Candidates
Bulk actions on candidates
Select multiple candidates and move them through stages, message them, or delete them in one go.
What it is
On the Responses page you can act on many candidates at once. Tick the checkboxes on the rows (or the header checkbox to select all in the current view), and a bulk-actions bar appears at the bottom showing "{N} candidates selected".
Actions
The bar shows Move / Move All, Reply / Reply all, and a ··· overflow menu (Export, Delete).
- Move / Move All - opens the stage list (your form's stages, plus + Add another stage to create one inline) and moves the selected candidates there. If the candidates have an email you can also send a message in the same step (e.g. a rejection when archiving). See Stages.
- Reply / Reply all - send a message to the selected candidates. You can use a saved reply template and a rich-text message. Candidates without an email are skipped. See Message candidates.
- ··· → Export - download just the selected candidates as a CSV (see Export candidates to CSV).
- ··· → Delete - remove the selected candidates. You'll confirm ("Delete {N} candidates" / "Are you sure? This will permanently remove these candidates and all their data."). See Delete a candidate.
Selecting
- Tick a row's checkbox to select it; tick the header checkbox to select everything in the current view (stage + filters).
- Clicking a candidate's name opens their detail view rather than selecting them.
- Switching stage tabs clears the selection.
Notes & limits
- Messaging and stage-with-message only reach candidates who have an email - those without one are skipped.
- Bulk actions apply to the candidates you've selected, within the current form.
- Anyone with access to the form can use bulk actions.
