We make it easy to add candidates to any open job or your generic candidate pool with multiple options.
Follow these steps to add a candidate manually:
- In Recruiting, select Create a Candidate.
- Complete the required information fields. Required fields are marked with a star icon.
- The candidate should be linked to an active job or the generic candidate pool.
-
Notes:
- The Candidate Type and Candidate Sources fields help you determine where the candidate originated. They can be changed in a candidate's profile later if needed.
- The Profile/Web page field is required and becomes a normal field when a valid email address is entered for the candidate.
- If you have a resume, select Upload or drag and drop the file into this field.
- Note: If you select Parse, Recruiting automatically populates as many fields as possible. If the resume cannot be parsed, you must complete all required fields to create the candidate.
- Select Save. You can complete the process again to add as many candidates as needed.
- Note: Save and Clone allows you to keep the job and source information while adding many candidates.
