Filter by Job Application Status in Candidate Review

Flo moves quickly, and this update is a good example of how that pace translates into real, practical improvements for recruiting teams. Job Candidate Review now supports filtering by job application status, which means getting the right candidates in front of the right people is a much more direct process.

The challenge

We heard from recruiting teams that building a Candidate Review often meant pulling in candidates by hand, one by one, or sorting through a broader list to find the ones actually ready for a specific stage of review. When your workflow relies on application statuses to signal where a candidate stands, there was no direct way to use that signal to populate a review. The status was there; the filter was not.

What we launched

Recruiting teams can now filter by job application status when creating a Job Candidate Review. The workflow is straightforward: create a Job Candidate Review, select the relevant job or jobs, and then filter by job application status on the candidate selection step. Only candidates in the status you choose will be pulled in.

This works across multiple interview events tied to the same job, so a recruiter working on a search that spans several rounds can still pull in every qualifying candidate in a single step.

Why it matters

The practical range here is wide. A few concrete examples of how recruiting teams are already thinking about using this:

• For partner and executive-level hiring, filter to a status like "Ready for executive committee review" and send that focused Candidate Review link directly to the committee. No extra curation needed.
• For lateral associate or business professional hiring, filter to something like "App Submitted - Ready for Hiring Manager Review" and route that review to the right practice group leader or manager without building the list manually.
• For student hiring ahead of a hiring committee meeting, filter to "Callback completed - to review in Hiring Committee" so the committee is looking at exactly the candidates ready for offer decisions.

In each case, the status your team already uses to track candidate progress becomes the mechanism for getting those candidates in front of decision-makers quickly and accurately.

This came directly from what recruiting teams told us they needed, and it is the kind of targeted improvement we prioritize getting out quickly rather than waiting for a larger overhaul. If there are other filters or workflow adjustments that would make Candidate Review work better for your team, we want to hear about them.
