Guides
Candidates in Chosen
Candidates land in a table you can also view as a kanban board. How to move them through your pipeline, parse resumes, score matches, and export data.
Candidate search in Chosen
Search candidates already in Chosen with one query bar and three modes — AI deep search (the default), smart, and boolean. When to reach for each one.
Scheduling interviews in Chosen
Connect your calendar and let the AI scheduler handle the interview back-and-forth — finding times, emailing candidates, and booking the meeting.
Interviews: Choosie prep, live copilot, and scorecards
Choosie joins your interviews: prep kits before the call, a live dashboard during it, and evidence-backed scorecards with hiring reports after — inside Chosen.
Workbench: hands-on challenge interviews
Run hands-on challenge interviews in Chosen's Workbench: repo-grounded tasks, async take-homes with a candidate link, auto-scored sessions, and replays.
Sourcing and outreach
Find candidates instead of waiting for them — run a web Mission, enrich emails, draft outreach, and send from your own inbox without burning your domain.
Recruit on the Chosen Marketplace
How independent recruiters apply to roles with published fees, work candidates in a full ATS, add one to a role to send Chosen the packet, and get paid.
Hiring through the Marketplace
Publish a role to the Chosen Marketplace, review recruiter submittals from the Pending approval column, and run interviews on the role's own pipeline board.
Careers page and the apply flow
How your public careers page works in Chosen: publishing jobs, branding the page, building application forms, and what candidates see when they apply.
Analytics in Chosen
Reporting on your hiring pipeline: funnels, source effectiveness, time-in-stage, team throughput, and a custom chart builder — all filterable by job and date.

Workflows
From a passive candidate to a booked call
A hands-off Chosen workflow: run a Mission to find a passive candidate, enrich their email, draft outreach, and let the AI scheduler book the call once they reply.
Turn fresh applicants into a ranked shortlist
A Chosen workflow for triaging applications fast: resume parsing fills the fields, match rating scores each against the job, then sort and bulk-move the top band.
Run an interview loop without the calendar tetris
A Chosen workflow for multi-interviewer loops: an interview template sets the panel, availability windows bound the search, and the AI scheduler books the overlap.
Run a screening pass with one Choosie instruction
A Chosen workflow for using the Choosie assistant to do a multi-step screening job in one request — and why plan-gating makes a big instruction safe to give.
Keep your pipeline warm with a Monday loop
A weekly Chosen routine so good candidates don't go cold: use analytics to spot stale candidates, capture them in a saved search, bulk-email them, and refresh status.
Sharpen a role mid-search and re-rank everyone
A Chosen workflow: edit a job description to fix what you're looking for, let match ratings recompute, re-run the saved search, and review the re-ranked shortlist.
Close out rejected candidates kindly and fast
A Chosen workflow for rejecting candidates well: multi-select the ones not moving forward, send a templated rejection from your own inbox, and move them to Rejected.
