# Add new applicants
Once an applicant submits an application, either using the online application, or emailing a job
position alias, an applicant card is automatically created in the *Recruitment* application.
However, in some instances, applicants may need to be created manually in the database. This could
be necessary if, for example, a company accepts paper applications in the mail, or is meeting
prospective applicants at an in-person job fair.
To view current applicants, navigate to the {menuselection}`Recruitment` app, then click the desired
job position card. Doing so reveals the {guilabel}`Applications` page, which displays all
applicants for that specific role, in a default Kanban view, organized by stage.
Add new applicants from a job position's {guilabel}`Applications` page by using either: the
{ref}`New <recruitment/create-new-applicant>` button or the {ref}`quick add
<recruitment/quick-add-applicant>` button.

## Quick add
On the {guilabel}`Applications` page, click the on the quick add button, represented by a small
{icon}`fa-plus` {guilabel}`(plus)` icon in the top-right corner of each stage to quickly add a new
applicant to that stage.
Enter the following information on the card:
- {guilabel}`Subject/Application`: enter the title for the card. Typically, this is the applicant's
name, and job position being applied to. For example: `Laura Smith - HR Manager`. The text entered
in this field is **not** visible in the Kanban view of the {guilabel}`Applications` page, unless
the {guilabel}`Applicant's Name` field is left blank.
- {guilabel}`Applicant's Name`: enter the applicant's name. Displays as the card title in the
Kanban view of the {guilabel}`Applications` page.
- {guilabel}`Email`: enter the applicant's email address.
- {guilabel}`Applied Job`: the current job position populates this field. If needed, the job
position can be changed by selecting a different position from the drop-down menu. If a different
job position is selected, after the card is created, the card appears on the
{guilabel}`Applications` page for that newly-selected job position.
After the information is entered, click {guilabel}`Add`. The applicant appears in the list, and a
new blank applicant card appears.
If preferred, after entering the {guilabel}`Applicant's Name` in the Kanban card that appears, click
{guilabel}`Edit`, and a detailed applicant form loads. Refer to the {ref}`New applicant form
<recruitment/applicant-details>` section for details about filling out the form.
When doing a quick add, clicking away from an empty card, or clicking the {icon}`fa-trash-o`
({guilabel}`trash`) icon, discards the applicant.

## New applicant form
On the new applicant form, the {guilabel}`Subject / Application` field is populated with the
pre-selected job position, by default. Certain fields on the applicant card may also be
pre-populated, depending on how the job position is configured. Typically, the {guilabel}`Job`
section, as well as the {guilabel}`Recruiter` field, are pre-populated.
