Assign Candidates to Job Requisitions (Classic Recruiter Experience)

- Classic Recruiter Experience -

To assign candidates to job requisitions in the Classic Recruiter Experience:

  1. Do one of the following, depending on where you are in the Recruiting feature:
    • In the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions, select one or more candidates from the list, and click Assign in the toolstrip.
    • In Talent Community, select one or more candidates from the search results and click Assign in the toolstrip.
    • Note: The ability to assign candidates to job requisitions is also incorporated as a step in the guided process for adding new candidates to Talent Community. See Overview of Adding Candidates to Talent Community.
    • In the candidate profile opened from the Job Requisitions or Talent Community tabs of Recruiting, click Assign to Requisition in the Actions list.
  2. Regardless of where you access the Assign feature from, Recruiting opens the Assign Candidates window, which, by default, lists all job requisitions that have an Open status. It is similar to the main job requisition list but has fewer columns.
  3. You can click Filter at the top of the list to sort requisitions by the following criteria: ID, Job Requisition Title, Location, and Status.
  4. Note: See Filter the Job Requisition List.
  5. By default, the Source field is populated with Recruiter but you can update the selection in its drop-down list. This list includes standard sources as well as sources added by your administrator.
  6. Enter information about the source in the Additional Information field (if the field is displayed). There is no character limit.
  7. Note: Standard sources require this information. Custom sources added by your administrator might or might not require it. Some custom sources might hide the field if the information isn’t applicable.
  8. Select one or more requisitions from the list. You can press and hold the Ctrl key to select more than one requisition.
  9. Click Assign.
  10. Recruiting displays a message at the bottom right of the screen to confirm the assignment.

After you assign a candidate to a requisition, the candidate is displayed in the Candidates tab of the requisition with the following details:

  • The Indicators column displays the "Candidate manually assigned to job requisition by recruiter" icon ().
  • If the job application that the candidate was assigned from included an uploaded resume, LinkedIn profile, or supporting documents, Recruiting displays the relevant icons in the Documents column.
  • The candidate profile from the job application that the candidate was assigned from is copied over to the new job requisition, including the candidate's resume and other supporting documents.
  • Important: Questionnaires associated with the candidate’s original job application aren't copied over when you assign them to a new job requisition. This is because each job posting uses an application template that was created specifically for that posting, and the questions and scoring from the original application don’t directly apply to the newly assigned job requisition. Candidates can have multiple questionnaires attached to their profile, but only the questionnaires for the specific job requisition are displayed. See Add Questionnaire Sections.
  • Assigned candidates begin with the New candidate status in the Status column.
  • The Source column displays the source you defined when assigning the candidate, as well as any additional information that you added.
  • The Modified by column displays your name.
  • The Applied Date column indicates when you assigned the candidate to the requisition.
