In hiring, you often find standout candidates who aren't the right fit for a current role — but could be perfect for something down the line. CLARA's Bookmark feature makes it easy to save those candidates for future opportunities, so great talent is never lost in the shuffle.
This guide walks you through how to bookmark a candidate and access your saved list.
What you'll need before getting started
Before you begin, make sure you have:
Access to CLARA with Recruiter, Partner Admin, or Account Owner permissions
At least one active job with candidates already uploaded and processed
⚠️ Note: You will only be able to bookmark candidates if you have the necessary permissions. If you don't have access, contact your Partner Admin, Account Owner, or our Partner Success team at success@getclara.io.
How to use the Bookmark feature
Log in to CLARA using your Recruiter, Partner Admin, or Account Owner credentials.
Navigate to the Jobs section using the left navigation menu and select Active Jobs. Click into the job whose candidates you'd like to review.
Once you're on the Job Details page, you'll see candidates already sorted by CLARA into Not Qualified and Pre-Qualified based on their match scores.
As you review candidates, look for the star icon in the upper right-hand corner of each candidate card. Click it to bookmark the candidate — they'll be added to your starred list for future reference. You'll see a confirmation notification appear in the upper right corner of your screen once the bookmark has been saved.
To view all your bookmarked candidates, navigate to the Candidates section using the left navigation menu. From here, you can toggle between a view of all screened candidates and those you've bookmarked — making it easy to keep track of potential talent for future openings.
Best Practices
💡 Bookmark early and often — don't wait until the end of a review session. Star strong candidates as you go so no one gets missed.
💡 Use bookmarks to build a talent pool — over time, your starred list becomes a ready-made pipeline of pre-vetted candidates you can revisit whenever a new role opens up.
💡 Check your bookmarks before posting a new role — you may already have a strong match waiting in your starred list from a previous search.
