Choose your next step
Add to board
Create a case in To do on your board. Adding it does not submit an application.
Skip
Set it aside when the trade-off isn't worth it. A skipped role can be restored.
Investigate · planned
A separate decision to investigate is planned. Today, review the sources before
adding or skipping a role. A note alone doesn't confirm a fact.
Add to board and Skip are available in the app. This demonstration does not save or
submit anything.
A reason you can inspect. A decision you control.
The workbench makes the basis of a recommendation visible. You can separate a confirmed
conflict from missing information and see which question to answer next.
Start with the evidence
Compare what the profile says with what the vacancy actually asks for. Keep the source
beside the finding.
Keep uncertainty visible
An unknown is an invitation to investigate. It shouldn't quietly become a negative
score or an invented strength.
Keep the consequence clear
Choosing a role, preparing an application and submitting it are separate actions. The
decision stays with the applicant.
