The various categories on the leaderboard
At the top of the leaderboard, you will notice different categories.
- Applicant leaderboard (X): When candidates apply for the job and the Workscreen evaluates their scores and ranks them on the leaderboard, the number of applicants will be displayed as shown in the previous image. The X represents the number of applicants who have completed the evaluation process.
Shortlist: This represents the number of candidates you have shortlisted. To shortlist a candidate, scroll down to the bottom of the leaderboard page, select the candidate you want to shortlist, and then click ‘View Details’.
Once you do, this page will be displayed
At the bottom of this page, click on Mark as shortlist
Once you do, the candidate will appear as shortlisted under the leaderboard as shown here.
- The next category on the leaderboard is messaged. You can message a candidate by clicking on message applicant under view applicant summary and scores as shown here.
Once you message a candidate with additional details or next steps, the messaged section will read something like Messaged (1).
- The next category is in progress. This shows candidates undergoing evaluations to assess their suitability.
- Next is offered. This section shows applicants who have received a job offer for the role.
- The hired section on the leaderboard will display the number of candidates you have hired.

How to dive deeper into leaderboard scores and insights to evaluate applicants comprehensively
Just before you get to the list of candidates on the leaderboard, you will see this section
Workscreen provides this helpful guidelines to help you assess candidates more comprehensively. These are indicators of what you should pay attention to as you look at candidate’s responses to their questions.
From the guidelines, you can tell that Workscreen flags for AI and plagiarism because of the growing trend of candidates using all kinds of AI tools like Kickresume and Enhancv to provide polished-looking resumes even when they are not qualified for jobs. So, do not ignore the flags besides a candidate’s name as you assess them since each flag indicates something important.
How to maximize your evaluation data to spot top performers faster.
Workscreen also provides insights into what the scores besides every candidates’ names indicate. The higher the scores, the higher the likelihood that a candidate may be the right fit for the job.
But remember, you should not just use behavioral insights and scores to make the final decision. You should also test for skills and conduct interviews well before making the final decision. Skill testing candidates helps you find out whether they can actually perform in the actual job or not. And Workscreen gives you the chance to assign skill tests easily.
To interview correctly, you have to use candidate’s evaluation responses to craft in-depth follow up questions that help you verify authenticity. Here is a link to a guide on the right way to conduct interviews.
List of candidates on the leaderboard
At the bottom of the leaderboard page, you will see a list of all the applicants who have completed the evaluation. They are ranked and scored based on their performance so that you can easily spot top talent.
You can check the completion time, full summary of their evaluation and their details.
If you want quick options, click on view details across a candidates name. Once this page shows up, you can perform more actions like marking/ unmarking as favorite, marking as hire, rejecting or archiving and more!
How to filter candidates
Workscreen also gives you the option of filtering candidates by name, country, or score. This can come in handy when doing high-volume recruiting since it saves you time and prevents you from manually scrolling through many names trying to find particular ones. Just click on filters to use this feature then search by applicant’s name score, or country.
How to export data
And if you want to export the leaderboard data into a CSV file to use it for reports, analysis, or internal systems, click on download CSV just next to filters.
To learn more about how these features work, click on the section you see in the image, and this pop up will show up
