needs decision means there's a structured activity in the stage (for example, a custom review application activity) and action is required, while in stage since is when a candidate is in a stage that doesn't have a structured activity, so a call to action isn't required if you are using the default review application activity in the application review stage of your interview plan, this is not seen as a structured activity if you opt to add a custom review application activity, this is seen as a structured activity when using bulk application review, which resume will i see?
