Custom Applications
When you create a role on Castifi, we automatically generate a shareable link that you can paste anywhere. This way, if your current database doesn’t have what you’re looking for, you can widely advertise the role without having to manually type out the job details again.
-
Preboarding Gallery
Easily filter applicants with our “Preboarding Gallery”. You can sort submissions by role, move applicants through rounds, and when ready, trigger an onboarding email prompting them to complete their profile and join your database.
-
Search Tools
Need to backfill a spot at the last minute? Our search module also allows you to find users based on their location, down to the mile. Face it, your odds of booking someone at 6am are a lot higher if they live 2 blocks from your set!
