# Notes and ratings for each candidate: AI Hiring Software

**Answer in brief:** Every move a candidate makes through the stages should leave a reason behind.


## Ratings and notes

The agent can add a note to an applicant, rate them from 1 to 5, or both.[1]

## Moves with a reason

Moving an applicant to another stage comes with a note, and the candidate is not told.[1]

## Why it matters

A written reason for each decision helps the next interviewer, and helps you answer a candidate who asks.
