Improved the user experience for adding new candidates from the Improved Recruiter Experience. The new interface is more streamlined and intuitive. Adding all the candidate information in one panel saves you time and lets you scan ahead to make sure you have all the required information.   

You can now add new candidates for a job requisition directly in Recruiting > Job Requisitions from the Candidates tab, rather than needing to navigate elsewhere. You can still add candidates from Recruiting > Candidate Management, which now uses this new experience.  

In addition, you can now add candidate tags when creating new candidates. Previously, you had to add tags later.  

To add a new candidate in the Improved Recruiting Experience:  

  1. Click Create New from Recruiting > Candidate Management or from the Candidates tab of a job requisition in Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
  2. Upload the candidate’s resume to automatically fill in the fields with their information. Either drag and drop the resume or click Upload to browse for it. If you don’t have a resume, click Enter details myself to manually fill in the fields. 
  3. Scroll through the following sections to add, review, and update the candidate’s information: Personal Information, Education History, Employment History, Candidate Classification. Use the Candidate Classification section to tag the candidate with relevant attributes, assign them to a job requisition, or add them to a talent pool for future opportunities. If you’re adding the candidate from a job requisition, it's already included in the requisition field.  
  4. Click Submit at the bottom of the panel. The system tells you if the required fields have errors or are missing information. When you click Submit and all the required information is complete and correct, the candidate is added to the assigned requisitions and to Candidate Management.   

This new experience requires the role authorization Recruiting > Recruiting > Candidate > Create Candidate

The system still uses the original interface when you add candidates from Recruiting > Talent Community in the Classic Recruiter Experience.

Added the ability to filter by requisition ID when you’re assigning candidates to job requisitions in the Improved Recruiter Experience. Previously, you could only filter the requisitions by name in the Assign to Requisition side panel. Now, you can filter by either name or requisition ID, as needed.
