Product · The other side
Candidates do not hate this. Some of them love it.
The supply side of the marketplace, treated as product. Candidates get a real conversation, an honest time estimate, an explained decision, and a profile that follows them. Not a CV into a black hole.

Their pipeline view
Five stages. Five honest updates.
01
You applied.
Confirmation within minutes, with the time estimate for the screen and the option to schedule it.
02
The conversation.
A 15-minute screen by voice or chat, in the candidate's language. They can pause and resume within 72 hours.
03
The assessment.
The selected modules with an honest length estimate. Accommodations on request, no flag.
04
The interview.
A 30-minute behavioural by voice. The right to ask for a human interviewer instead, no penalty.
05
A real decision.
Either advanced to the human final round, or a respectful, personalised note with feedback. No ghosting. Ever.
Their profile, their data
One profile. Follows them across employers.

Every candidate who applies through Picked owns a structured profile. Their screen transcripts, their assessment results, their interview transcripts, all in their account, all exportable.

If they apply to another Picked role within a sensible window, they do not retake the assessment. They opt in to be matched to other roles or they do not. They can publish a ‘Picked Verified’ public version of their profile as an alternative to LinkedIn, with claims backed by evidence rather than self-report. They can delete the lot at any time.

  • Owned by the candidate, not the employer.
  • Exportable as JSON and PDF.
  • Deletable in one click; we mean it.
  • A verified public profile is the V3 candidate-side play. Teaser at /picked-verified.
Time estimate
shown before the candidate commits. No surprises.
Pause and resume
any stage for up to 72 hours.
No ghosting.
Every candidate gets a decision, with a date and time stamp.
If they do not get the job
Personalised feedback. Adjacent roles. A profile that compounds.

Most candidates today get nothing. We can do better. Every rejected candidate gets: where they scored, what would strengthen a future application, and which adjacent roles in our system fit them better. Opt-out at any time.

  • ●Per-candidate, not a template.
  • ●Optional opt-in to surface to other employers' relevant roles (the V3 marketplace wedge).
  • ●Not used to train models without explicit consent.
Rights
Four rights every candidate has, every time.
01
The right to know.
Plain-English explanation of what the AI is doing at each stage, and what it is not.
02
The right to a human.
Any stage, any time. No penalty. Five working days for the review.
03
The right to their data.
Export it, delete it, take it elsewhere. One-click DSAR at /legal/data-rights-request.
04
The right to complain.
A working appeal path with clear timescales. Not a contact form into a black hole.
Most hiring tools talk about candidate experience because the regulator made them. We talk about it because the candidate is the supply side of the marketplace. If candidates hate applying through us, the supply dries up and the product fails. The economics force us to treat candidates well; the morality is a happy side effect.
Strategic brief, section 3
If you are a candidate
This page is for buyers. You have your own.
The candidate side of Picked has its own home, its own voice, and its own front door. It is also where the live job board lives.
