The Candidate Portal gives your candidates a single place to track their applications, complete pending actions, and stay informed -- all under your agency's branding. No app download, no password. Just a magic link.
Candidates receive a magic link via email. Clicking it authenticates them instantly -- no username or password required.

When a candidate visits their portal, you are notified. This gives you a signal that the candidate is engaged and actively checking their status -- useful context before a follow-up call.

The portal displays your agency's logo and primary brand colour, pulled from your settings at Settings -> Agency -> Branding. Candidates see your brand, not PlacementFlow's.
An EU AI Act compliance notice appears at the bottom of the portal, informing candidates that AI tools assist with screening and analysis but all decisions are human-reviewed.
