# Recommended candidates for a job

When you create a new job you can get automatic recommendations for existing candidates that have applied to other jobs. This is done by clicking on the **Recommended candidates** tab at the [**Manage candidates for a job**](/manage-candidates/manage-job-candidates.md) screen, as shown below:

The screen is split in to panes: The left pane contains the filtering options and the right pane the candidate list that contains recommended candidates for the job, as shown below:
