Overview
Scout now shows you the best next step for every candidate, right from your Job Dashboard. Hover over any candidate card to see a Scout Suggestion, a quick recommendation for what to do next, along with new badges that flag top talent and application status at a glance.
Scout Suggestions
Similar to Next Best Actions on your Main Dashboard, Scout Suggestions appear when you hover over a candidate card on the Job Dashboard. They tell you exactly what to do next for each candidate, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Common Questions
Will a Scout Suggestion disappear if I don't act on it?
No. It stays on the candidate card until you take the action that resolves it. It won't expire or disappear on its own.
What happens to Scout Suggestions if I edit my pipeline columns?
If you rename or remove your Qualified column, the Move to Qualified suggestion will no longer appear for candidates in that stage.
Can a candidate get more than one badge at a time?
Yes. A candidate card can show multiple badges at once, for example Scout Suggested and Apply Started together.
Does a badge or suggestion move a candidate's fit score?
No. Badges and suggestions reflect a candidate's existing fit score and hiring stage, they don't change how that score is calculated.
