Add Candidates to Talent Community

- Classic Recruiter Experience -

To add a candidate to the Talent Community:

1. Go to Recruiting > Talent Community.
2. Click New Candidate. The New Candidate wizard opens.
3. Note: The user experience in this window is very similar to the job application for candidates. However, while job applications are configurable, the sections in this window are preconfigured.
3. Click Upload Resume or Create Your Resume, depending on how you want to add the information from the candidate's resume.
4. In the Personal Information tab, do the following:
   • Enter the candidate's personal and contact information.
   • Important: The email address that you enter for the candidate must be unique. Recruiting prevents you from continuing past the Personal Information section if the email you enter is already on file (that is, if a candidate has already registered with the same email address).
   • In the Candidate Source field, select the source for the candidate. By default, the Source field is populated with the Recruiter option, however, you can select a different source.
   • Note:
   • Source is only saved when a Candidate is assigned to a requisition. If you add a candidate without assigning them to a requisition, the source information isn’t saved. This means that when you or another recruiter assigns the candidate to a requisition at a future time, the source is preconfigured as Recruiter, instead of the source you defined above.
   • When adding a candidate in Recruiting > Talent Community without assigning them to a specific requisition, be sure to include any additional information about source by adding notes or tags to the profile, so that it can be referred to at a later time.

     • Candidate Notes
   • If the Please provide additional details field is enabled for the Candidate Source, describe the source of the candidate in more detail. For example, if you select Educational Institution in the Candidate Source drop-down list, enter the name of the institution where you found the candidate.
   • Note: All of the preconfigured sources require you to add additional information. However, administrators can create custom sources for which the Please provide additional details field isn’t required.
5. Click Next. Depending on which application option you selected, Recruiting displays one of the following screens in which you can add information for the candidate:
   • For the Upload Resume option, Recruiting displays a section for uploading a file or pasting a resume into a text editor.
   • For the Create Your Resume option, Recruiting displays sections for adding employment and education history.
6. See Add Candidate Information.
6. Click Next.
7. Recruiting displays a section in which you can add one or more tags to the candidate's profile.
8. Note: Tags are a useful way to group and keep track of candidates who might be suitable for future roles with the organization. See Candidate Tags.
7. Click Next. Recruiting displays a section where you can assign the candidate to one or more job requisitions.
8. Note: Assigning the candidate to a job requisition is optional. Not assigning the candidate means that their profile will remain in Talent Community, where users can still assign them to job requisitions at a future time. See Assign Candidates to Job Requisitions.
8. Click Finish.
