Applicant tracking portal

An applicant tracking portal is where candidates apply through a public form, recruiters move each one through interview stages on a board, and interviewers file their scores on the candidate's record.

Pattern: Requests

Describe it to Pory

“We're hiring for a few roles. Candidates should apply on a public page, recruiters move them through screening and interviews, and each interviewer adds a score and notes.”

What is an applicant tracking portal?

An applicant tracking portal is where candidates apply through a public form, recruiters move each one through interview stages on a board, and interviewers file their scores on the candidate's record. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (recruiter and interviewer) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited candidates.

What it does

01

Candidates apply on a public page with their CV attached

Applications came in through a jobs inbox, LinkedIn messages and the occasional CV handed to reception. In Pory candidates fill in one public form — the role, their email, why they want it, and their CV — without making an account. Each application lands in the Applied column, and nobody forwards CVs around with "thoughts?" any more.

02

Recruiters drag candidates from phone screen to offer on one board

Knowing who was at which stage meant a spreadsheet with colour-coded rows and a recruiter's memory for the rest. In Pory each candidate is a card in Applied, Phone screen, Interview, Offer or Rejected, and the recruiter drags it along after each conversation. Hiring managers stop asking where their shortlist has got to.

03

Interviewers log a score and notes on the candidate, not in Slack

Interview feedback trickled in by Slack message days later, if at all, and half of it was "seemed good". In Pory each interviewer sees the candidates assigned to them and files a scorecard with a 1–5 score, a recommendation and notes, linked to the candidate. The recruiter opens the candidate and reads each scorecard in one place.

The parts every portal is built from

Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.

Collect

Forms

Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.

Public pages

An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.

Self sign-up

People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.

File attachments

Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.

Decide

Approve / reject with a reason

Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.

Status tracker

“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.

Board by status

Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.

Checklists

Task lists ticked off per record, in its detail view, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.

Assign to a person

Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.

Notes & scores

A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.

Reminders by date

Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.

Share

Tables

Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.

People directory

Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.

Calendar

Records on a month or week view, by date.

Gallery & image grid

Records as cards or photos.

Detail view with related items

Open a unit, a pet or a listing to see its details and everything tied to it — requests, visits, offers. Share it by link; edit, change the status or add a related item from there.

Notices & info pages

Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.

Counts, totals & averages

Live figures over the records a viewer is allowed to see.

Control

Who sees which records

Each person sees their own records, the ones assigned to them, their team's or the ones they manage. Fields can be hidden per role. Generated from your description, not set up field by field.

No-Password Doors

A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.

Your brand

Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
