This help article showcases how Hound streamlines the process of reviewing, categorizing and shortlisting job applicants.
You are notified whenever a candidate applies to your job. You can also view all applicants on your Connections > Jobs page, where all job views and applications are stored. All applications received after November 4, 2026 will also include additional details about visa sponsorship, license info (DVMs only), an optional note and optional resume.
Click on the new applicant notification
Clicking on the notification or from your Notifications page (under your initials or profile photo in the top right corner) will open the candidate's application directly. Any jobs with active applications will show a yellow "Has applicants" tag.
Open the menu by clicking on your initials or profile photo, then click Notifications.
Clicking on the notification will take you directly to the applicant's profile.
Clicking on your email notification will take you to your Connections page, where all job applicants are listed.
Go to the Connections page
To see a breakdown of your hiring status for all candidates, click on Connections from the top menu bar.
Toggle to jobs
On this page, you can filter by all candidates that have interacted with you, job candidates or shift candidates. Click on the Jobs tab to see a breakdown of your hiring statuses.
Filter by Active jobs
After clicking on Jobs, scroll down to the Applications section. This section lists all applicants to your job(s). To check which job the candidate applied to, use the "active jobs" filter. Selected jobs in this filter will show only applicants to that job.
Click on the candidate profile to view all their applications
Hover over the candidate's profile card and click the Review button to launch the job application popup, which lists all the jobs they applied to.
From the candidate's profile page, you can also click on the "Applied to" banner at the bottom to see all jobs they applied to. Click on each job to view the specific application.
For job applications received after November 4, 2026, you will see the new format that includes a required visa sponsorship question, an optional note, and optional resume. For veterinarian jobs, this will also include a required license question.
Click on the Review button on the candidate's profile card.
The new job application popup, which includes details about visa sponsorship, active license (DVMs only), an optional note and resume
A candidate's profile now includes all their job application details prominently in the Application Details section. You can also see all jobs and shifts they applied to in the bottom "Applied to" banner.
Final note about withdrawn applications
If you received a notification about a job application but do not see it on your Connections > Jobs page under the Applications section, it's likely that the applicant withdrew their application. This happens sometimes when the candidate changed their mind or received another job offer. It's always a good idea to still message them!
