# Review candidates

Review the candidates Finlay brings to you, their assessment evidence and their outreach or pre-screen history before deciding what to do next.

## Make hiring decisions with context

Use the job's **Candidates** tab to find candidates waiting for your decision
or inspect a candidate already in progress. Open a candidate for their profile
evidence, role assessment, pre-screen information and message history.

Check the role evidence, answers to open questions and conversation history
before deciding whether the candidate should continue. A missing structured
assessment on an older candidate means Finlay has no assessment to show.

For a Sourcing only job, this is also where you select candidates and review
outreach drafts before any message is sent. See
[Reach out to candidates yourself](https://help.finlay.ai/outreach/reach-out-yourself/).

For AI pre-screen assessment and progression rules, see
[AI pre-screening](https://help.finlay.ai/prescreening/ai-prescreening/).

## Reject a candidate

You can **Reject** a candidate from their profile through Interviewing.
Rejecting stops the candidate from progressing in that job; it does not delete
their profile or affect another job.
