The CV preview and keyboard shortcuts

The three-panel view for reviewing applications fast, and the full shortcut list.

Written by Maciej Michalewski

The CV preview is the fastest way through a pile of applications. Open it with Ctrl+P from the board, or by clicking preview on a candidate card.

On the board, you open the preview with the eye icon button above the columns, labelled "Ctrl+P". The "CV preview" icon on a card appears when you hover over the card, if the candidate has a CV.

The CV preview: stage candidates, the CV, and the notes panel

Three panels

  • On the left — candidates from the current stage. Click to move between them without closing the window.

  • In the middle — the CV. You can zoom, rotate and print it. When a candidate has no CV you get a message rather than a blank page.

  • On the right — the candidate's notes, actions and projects, switched by tabs.

Above the CV are the candidate's tags — you can add and remove them without leaving the preview.

Keyboard shortcuts

The shortcuts are printed under the toolbar icons, so there is nothing to memorise. The full set:

  • Ctrl+↑ / Ctrl+↓ — previous and next candidate

  • Ctrl+← / Ctrl+→ — previous and next stage

  • Alt+← — reject the candidate

  • Alt+→ — move to the next stage

  • Ctrl+E — write a message

  • Ctrl+G — rate the candidate

  • Ctrl+O — full screen, Ctrl+P — print

  • Ctrl+1 / 2 / 3 — switch the right-hand tabs

  • Esc — close the preview

On a Mac use instead of Ctrl, and reject and move are ⌘⇧+← and ⌘⇧+→.

Writing a note

When the Notes tab is active, any letter key jumps the cursor straight into the note field — you can start typing without clicking. Confirm the note with Ctrl+Enter.
