Need to make changes to a group of applicants all at once? You’re in the right place! Whether you're updating statuses, adding tags, jotting down notes, or moving folks to another job, the Applicant Grid is your command center for batch changes.
Heads-up: You can only bulk message or update up to 500 applicants at a time. If you're working with a larger group, break it into smaller batches.
Also, if you're trying to move applicants to a different job, make sure you're assigned as a hiring manager for that target job. If not, that option will be MIA.
Here’s how to update applicants in bulk:
Select Applicants
Use filters to find your target applicants.
Check the boxes next to their names to select them.
Pro tip: You can select up to 500 applicants per batch.
Choose Your Action
Click the “Select Action” dropdown menu.
Choose “Update Applicants.”
Make Your Updates
In the Update Applicants window, choose what you want to do:
Change applicant status
Add or remove tags
Add internal notes
Move to a different job (again, only if you’re a hiring manager for the destination job)
Click “Update Applicants” to apply your changes.
And that’s it! Bulk updates made simple and efficient. If you hit any snags or have more than 500 applicants to manage, just rinse and repeat in smaller groups—or reach out to our friendly support team. We're always here to help!
