Getting started with Happlicant
Set up your Happlicant account in an afternoon: request the free trial, log in, then follow the six setup guides below in order, from your company profile to your first candidate applications.
Request your free trial and log in
You start with a 7-day free trial with full access and no credit card required. Request it on our trial page.
Fill in the request form: First name, Last name, Work email, Phone number, Website, and Number of recruiters.
Tick the box confirming you are a recruiter, then click Request my account.
We validate every new account before activation, so allow a few hours for your login credentials to arrive by email. Then log in at app.happlicant.com/auth/login and bookmark the page. A step-by-step onboarding guide appears in the bottom-right corner of the app: each step links to the relevant part of the app, and completed steps are checked off automatically.

Your setup order
Work through the guides in this order. The first three are one-time settings; the last three get your first live job running.
Set up your company profile — the name, logo, and currency that appear on client-facing pages and emails.
Invite your team members — who joins your account and what each access level can see.
Set up email sending and connect your mailbox — nothing sends to candidates or clients until this is done.
Add your first client — manually, with the LinkedIn Chrome extension, or by file import.
Create your first job — the required fields, the pipeline each job starts with, and how to share the application page.
Add candidates — manual entry, CSV bulk import, AI resume parsing, or saving from LinkedIn.
Your first application
Once your job is live, candidates apply through its public application page. Each application creates a candidate record automatically and places it in that job's Inbox stage, and you can also add existing candidates to the pipeline directly. Moving candidates between stages can trigger automated emails, so test with dummy candidates before using live data. If anything doesn't match what you see, email [email protected] or book a call and we'll walk you through it.
