Improved Productivity for Power Users

- MASS STATUS CHANGE – Move multiple candidates to any stage or step in the hiring process with a few simple clicks
- SCREENING QUESTIONS IN FILTERS – Filter candidates by their answers to a specific list of historical / current screening questions, and create saved searches based on responses
