Anatomy of a candidate profile

What the profile is for

The candidate profile is the page Talinty opens when you click on a candidate from anywhere in the product. It's the

consolidated view of one person across your entire process: the resume, the AI vetting, your notes, the team's feedback, the

communications, the assessment results, and the history of every status change.

You'll spend more time in profiles than anywhere else in Talinty, and they're built to reward that. Everything you need to make

a decision is there, in roughly the order you'd want it.

How you get there

Three main paths:

From the Candidate List on the dashboard, click any row.

From a role's pipeline view, click any candidate card.

From the AI copilot, ask "show me Sara Mansouri" or paste a name in the global search.

Inside a profile, you can navigate to the next or previous candidate (in the current list or tab) without going back to the list.

Use the arrow buttons at the top of the profile, or the keyboard shortcuts J (next) and K (previous).

Note for the docs team: confirm the keyboard shortcuts against the live product. If they're not implemented, drop this line.

The pattern (sequential navigation without leaving the profile) is the pattern to keep.

The main sections

Profile sections sit in a left or top navigation, depending on screen size. The standard set:

Summary. The top of the profile. Name, headline, current role, location, application source, and the dual AI scores (resume

match, skill match %). This is the at-a-glance read.

AI Vetting Brief. The three-column structured analysis: Why they match, Bonus strengths, Things to consider. This is the

section you read instead of the resume. How to read it in depth lives in Working with the AI.

Resume & Portfolio. The original resume, viewable inline as a PDF. Links to portfolios, GitHub, LinkedIn, or any other URL the

candidate submitted. Detailed in Resumes and portfolios.

Application History. Every role this candidate has applied to (or been added to) inside your workspace, with dates and

outcomes. Useful when a candidate has applied to multiple roles or been moved between pipelines.

Notes & Evaluations. Your team's running commentary: private notes, team-visible notes, scorecards from interviews, and

structured evaluations tied to assessment stages. See Notes, evaluations, and scorecards.

Communications. The full conversation thread: emails sent to and received from the candidate, automated status updates,

scheduling messages. See Communicating with candidates.

Assessments. Every test or async video interview the candidate has completed, with scores and recordings. Video

transcripts are searchable from here.

Timeline. A chronological log of every change: stage moves, status updates, notes added, messages sent, assessments

completed. The timeline answers "what happened with this candidate and when?"

The actions panel

Every profile has an actions panel (typically on the right side) that surfaces the moves you'd most likely want to make on this

specific candidate, right now. Common actions:

Move to next stage.

Disqualify with a reason.

Send a message.

Schedule an interview.

Run an assessment.

Add to talent pool.

Add a note.

Compare with another candidate.

The panel is contextual. A candidate at the Application stage shows different actions than one at the Decision stage. Actions

you can't take from your current role (because of permissions) are either hidden or shown but disabled, depending on the

workspace settings.

Moving between candidates

You rarely look at a profile in isolation. Two patterns most teams use:

Sequential review. Open the first candidate and work through the list with the next and previous controls. The profile

preserves your scroll position when you return to it later.

Side-by-side. From the actions panel, click Compare Candidates and pick another candidate from your shortlist. Both profiles

open in a split view with their AI analytics aligned. Built for the final-two decision.
