# Candidate Reports
### **Candidate Reports**
**Path:** [ESS Portal > Hire V2 > Reports > Candidate Reports](https://ess.pockethrms.com/Recruitment/RecruitmentV2Report/RecruitementV2CandidateReport)
The **Candidate Reports** page gives you a consolidated report of candidates in Recruitment V2, helping you track applicants across departments, jobs, recruiters, and locations in one place. You can view the report on screen or export it to Excel.
**Step 1:** Log in to the **ESS Portal**, open the **Hire V2** module, go to **Reports**, and select **Candidate** **Reports**.
**Step 2:** Decide what the report covers:
* **For one specific candidate** — enter the **Candidate name** and **Department**, **Creation Date Range** and **Joining Date Range**. All other filters are optional.
* **For a group of candidates** — enter a **Creation Date Range** and/or **Joining Date Range** to include everyone added or joining within those dates.
You can add the other filters — **Job Title, Notice Period (Days), Assigned Recruiter, Added By, and City,**to narrow the report further.
**Step 3:** Click **Generate Report** to view the report on screen, or **Export Excel** to download it as an Excel file.
**Generated Report:**
**past reports** appear under Recent History on the right, along with their date and time. Click on the **download icon** to download the excel file, or click on the **trash icon** to delete the generated report from recent history.
**Important Note:** Creation Date Range filters candidates by when they were added to the system, while Joining Date Range filters by their date of joining. Use whichever one fits what you are looking for.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.pockethrms.com/ess-portal/recruiter/hire-v2/report/candidate-reports.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
