What this applicant tracking system does
It gives each job a structured place for applications, candidate details and pipeline status.
An applicant tracking system should make the current state of a hiring process visible. Digital Arrow groups candidates by job and pipeline stage, so a recruiter can see who has applied and where each person sits without reconstructing the process from messages or folders.
The pipeline is configurable per job. That matters when one role needs a short screening process while another needs more internal steps. Stage names, colors and order can reflect the workflow the team actually uses.
- Use structured job fields instead of publishing only an unformatted description.
- Support both signed-in candidates and lower-friction guest applications.
- Keep job pipelines distinct rather than forcing every opening through one universal stage list.
How candidates apply
Candidates can apply from an account or use the guest application flow.
A registered candidate can select a saved CV and apply from their account. The guest flow asks for contact details and accepts either a CV file or a LinkedIn profile, which gives employers another path for candidates who do not want to create an account first.
After submission, the application is available to the company team inside the job pipeline. Recruiters can open the applicant record and move it as the process progresses.
Configurable stages instead of a fixed funnel
Each job can use the stage names and sequence that fit its hiring process.
A configurable Kanban pipeline makes the workflow legible at a glance. Teams can create stages, adjust their order and apply colors that distinguish one part of the process from another.
Moving an applicant card updates that person's stage for the job. This is intentionally a human-controlled workflow: the current product does not claim AI matching or automatic candidate decisions.
Practical fit
Common use cases

Growing in-house teams
Give a small hiring team one visible workflow instead of maintaining status columns in a spreadsheet.
