Overview
The candidate portal helps candidates understand where they are in the interview process. You can choose which interview stages to share publicly by marking stages as visible (or keeping them hidden).
Show interview plan on your job posting
You can choose to show selected stages of your interview plan with applicants. All interview stages are hidden by default, and you can make each step either visible or hidden.
