Manage Candidates in the Talent Tracker
Last updated: July 10, 2026
The Talent Tracker provides a centralized view of every stage of the hiring process for a job post, from inviting talent through contracting and completed engagements.
As talent progresses through the hiring workflow, they automatically move between stages, making it easy to monitor their status and take the next action.

Talent Tracker Stages
The Talent Tracker is organized into the following stages:
Stage | Description | Available Actions |
Invited | Talent has been invited to the job but has not yet responded. | Chat with invited talent and view whether they were invited from your Company Talent Pool or the Global Talent Network. |
Proposals for Review | Talent has submitted a proposal for the job. | Review proposal details, view the talent's profile, and shortlist talent for further consideration. |
Shortlisted Proposals | Talent has been shortlisted by you, a teammate, or the Lifted sourcing team. | Review the proposal and send a proposed contract. Contract details are automatically populated from the talents’ proposals and can be modified before sending back to talent for review and agreement. |
Pending Contracts | A proposed contract has been sent to the talent. | Track contracts while talent reviews the contract or completes onboarding requirements. |
Accepted Contracts | The talent has completed onboarding and accepted the contract terms. | View accepted contracts that are either active or scheduled to begin on a future start date. |
Archived Contracts | Contracts that are no longer active. | View completed or declined contracts for reference. |
Declined | The hiring process did not move forward. | View opportunities where the talent declined the invitation or the proposal was declined. |
