# Candidates

Job candidates are displayed on the **Candidates** page.

To view the list of currently available candidates, go to **Main Menu** > **Candidates**.

Candidates on this page may originate from various sources:

- Candidates that apply for a job on your career sites
- Candidates that apply for a talent pool on your career sites
- Candidates that are created directly from Talenteria
- Candidates that are manually linked to a job opening
- Candidates that are added to a talent pool

Candidates may be linked to a job opening ([manually linked](https://help.talenteria.com/v1/docs/link-a-candidate-to-a-job-opening) in Talenteria or automatically when they apply for a job) or to a talent pool ([manually added](https://help.talenteria.com/v1/docs/add-a-candidate-to-a-talent-pool) to a talent pool or automatically when they apply for a talent pool). The job opening/talent pool they are linked to is shown in the **Job Opening** or **Job Opening/****Talent Pool** field. A candidate may not be linked to any job opening or talent pool yet when you manually create a candidate in Talenteria.

NoteIf one and the same candidate will apply for multiple job openings/talent pools or will be manually linked to multiple job openings/talent pools, a separate record will be created for each application on the **Candidates** page. In the **Job Opening** or **Job Opening/****Talent Pool** field (depending on the filters applied), you can see the title of the job opening or talent pool the candidate applied for on a career site or was manually linked/added to.

## Search for candidates

If you have a long list of candidates, you can search for a candidate by typing the candidate name in the **Search** field. Alternatively, you can navigate through the pages using the navigation buttons at the bottom.

## Filter candidates

You can set filters to narrow down the list of shown candidates:

- In the left pane, you can set filters by candidate status or talent pool they were invited from. The list of available candidate statuses is based on the [candidate statuses settings](https://help.talenteria.com//v1/docs/candidate-statuses).![](https://cdn.document360.io/ae8040b0-f92a-4262-a61d-9d836fcbb559/Images/Documentation/image-1714512333618.png)
