Overview
This feature lets you collect additional information from candidates who are already on your candidate list. Admins, Staffing Users, Hiring Managers, and Executives assigned to a job can use it to ask candidates for more details.
How does it help?
- Simplify the application process: Start with a short application to improve the candidate experience, boost application rates, and dramatically cut drop-off rates. You can always request details from top candidates later!
- Collect applications from passive candidates: You can send an application even if the candidate was manually entered into Paycor. Recruiting automatically links each application to the matching profile they already have.
- Collect voluntary EEO information: Even if you do not need a longer application, you can request EEO information from candidates who have fallen into a compliance gap.
Send an information request to a candidate
- Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. The Recruiting window opens with a list of active job positions.
- Select the job position and then select the name of the candidate.
- Select the information icon next to candidate name. A Candidate Info window opens.
- Select Info Request.
- Enter your message in the Info Request window and select Send. A success banner pops up on your screen.
