Questions from institutions.

What happens to candidates we didn't hire?

They stay in your talent network, visible to other departments and ready for the next role. The candidate record, portfolio included, persists after the role closes. The next opening doesn't start from a blank inbox.

How is this different from an ATS or LinkedIn?

Candidates own and update their portfolio profile on Artsume, so their work stays current without you chasing an updated CV. Artsume was built for portfolio-first arts roles from the start. And candidates use it for their own careers, so the talent layer stays fresh between openings.

How do I review applications with portfolios?

Resume, portfolio and cover letter sit side by side, so you compare candidates without downloading files or switching tabs.

Can my team collaborate on hiring decisions?

Yes. Invite team members to review applications, leave comments, and track candidates through your hiring pipeline. Keep all hiring discussions in one place.

Do applicants need an Artsume profile to apply?

Applicants can apply with their existing Artsume profile (portfolio, CV, and all) or create one during the application process. Either way, you get complete, consistent applications.

How do I manage candidates through the hiring process?

Move candidates through customizable stages: review, phone screen, interview, offer. Track where everyone is and keep every promising candidate in view.

What types of positions can I post?

Full-time, part-time, contract, freelance, or internship. Configure compensation details, benefits and remote availability, all in one listing.

Can we reach a strong runner-up when the next role opens?

Yes. Every candidate you considered stays on your record, so the next role starts from people your team already rated.

What happens to candidate portfolios when a hiring manager leaves?

They stay. The work sits on the candidate's own profile, and your record of that candidate belongs to the organization.

Still have a question?

Run your programs, review applications, and keep every relationship in one place.
