Overview

You can organize applicants in Wizehire using four main tools: hiring stages, drag-and-drop, filters, and tags.

These tools help you quickly sort candidates, stay organized, and focus on the right applicants at each stage of your hiring process.


3 ways to organize applicants

Use hiring stages

Hiring stages help you track where each candidate is in your process.

  • click and drag candidates from Applied → Interview → Hired

  • customize stages to match your workflow

  • keep your pipeline structured and easy to manage

This is the fastest way to update a candidate’s status and stay organized.


Filter applicants

Use filters on the left side of your dashboard to narrow down candidates by:

  • experience

  • education

  • licenses

  • Personality Fit (DISC+)

  • and more

💡 Helpful note: Filters help you quickly surface the most relevant candidates without manually reviewing every application.


Use tags to group candidates

Wizehire automatically tags candidates based on screening question responses.

You can also create your own tags to stay organized.

To create and apply a tag:

  • select one or more candidates

  • click Tag at the top of the screen

  • choose an existing tag or click Create tag

  • name your tag and click Create

Once applied, you can:

  • filter candidates by tag from the left sidebar

  • deselect the tag to return to your full candidate list


When to use each tool

  • Hiring stages: track progress through your hiring process

  • Drag and drop: quickly update candidate status

  • Filters: narrow down large applicant pools

  • Tags: group candidates by custom criteria

Using these together helps you stay organized and make faster decisions.
