Use Information Requests to collect more details from candidates already in the system. Admins, Hiring Managers, and Executives assigned to a job can send these requests. This allows you to set up an initial, shorter application to draw in more applicants. You can then send a secondary application or Information Request to those you want to move forward with later to collect the additional details your company needs. 

This feature helps you gather the necessary details after a candidate applies for or is added to a job. 

Benefits 

• Simplify the application process  
  • Start with a short application. Request more details later from top candidates. This can increase applications and reduce drop-off. 
• Collect applications from passive candidates  
  • Send a request to candidates added to the system manually. The application and their response link to their existing profile. 
• Collect voluntary EEO information  
  • Request EEO details if needed to support compliance.
