lights up in the history; click it and the card scrolls there.
- To clarify: what search data can't answer, with the reason.
- Strengths and Concerns, up to three of each.
- Notes from you and your colleagues. See Notes, mentions and activity.
To clarify
Skills, languages and education aren't in search data, so Navigent doesn't guess at them. They're listed under To clarify, with the reason Checked on the LinkedIn profile or Not in search data. That isn't a mark against the candidate. It's what you check before you commit, or a good question for the first conversation.
Press L or Open LinkedIn to look at the profile yourself. The Chrome extension lets you assess the profile you have open. Navigent assesses the requirements again using its information, and the card shows Full profile. A requirement becomes Met or Missing only when that information supports the verdict.
Say yes or no
- Read the assessment.
- Say yes or no. Yes puts the candidate on the shortlist; no rejects them.
- The next undecided candidate comes up on its own.
The keys:
- Yes: → or A
- No: ← or R
- Skip: ↓
- Previous: ↑
- Undo: U
- Open LinkedIn in a new tab: L
- Show every key: ?
- Close: Esc
Keys are ignored while you're typing in a field or holding a modifier key. On a phone, swipe right for yes and left for no, or use the buttons at the bottom. You can decide even while the assessment is still being written.
Give a reason
When you open the card from the List view, you can tick why a candidate doesn't fit before you say no, under Why not? (optional). Keys 1 to 4 never change: wrong seniority, wrong function, wrong industry, wrong location. Keys 5 to 8 are this candidate's own missing requirements and concerns, and 9 is other. A reason is never required, and saying yes clears the ticks.
Undo, or change your mind
U reverses your last decision in this review and takes you back to that candidate. Press it again to go further back. Later, you can change any decision from the card or from the row's menu in the List view.
At the end of the queue
The card tells you how many you've reviewed and how many are on the shortlist, with Review 50 more, Open shortlist and Close. If you skipped anyone, you can go through them now.
Good to know
- The AI never sees a name, a photo or contact details, and never uses gender, age, ethnicity, health, religion or union membership. You make every decision, and every decision is saved.
- If a colleague decides the candidate you have open, you see it straight away, and the buttons turn into Next.
- If an assessment fails, press Retry. Everything else on the card keeps working.
- If a requirement changes, its rows read Updating until they're reassessed.
- The candidate's e-mail address shows on the card once a campaign has found it. Navigent looks up an address only when the candidate reaches an e-mail step in an active campaign.
