Assign Candidates to Job Requisitions (Improved Recruiter Experience)

- Improved Recruiter Experience -

To assign one or more candidates to job requisitions in the Improved Recruiter Experience:

1. Select the candidates and click Assign in the toolstrip from either of the following:  
   • In the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions. You can select multiple candidates to assign all at once.
   • In any candidate's profile.
2. The Assign to Requisition side panel shows the candidates that you selected. Click more if the list is long and you want to see all of them.
3. In the Choose Job Requisitions section, select the requisitions you want to assign to the candidates. You can select from any open requisitions available to you. Start typing to filter the list until you see the requisition that you want to select, then click it. You can select as many requisitions as you want.
4. By default, the Source field shows "original," which is the source that's already assigned to each candidate in their profile. You can update this selection to a different source, and that source is then used for all of the candidates you're assigning.
5. You might be asked to enter information about the source in the Additional Information field (if the field is shown). This field has no character limit.
5. If you've selected candidates from a job requisition, you can decide whether to keep them in that requisition:
   • Leave candidates in the original requisition: The selected candidates stay in the original job requisition and are also assigned to the new requisition.
   • Decline candidates from the original requisition: The selected candidates are removed from the original job requisition. Click Next to provide a decline reason and to choose whether to notify them.
6. Click Submit.
7. 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 appears in the Candidates tab of the requisition with the following details:

• The Candidate Type column shows "Assigned by recruiter."
• 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.
• If the job application that the candidate was assigned from included an uploaded resume, LinkedIn profile, or supporting documents, Recruiting displays the relevant documents in the Documents column.
• Assigned candidates begin with the New candidate status in the Status column.
• The Source column shows the source you defined when assigning the candidates, as well as any additional information that you added.
• The Modified By column shows your name.
• The Date Applied column indicates when you assigned the candidate to the requisition.
