Home screen combining calendar, activity, hot jobs and monthly stats.
Why it exists One glance shows everything happening in your hiring today.
Recruiting is interrupt-driven work: applications arrive overnight, interviews move, hiring managers ask "where are we on X?" without warning. Without a landing page, the first ten minutes of every day are spent reconstructing state by clicking through jobs one at a time. The dashboard is built to answer four questions immediately — what is on my calendar, what changed since I left, which roles are heating up, and how does the month look — so you can start working instead of orienting.
How to use it
Click "Dashboard" in the top navigation bar (or the Canvider logo).
Review the calendar panel on the left for upcoming interviews.
Review the Activity Feed panel on the right for recent events.
Scroll down to "Hot Jobs" for your most active positions.
Scroll further to "Monthly Applicant Overview" for status counts.
Good to know
Everything shown is scoped to your company — the panels aggregate across all your jobs, not just yours personally.
Use it as a morning routine: calendar first (commitments), then activity (what changed), then Hot Jobs (where to spend time).
The Canvider logo is a shortcut back here from anywhere in the app.
For trend and performance questions rather than "what's happening now", use Analytics instead.
Search bar filtering jobs and activity on the dashboard.
Why it exists Finds a specific job or event without leaving the page.
Once you are running more than a handful of roles, the Hot Jobs and Activity panels become long enough that scanning them defeats the point of a dashboard. This search filters both panels in place, which is deliberately different from the People search: it is for orienting ("what happened on the Unity Developer role?"), not for finding a person. Because it filters as you type and never navigates away, you keep the rest of your dashboard context while you look.
How to use it
Open the Dashboard.
Click the search field labelled "Search jobs & activity…" in the header.
Type any part of a job title or activity text.
The Hot Jobs and Activity panels filter as you type.
Clear the field to restore the full view.
Good to know
It filters the dashboard panels only — it does not search candidates. Use Applicant Search on the People page for that.
Partial matches work, so a fragment of a job title is enough.
Clearing the field restores the full dashboard; you never need to reload the page.
Built-in calendar showing interviews and recruitment events.
Why it exists Keeps every interview and meeting visible in one place.
Interview scheduling is where hiring most often breaks down, because the commitment lives in one system (your work calendar) while the context lives in another (the ATS). Canvider's calendar keeps both together: each event is linked to a specific vacancy and candidate, so an entry is never just "Interview — 2pm" with no way to recall who or why. If you connect Google or Microsoft, this view stays in sync with your real calendar, making it a working view rather than a duplicate you have to maintain.
How to use it
Open the Dashboard and find the "Calendar" panel.
Switch the view using the "Day", "Week" or "Month" buttons.
Use the left/right arrow buttons to move between periods.
Click "Today" to jump back to the current date.
Click any day showing coloured dots to open its event list.
Good to know
Coloured dots mark days with events; the colour is the one chosen when the event was created.
Month view is best for spotting scheduling pressure; Day view is best for actually running the day.
With Google or Microsoft connected, events sync both ways and a "Syncing..." indicator appears in the header.
Events are linked to a vacancy and candidate, so you can always trace an interview back to its application.
Add an interview or meeting directly from the calendar.
Why it exists Schedules recruitment events without leaving the dashboard.
This is the calendar-first way to book something, as opposed to Schedule Interview which starts from a candidate. Use it when you are thinking in terms of time ("Thursday afternoon is free — let's fill it") rather than in terms of a person. Because it still asks for a position and a candidate, the resulting event carries the same links and the same automatic email invitations as one booked from the applicant page; the two routes create the same kind of record, just from opposite starting points.
How to use it
On the Dashboard calendar, click a day to open the day modal.
Click "+ Add New Event".
Fill in "Event Title" and pick an "Event Type".
Select one or many "Recruiters" from the dropdown.
Select the "Position" (vacancy), then pick a "Candidate" from that vacancy.
Set the date, "Start Time" and "End Time".
Optionally add a "Meeting Link" or generate one (see Meeting Links).
Tick "Inform invitees by E-mail" to send invitations.
Choose a "Color" for the event and click "Save Event".
Good to know
The candidate list is filtered by the position you pick, so choose the vacancy first.
Nothing is emailed unless you tick "Inform invitees by E-mail" — you can create a private placeholder by leaving it off.
Invitation emails include an .ics attachment so recipients can add it to any calendar app.
Colours are worth using consistently (for example one colour per hiring stage) — they are what makes month view readable.
Why it exists Keeps the schedule accurate when plans change.
Interviews get moved constantly — a candidate's flight is delayed, a hiring manager gets pulled into a customer escalation. The risk is not the reschedule itself but the stale copy: a cancelled interview left on the calendar wastes an interviewer's afternoon, and a moved one that was never updated means the candidate joins an empty call. Editing here keeps the linked calendars and the notified attendees consistent with reality, which is why it is preferable to just booking a second event and ignoring the first.
How to use it
On the Dashboard calendar, click the day containing the event.
Find the event in the day modal's event list.
Click the pencil (edit) icon to change details, then save.
Or click the trash (delete) icon to remove the event.
Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Good to know
Edit rather than delete-and-recreate: edits propagate to your synced external calendar, and a recreated event loses its history.
Deletion also propagates to the connected Google or Microsoft calendar when sync is on.
If invitees were emailed originally, tell them about the change too — a silent edit may not reach everyone.
Deletion is confirmed with a prompt because it cannot be undone from the calendar.
Chronological stream of applications, status changes and job events.
Why it exists Shows what your team and candidates did recently.
In a shared pipeline, the expensive failure is duplicated or contradictory work: two recruiters emailing the same candidate, or someone advancing a person a colleague had already rejected. The activity feed is the shared awareness layer that prevents this — it is the answer to "what happened while I was out?" without asking anyone. It is also a lightweight audit trail: when a candidate's status looks wrong, the feed usually shows who changed it and when.
How to use it
Open the Dashboard and locate the "Activity Feed" panel.
Click the "All" tab to see everything, or a category tab to filter.
Scroll through the entries to review recent events.
Click an entry to jump to the related applicant or job.
Good to know
Entries are clickable — they are the fastest route to the candidate or job in question.
Category tabs are the way to cut through noise on a high-volume week.
The feed covers your whole company, not only your own actions.
Clearing the feed is company-wide and cannot be undone, so use the category tabs first.
Wipe the current activity feed entries for your company.
Why it exists Resets a noisy feed so new events stand out.
After a bulk import of a few hundred CVs or a mass status update, the feed can be flooded with hundreds of near-identical entries that bury everything genuinely worth noticing. Clearing gives you a clean baseline so the next real event is visible again. Treat it as a deliberate reset rather than routine housekeeping: it affects the feed for everyone at your company, and colleagues who have not caught up lose their view of what happened.
How to use it
Open the Dashboard.
In the "Activity Feed" panel header, click the "Clear" button.
Confirm the action when prompted.
The feed empties and shows "No Recent Activity".
Good to know
This affects the whole company's feed, not just your view — teammates lose their unread history too.
It cannot be undone. Try the category tabs or Dashboard Search first if you only want less noise.
Clearing the feed does not change any candidate, application or job data; only the activity entries go.
A good moment to use it is right after a bulk CV upload, once you have reviewed the results.
Panel highlighting your most active job postings by applicants.
Why it exists Points attention to roles receiving the most interest.
Recruiter attention is the scarcest resource in hiring, and it tends to drift toward whichever role someone complained about most recently rather than where the actual volume is. Hot Jobs re-anchors that decision in data: the roles pulling the most applicants are the ones where a day of screening produces the most shortlist, and where a slow response does the most damage to candidate experience. Read alongside Analytics, it also flags the inverse problem — a role you expected to be hot that is missing from this list needs a sourcing or job-description fix, not more screening.
How to use it
Open the Dashboard and scroll to the "Hot Jobs" panel.
Review each job card and its applicant count.
Click a job card to open its job details page.
Click "View All Jobs" to go to the full Jobs list.
Good to know
Ranking is by applicant volume, which measures interest — not candidate quality. Check scores on the job page before celebrating.
A role you expected here but do not see is a signal to revisit the job description or start sourcing.
Cards link straight to the job details page, where bulk actions and per-job analytics live.
Monthly counts of applicants grouped by application status.
Why it exists Quick pulse-check on pipeline volume this month.
This is the fastest available read on pipeline shape. A healthy month narrows steadily from New toward Offer; an unhealthy one bulges somewhere in the middle, which almost always means candidates are waiting on a human rather than being blocked by anything real. Because it is grouped by status rather than by job, it is the panel that tells you what kind of work is backing up — screening, interviewing or deciding — before you drill into which role is responsible.
How to use it
Open the Dashboard and scroll to "Monthly Applicant Overview".
Read each stat card — the number and its status label.
Compare cards to see where candidates are concentrated.
Click through to People for the full applicant list.
Good to know
A large pile in an early status usually means screening capacity, not candidate quality, is the constraint.
The cards reflect your configured application states, so custom statuses appear here too.
