Create Custom Candidate Hire Forms

Creating a custom Candidate Hire form involves creating a copy of the default (that is, system) candidate hire form and using this copy as a template to create the custom form. You do this in Workflow Administration > Form Builder. When you create a custom form, the text field in the XML tab of the form builder is enabled for editing. This field displays the same XML code as the default candidate hire form:

Note: This section contains specific instructions on how to create a custom candidate hire form. For information on editing XML code, see Edit the XML Code of Custom Candidate Hire Forms.

Before you begin, note that when you create a copy of the default candidate hire form, you must not change the following parameters in your custom form:

• In the Properties tab, the Mode parameter of the custom form must always display the New option.
• In the Advanced tab, the Xml Form Type parameter of the custom form must always display "CandidateHireForm".

Important: Altering any of the above parameters in the custom form could cause the form to fail in Recruiting.

To create a custom Candidate Hire form:

1. Go to Workflow Administration > Form Builder.
2. Select the Candidate Hire form under System in the left-side panel.
3. Click Copy. Dayforce adds a copy of the form under Custom in the left-side panel and automatically selects it for editing.
4. In the Properties tab, enter a name for the form and update the value in the Reference Code column so that it’s different from the system form that it was copied from.
5. In the XML tab, edit the XML code of the custom form.
6. Click Save.
