You can add new candidates directly in Recruiting rather than asking candidates to create their own profile.
If you have the candidate's resume, you can upload it to automatically fill in the fields. You can then scroll through the required sections to ensure their information is complete. If the resume includes details that aren't required (for example, affiliations, certifications, languages, or military service), these details are imported into Recruiting and appear in the candidate's profile.
Role feature access: Recruiting > Recruiting > Candidate > Create Candidate
To add a candidate:
- Click Create from Recruiting > Candidate Management. Or, if you want to add a candidate for a particular job requisition, click Create in the Candidates tab for that requisition in Recruiting > Job Requisitions. The Create New Candidate screen appears.
- 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.
- Scroll through the following sections to add, review, and update the candidate’s required information: Personal Information, Education History, Employment History, and 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, the job requisition is already included in the requisition field.
- The Send to Vendor checkbox might also be available for you to send the candidate's records to external vendors. This checkbox requires the role feature Recruiting > Recruiting > Actions > Send to Vendor.
- 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 system creates the new candidate's record. The candidate is added to the assigned requisitions and to Candidate Management. Their details are available in their candidate profile.
