# Candidate reviews

> See what candidates say about interviewing with you, respond to reviews, and pin your best ones to your job board profile.

## Overview

Candidate reviews are left by candidates who interviewed with you. They appear on your Dover job board profile once they're approved. Click **Candidate Reviews** in the left sidebar to read them, respond, and choose which ones to feature.

## See your reviews

The **Candidate Reviews** page shows your average rating and each review. A review shows:

- The **Overall rating**.
- The **Interview difficulty**, when the candidate gave one.
- The candidate's written **Review**.
- Your response, if you wrote one.

When there's more than one review, you can sort the list. Reviews that were hidden show a **Hidden** tag. A hidden review doesn't appear on your job board profile.

By default, reviews show **Anonymous candidate**.

## Respond to a review

1. Click **Candidate Reviews** in the left sidebar.
2. Find the review and click **Respond to review**.
3. Write your response and save it.

Dover shows **Response saved**. To change your response later, click **Edit your response**.

## Pin a review to your job board

Pinned reviews are featured at the top of your job board profile. You can pin up to 3, and the page shows how many you've used, such as "1 of 3 pinned to your job board".

1. Open **Candidate Reviews**.
2. Find the review and click **Pin to your job board**.
3. To remove it from the top, click **Unpin from your job board**.

A hidden review can't be pinned, and a review that isn't approved yet isn't eligible.

## Control the review request emails

Dover emails candidates 10 days after they reach an interview stage and asks them to review their interview experience. You set this for each job.

1. On the **Candidate Reviews** page, click the settings icon, **Candidate review email settings**.
2. In the **Candidate review emails** window, find the job.
3. Turn the email on or off, or click the job's name to open its **Customizations** section.

You can also change it on the job's **Job Posting** tab, under **Candidate Review Request**. See [Job postings and application forms](https://docs.dover.com/getting-applicants/job-postings/#application-emails-and-automation).

## Frequently asked questions

### Where do candidate reviews appear?

On the **Candidate Reviews** page, and on your Dover job board profile once they're approved.

### Why does a review show Hidden?

The review was hidden, so it doesn't appear on your job board profile. A hidden review can't be pinned.

### Why can't I see who left a review?

Seeing who left a review is part of ATS Premium. Without it, reviews show **Anonymous candidate**.

### How many reviews can I pin?

Up to 3.

### Can I stop asking candidates for reviews?

Yes, for each job, in the **Candidate review email settings**. Turning them off depends on your plan.

### Where can I see pricing and plan details?

Pinning, responding, seeing who left a review, and turning off the emails depend on your plan. See [dover.com/pricing](https://www.dover.com/pricing).
