# Why are filtered results not matching with the expected candidates?

The **All view** shows candidates across every step in a workflow and supports **step-level status filters**. Since these filters reflect a candidate’s **current step and current status only**, misunderstandings around filter scope or status behavior can lead to unexpected results.

## 🔎 Troubleshooting Common Issues

| **What might be wrong**                     | **How to fix it**                                                                                                 |
| :------------------------------------------ | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Incorrect workflow step selected in filters | Verify that the selected **step** matches where the candidate is currently placed in the workflow.                |
| Step-level status misunderstood             | Ensure the selected **status belongs to the chosen step**. Status options vary by step (assessment vs interview). |
| Candidate has moved to another step         | Check the candidate timeline to confirm they haven’t progressed to a different step after filtering.              |
| Multiple step filters applied together      | Remove extra step selections and apply filters for **one step at a time** to validate results.                    |
| Expecting historical statuses               | All view filters show **current status only**, not past or previous step statuses.                                |
| Recently updated candidate status           | Refresh the page and reapply filters to ensure the latest status is reflected.                                    |
| Filters not reset from previous search      | Use **Reset/Clear filters** before applying a new filter combination.                                             |
| Expecting Screening-only behavior           | All view filtering logic differs from Screening step filters. Use step-specific views if needed.                  |

  ### Additional Tips

  * **Validate candidate location first**

    Search for the candidate by name and confirm their **current step and status** before applying filters.
  * **Apply filters incrementally**

    Start with a step filter, then add status filters to narrow down results gradually.
  * **Understand step-specific statuses**

    Interview steps focus on scheduling and attendance (Scheduled, No show, Completed), while assessment steps focus on progress and evaluation (Invited, In progress, Evaluated).
  * **Refresh after bulk actions**

    If candidates were recently moved, evaluated, or scheduled in bulk, refresh the All view before filtering.
