What Are the Filter Options in the “Applications” Section?

This help articles describes the various filter options that can be used by users in the "Applications" section of softgarden.

In the applications section, various filters are available to help you quickly and precisely narrow down incoming applications. The structure follows the layout of the article on filtering options in the jobs section. All filters can be combined to tailor the view perfectly to your needs.


Filters Under the "Active" and "Hires" Tabs

The Following Filters are Available to You:

  • Job — filters candidate profiles by the associated job

  • Location — filters candidate profiles by the job's location

  • Application stage — filters by the current stage in the application process

  • Owner — filters candidate profiles by the job owner

  • Company — filters by the company associated with the jobs


Filter Under the "Rejections" Tab

The Following Filters are Available to You:

  • All — shows both applicant profiles that have already been rejected and those still in the rejection queue.

  • Rejected — shows only applicant profiles that have been definitively rejected.

  • Rejection queue — shows applicant profiles that have been rejected internally and are still in the rejection queue.

  • Location — filters applicant profiles by the location of the respective position.

  • Reason for rejection — filters by the reasons for rejection stored in the system.

Use the "More filters" button to select additional criteria and further refine the application overview.

Additional Filter Criteria

  • Rating — filters applications based on the assigned star rating

  • Tags — filters by assigned keywords

  • Source channel — filters by the channel through which the application was received (e.g., internal, external, referral)

  • Updates — shows applications with recent changes

  • Paused — shows applications that are currently paused

Saving Filter Sets

To reuse frequently used filter combinations more quickly, you can save custom filter sets. This is particularly helpful if you regularly work with the same criteria—such as specific locations, application stages, or job teams.

How to Save Filter Sets

  1. First, select the desired filters from the header bar or from the options available under the "More filters" button.

  2. Then, click "Save filter."

  3. Assign a unique name to your filter set.

  4. The saved set will now appear in your filter list and can be activated at any time with a single click.

Managing Filter Sets

  • Clicking the pencil icon allows you to rename an existing filter set.

  • Sets you no longer need can be removed using the trash can icon.

Important Note

If no jobs—or very few—are displayed despite having filters set, other active filter sets may be restricting the selection too much. In this case, use the "Reset" function to clear all filters and then select one of the four main filters again.

Note Regarding Missing or Insufficient Results

If no applications—or very few—are displayed despite having filters set, other active filter sets may be restricting the selection too much. In this case, use the "Reset" function to clear all filters and then select your desired filters again.


Tip

The filters can be combined in any way to optimally narrow down the list of applicants—especially helpful when there are many active job openings or multiple locations.
