Candidate Actions for the Improved Recruiter Experience

- Improved Recruiter Experience -

The following actions are available in the Improved Recruiter Experience for general candidate profiles and job application profiles. They are also available in candidate lists for job requisitions, the Jobs Applied For tab in candidate profiles, and in Candidate Management. You can select multiple candidates from the candidate lists and perform these actions on all of them, as applicable.

Some of these actions are available only in job application profiles (that is, profiles that are associated with a job requisition), and not in general candidate profiles. Others might not be available because of your organization's configuration or your role feature access.
