For hiring teams

Clear decisions.
Every candidate answered.

Jobs with their process upfront, pipelines that say whose move it is, independent scorecards and fair, reasoned decisions. With your whole team, in the right roles.

Jobs

Publish a job with its
process upfront.

Candidates see every stage of the process before they apply. Share the job link anywhere, and every application lands in the same pipeline.

  • A public job pageSearchable on Cortopus, with every stage of the process shown.
  • Copy the job linkPost it on your site, in a message or on a board.
  • Verified employerJobs go public only after your company proves its website.
Job link copiedShare it anywhere

Employer verification

Prove your website. Three ways.

  • A DNS record

    Add a TXT record to your domain and your company is verified.

  • A matching work email

    Confirm with an email address on your company's own domain.

  • Staff verification

    Can't do either? Our team can verify your company for you.

Pipelines

A column per stage.
A card that says whose move it is.

Each job's pipeline follows its own workflow. Every card shows what's next and who's waiting, so nothing sits unanswered.

See who's waiting on you

Saved views for what's on your desk: waiting on you, overdue replies, interviews, waiting on the candidate, closed and hired.

Built for a whole team

Working a job together takes a few shared habits. Cortopus keeps them in the open.

  • Shared starsMark standouts for the team. Stars stay on your side.
  • Recently viewed and quick previewJump back into a candidate, or peek without opening the page.
  • A hiring team per jobAdd the people who work a job, and only they see it.
  • To-dos on every jobTasks and follow-ups, right next to the pipeline.

Workflow and reply targets

No more silence.
Every candidate hears back.

Design the stages of a job once: Applied, Review, Screening, Interview, Assignment, Offer and Decision. Each can carry a reply target in working days, and candidates follow those stages as their journey.

  • Rename a stage, everyone followsRenaming a stage updates every candidate's view of it.
  • Candidates see the dateYou're warned before it passes, and flagged when it's overdue.
  • Extend when you need toA deadline can be extended, so the date the candidate sees stays honest.
  • Measured against your own targetSee how often replies went out on time, for the whole team.

Scheduling

The back-and-forth,
taken care of.

Offer a few times, or let the candidate choose from your availability. They pick in their own time zone, and the interview lands on every calendar involved.

  • Offer times, or let them pickSet your hours and overrides, and define the types of interview you run.
  • Interviewers are people on your teamNo double booking. Reschedule by dragging on the calendar.
  • Guests from outsideSomeone outside Cortopus can join one interview with a link and a passcode.

Google and Outlook calendar sync and automatic Meet or Teams links aren't available yet.

The candidate page

Everything about a candidate,
on one page.

The next step comes first, with its due date. Around it: the interview scorecards, the team's notes and the actions you take most.

  • A next step with a due dateExtend it when you need to. The candidate always sees where things stand.
  • Scorecards stay sealedOthers' verdicts stay hidden until you add your own.
  • Notes with @mentionsThink with your team in notes the candidate never sees.
  • One contact personHand it over to a teammate when someone else takes the lead.

Coral, right in the note

Mention @CoralAI in a team note or a conversation and it replies there, from that note or conversation alone. It never counts as a human reply to a candidate.

The moves you make most, one click away

From any candidate page you can act on the application itself.

  • Move stageCandidates see the new stage right away.
  • Send assignmentA brief, files and a due date.
  • Make offerThe candidate answers in place.
  • RejectWith reasons and a real message.

Decisions

Fair decisions,
with reasons you can stand behind.

Independent feedback in. A real message out. Every no says why, in your words.

Feedback without groupthink

Each interviewer fills in a scorecard for the interview. Everyone else's verdict stays sealed until they've added their own.

Rejections with real reasons

Pick the required reasons from your company's own list. Write the message from a template, or schedule it for later.

Templates, offers and care

The small things that make a decision feel human.

  • Templates with placeholdersWrite once with {first_name}, {job}, {company} and {reasons}.
  • Share the reasons, or notYour team always sees them. Telling the candidate is optional.
  • Offers in the same placeMake an offer from the candidate page and watch the answer arrive.
  • Blocking is never automaticManual, with a reason, and reversible. Candidate history shows only what they did with your company.

Insights

Measures you
can explain.

Response rate, reply time, replies on time against your own targets, and where every applicant went. Plus why candidates were turned down.

The dashboard your team opens first

Applications, response rate, positive responses, median reply time and replies on time, with the candidate flow beneath.

Why candidates were rejected

By reason, by stage and by job. Export it as CSV if you're an owner or admin.

  • Period over period

    Applications, interviewed, offers, hired and missed deadlines, each with its change from the last period.

  • Deadlines, aging

    See how reply deadlines are piling up, before they become overdue.

  • Your agenda

    My agenda and recently opened positions, so you start the day knowing where to look.

  • CSV export, on the record

    Owners and admins can export, and every export is written to the audit log.

Team and access

The right people.
The right access.

Everyone sees what they need to, and nothing more. Owners keep the whole picture, and a record of who looked at what.

How Cortopus protects each side

One role each

Owner, Admin, Recruiter and Interviewer. Each person has exactly one, and you can require two-step sign-in for everyone.

An audit log you can read

Who opened which CV or file, team changes, exports and sign-ins, all recorded.

  • Need-to-know access

    Beyond owners and admins, people see only the jobs whose hiring team they're on and the candidates they interview.

  • Two-step sign-in

    Owners can require it for the whole company, with a grace period so nobody is locked out.

  • Retention you set

    Closed applications are deleted after your retention period, unless the candidate asks to be kept on file.

  • An audit log you can read

    Who opened which CV, team changes, exports and sign-ins, all on record.

Questions from teams

Good questions,
straight answers.

Can we use it today?

Yes, while it's in development. You can set up a hiring workspace, invite your team and publish a job today. Teams who'd like to shape what comes next can join early access.

How do reply targets work?

Each stage of a job can carry a reply target, in working days: the longest a candidate waits for your next move. The candidate sees the date, your team gets warnings before it passes and overdue flags after, and a deadline can be extended when you need more time. Your dashboard shows how often replies were on time against your own target.

Who on the team sees what?

Everyone has one role: Owner, Admin, Recruiter or Interviewer. Beyond Owners and Admins, people see only the jobs whose hiring team they're on, and the candidates they interview. Interviewers' scorecards stay sealed from each other until each has added their own.

Can candidates see our notes and scorecards?

No. Team notes, scorecards and the reasons you pick for a rejection stay with your team. You can choose to share the reasons in the message to the candidate.

Does it sync with Google or Outlook calendars?

Not yet. Calendar sync and automatic Meet or Teams links are planned. Today, interviewers are users of your workspace, Cortopus prevents double booking, and a guest from outside your company can join one interview with a link and a passcode.

Why do you verify employers?

So candidates can trust what they find. A company's jobs go public only after it proves its website domain: with a DNS record, with a matching work email, or through verification by our staff.

Do you block candidates automatically?

Never. Blocking a candidate is a manual choice by someone on your team, it needs a reason, and it can be reversed.
