You can also add a candidate to a role directly from their profile page.

Open the candidate's profile
Click Add [Name] to New Role
Search for and select the role
Click Add to Role

What Happens Next

Once you've added candidates to your role, you can:

Schedule interviews — Set up interviews or start interviewing immediately
Conduct interviews — Learn how to run interviews and use Lavalier's recording tools
Track candidate progress — Monitor how each candidate moves through your interview stages

Troubleshooting

Error: I don't see the "Add Candidate" button

Make sure your role is in the "Interviewing" stage. The Add Candidate button only appears for active roles, not roles that are still in draft mode.

Error: I can't find the candidate I'm looking for

The candidate may not exist in your system yet. If you have permission to manage candidates, you can create a new candidate directly from the search dialog by clicking the create option that appears.

Error: I can't add a candidate to the role

You need edit permissions for the candidate to add them to a role. If you don't see the option to add a specific candidate, check with your administrator about your candidate management permissions.
