Applications & interview stages
Applicant tracking portal
An applicant tracking portal is where candidates apply through a public form, recruiters move each one through interview stages on a board, and interviewers file their scores on the candidate's record.
Pattern: RequestsDescribe it to Pory
“We're hiring for a few roles. Candidates should apply on a public page, recruiters move them through screening and interviews, and each interviewer adds a score and notes.”

What is an applicant tracking portal?
An applicant tracking portal is where candidates apply through a public form, recruiters move each one through interview stages on a board, and interviewers file their scores on the candidate's record. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (recruiter and interviewer) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited candidates.
What it does
Candidates apply on a public page with their CV attached
Applications came in through a jobs inbox, LinkedIn messages and the occasional CV handed to reception. In Pory candidates fill in one public form — the role, their email, why they want it, and their CV — without making an account. Each application lands in the Applied column, and nobody forwards CVs around with "thoughts?" any more.
Public pages & formsDone by: Recruiter
Recruiters drag candidates from phone screen to offer on one board
Knowing who was at which stage meant a spreadsheet with colour-coded rows and a recruiter's memory for the rest. In Pory each candidate is a card in Applied, Phone screen, Interview, Offer or Rejected, and the recruiter drags it along after each conversation. Hiring managers stop asking where their shortlist has got to.
Board by statusDone by: Recruiter
Interviewers log a score and notes on the candidate, not in Slack
Interview feedback trickled in by Slack message days later, if at all, and half of it was "seemed good". In Pory each interviewer sees the candidates assigned to them and files a scorecard with a 1–5 score, a recommendation and notes, linked to the candidate. The recruiter opens the candidate and reads each scorecard in one place.

The parts every portal is built from
Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.
Collect
Forms
Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.
Public pages
An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.
Self sign-up
People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.
File attachments
Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.
Decide
Approve / reject with a reason
Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.
Status tracker
“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.
Board by status
Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.
Checklists
Task lists ticked off per record, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.
Assign to a person
Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.
Notes & scores
A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.
Reminders by date
Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.
Share
Tables
Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.
People directory
Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.
Calendar
Records on a month or week view, by date.
Gallery & image grid
Records as cards or photos.
Record pop-up & linked records
A shareable pop-up with a record's details and what's linked to it. Edit, change status, or add a linked record from there.
Notices & info pages
Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.
Counts, totals & averages
Live figures over the rows a viewer is allowed to read.
Control
Role & row access
Own, assigned, managed, and team rows; hidden fields per role. Generated from your description, not configured field by field.
No-Password Doors
A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.
Your brand
Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
On purpose
Four things Pory won’t do
A portal runs a program, a service, or a process. These jobs belong to tools built for them, and Pory keeps the records around them instead.
Take payments
Pory tracks who owes what and who has paid. It doesn't collect the money — keep your payment tool for that.
Book time slots
Availability, capacity, time zones, and reschedules are a whole product. Pory holds what happens after the booking.
Host the conversation
No feeds, threads, likes, or polls. A note on a record, yes; a forum, no. Where members talk is another tool's job.
Plan routes
Pory keeps the service record, not the map.
