Candidate table and kanban board

Chosen shows your candidates two ways: a table and a board. The table is a spreadsheet you can sort and filter; the board is a kanban view grouped by status. Switch between them at the top of the candidate list — same candidates, different shape.

Which view to use

Use the table when you want everyone at once and you're looking for patterns — every candidate who listed Python, everyone owned by a teammate, the whole pile sorted by match score. It's columns and rows, and you can sort or filter on any of them.

Use the board when you're moving people through stages. Each column is a status, each card is a candidate, and the layout gives you a read on where the pipeline is thin. Good for a weekly review of who's stuck where.

Neither is the "real" view. They're the same data, and switching costs nothing.

Switching views

1. Open a job's candidate list, or the master Candidates list from the left sidebar.
2. Use the view toggle at the top of the list to switch between table and board.

Your choice is saved per job, not globally. A board view for engineering and a table for sales is a normal setup — Chosen remembers each one separately, so you don't re-pick the view every time you open a role.

Working with table columns

The table columns do what you'd expect from a spreadsheet:

• Sort — click a column header. Click again to reverse it. Sorting a column sorts the whole filtered list, not just the visible page.
• Reorder — drag a column header sideways to move it. Put the columns you check most on the left.
• Resize — drag the edge of a header. Widths persist, so a column you widened to read full job titles stays wide next time.

Which columns show up at all is driven by your custom fields — adding a field adds a column you can then sort, move, and resize like any other.

Limits

The board groups strictly by status — it has no other grouping (by job, by owner, by source). For anything beyond status, use the table and its filters. And the board can get unwieldy once a status holds a few hundred candidates; at that size the table is the calmer place to work.
