How do you prioritize candidates by score to highlight the best ones on the recruiting dashboard?

In Jestor, each candidate can receive a hiring priority level — ranging from low to high, or on a custom numeric scale — and candidates with a higher priority automatically show up highlighted on the recruiting dashboard.

How prioritization works

The recruiting system lets you classify each candidate with a priority field, which can be configured as high and low or even on a 0-to-10 scale, based on the company's preference. The higher the priority assigned, the more qualified the candidate is considered for that role. Candidates with high hiring priority show up highlighted on the dashboard, giving immediate visibility to the strongest profiles.

Priority level What it indicates
High Most qualified candidate, highlighted on the dashboard
Low Candidate with lower hiring priority

How to classify candidates by priority

  1. Open the candidate's card within the recruiting funnel.
  2. Set the hiring priority level, whether on a simple or numeric scale.
  3. Check the recruiting dashboard to view candidates with the highest priority.
  4. Combine with other filters, like role or stage, to narrow down the best profiles.
