After adding a candidate, you can monitor the recruitment progress of each candidate and perform a Move Stage or move the candidate to another stage in the recruitment process. Follow these steps.

1. Click one of the candidate names.
   

   If you are an Ultimate Hire customer, you can use the Mekari Airene AI Candidate Score feature. With this feature, AI automatically analyzes the compatibility of the candidate’s skills and profile with the registered job listing (job listing). The analysis is represented as a score. Therefore, if a candidate has an analysis score below a certain value, AI will automatically reject the candidate.

   Important
   How AI Candidate Scoring Works
   - AI uses a match score from 0 to 100 to help you identify the most suitable candidates more quickly. The closer the score is to 100, the better the match between the job requirements and the candidate’s profile.
   - AI analyzes various factors to calculate this score, including the job description, job requirements, and candidate information such as formal and informal education, work experience, gender, estimated salary, and age.
   - To ensure the most accurate match, we strongly recommend that recruiters enter detailed and complete data, especially in the job description, job requirements, salary range, age range, and gender preference (if applicable). The more complete the recruiter’s input, the better AI can identify candidates who truly meet the requirements. Therefore, a cross-check is necessary before selecting a candidate.

2. You will then see the following view. You can manage and monitor the candidate recruitment process on this page.
