Candidate experience: Hilancer's candidate dashboard
Your candidate sees the status of every application from their own dashboard, without messaging you to ask how things are going.
What every candidate sees and receives
A simple dashboard and automatic emails, with no extra work on your end.
A dashboard with every application
The candidate logs in and sees the status of every application they made, even across different searches of yours.
- Visible stages
- One application per process
- Less uncertainty
Automatic emails on stage changes
You choose which stages are visible to the candidate; when their process moves forward, they get an email with your template.
- Automatic emails per stage
- Visibility configurable per process
- Rejections are communicated too
Job alerts by email
Candidates can opt in to be notified when you publish a new opening that matches their CV.
- Alerts based on their CV
- Opt-in subscription
- More reach for your openings
Code-based access, no password
The candidate logs in with a code sent to their email (or WhatsApp, if your organization enabled it). Your internal notes are never shown.
- No password to remember
- One-time login code
- Internal notes always private
What the candidate experiences
3 simple steps for a clear, professional journey
Applies through a simple form
Opens the link and completes the application in a few steps from any device.
Logs into their dashboard with a code
Requests a code by email (or WhatsApp, if enabled) and sees the status of every application they made.
Gets notified and answers a survey at the end
An automatic email on every stage change and, when the process closes, a short NPS survey about how it went.
Candidate experience is your reputation
The number one cause of a recruiter's bad reputation is not rejecting candidates: it's leaving them without an answer. Every person left in silence tells others, and an independent recruiter's market is small. Hilancer is built around a simple idea: no candidate should ever wonder where their process stands.
A dashboard where candidates see their real status
Each candidate gets their own dashboard showing the status of their applications: current stage for each one, scheduled interviews and the final outcome. No more “any news?” messages. They can also opt in to alerts about your new openings that match their CV.
You control what's visible: visibility is configured per stage, and your internal notes are never exposed.
Automatic feedback, zero extra work
When you move a candidate between stages, Hilancer notifies them by email with a carefully written message (and rejections are always communicated, which is precisely what almost nobody does). Interviews generate an invitation with a calendar event attached, reminders and, on the Teams plan, WhatsApp notices.
When the process closes, the candidate receives an NPS survey: you'll know how your brand landed after every search, even with those who didn't get the job.
Your brand at every touchpoint
The dashboard, the job portal and the emails carry your brand or your firm's, not your client's and not ours. The professional experience the candidate receives is attributed to you, which is how reputation gets built in this trade.
How candidates log in: a code, not a password
Candidates don't create an account with a password: they request a one-time code sent to their email to log into the dashboard. If your organization enabled WhatsApp access, they can request it there too. Less friction for the candidate and one less password for you to manage.
Frequently asked questions
Do candidates need to create an account with a password?
No: they log in with a one-time code sent by email (or WhatsApp, if your organization enabled it). Less friction, and more candidates who complete their application.
What exactly does the candidate see?
The status of their applications by stage, according to the visibility you configure per process, and their scheduled interviews. They never see your internal notes or other candidates' information.
Can I choose which stages send notifications?
Yes: each stage's visibility is configured per process. Rejections are always notified, so nobody is left in limbo.
Does this take control of the relationship away from me?
The opposite: it automates the operational side (notices, reminders, statuses) so your time goes to the conversations that matter. Everything that goes out carries your name.
Can candidates find out about my other openings?
Yes, if they subscribe to job alerts: they get an email when you publish a new search that matches their CV. It's opt-in, never automatic.
What happens once the process ends?
Once an application reaches a final stage (hired or rejected), the candidate gets a short NPS survey about how they experienced the process. It's the only way to measure your reputation with those who didn't move forward.
