# Candidate experience

> Every candidate gets one profile, real status on their application, and a real inbox, not silence after they hit apply.

The most common complaint about applying to a job is never hearing back. Staffer gives every candidate a real place to see where they stand.

## One profile, however they arrived

Sourced, applied directly, or referred, every candidate lands in the same portal with the same profile. They edit it once, and their edits stick even as their public profile keeps changing underneath.

## Real status, not silence

Candidates see their application's actual stage, their screening steps, and their message thread in one place, instead of guessing whether an email got read.

## Their own copilot, on their terms

Candidates get a chat assistant on their side too, for questions and light profile edits. Anything that changes their application, like withdrawing, always asks first, and they choose whether it asks every time or acts on their behalf.
