CLARA automatically pre-sorts candidates into Not Qualified and Pre-Qualified buckets based on their match scores. This guide walks you through how to adjust that threshold for any individual job — so your pipeline reflects exactly what you're looking for.
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 in CLARA
⚠️ Note: If you don't have the right permissions, contact your Partner Admin, Account Owner, or our Partner Success team at success@getclara.io.
How to modify the sorting range for a job
Log in to CLARA using your Recruiter, Partner Admin, or Account Owner credentials.
Navigate to the Jobs section using the left navigation menu. Select the job you'd like to modify the sorting range for. In the example below, we've navigated to the SQA job.
Once you're on the job page, click the More menu in the upper-right corner of the screen. From the dropdown, select Edit the Sorting Range for this Job. This will open a pop-up window where you can adjust the score threshold between Not Qualified and Pre-Qualified.
Use the slider in the pop-up window to set your preferred score threshold. Move it left to include more candidates in the Pre-Qualified bucket, or right to raise the bar. We recommend starting at 70 as your qualified score, but you can adjust it at any time to match the needs of the role.
💡 Quick Tip: Partner Admins and Account Owners can also adjust the sorting threshold across all jobs at once by going to Settings → Candidate Sorting. Any changes made there will apply organization-wide.
Once you're happy with the threshold, click Save & Sort. CLARA will immediately re-sort your candidates based on the updated range — no further action needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will changing the sorting range affect candidates who have already been reviewed?
Yes — when you click Save & Sort, CLARA will re-sort all candidates in the pipeline based on the new threshold. Candidates may move between the Not Qualified and Pre-Qualified buckets as a result.
Can I change the sorting range more than once?
Yes — you can adjust the sorting range for any job at any time. Just return to the job page, open the More menu, and repeat the steps above.
What's the difference between job-level sorting and organization-level sorting?
Job-level sorting lets you set a custom threshold for one specific role. Organization-level sorting (found under Settings → Candidate Sorting) sets the default threshold that applies to all jobs. Job-level changes take precedence over the organization default for that role.
Who can change the sorting range?
Recruiters, Partner Admins, and Account Owners can adjust the sorting range at the job level. Only Partner Admins and Account Owners can change the organization-level default in Settings.
