Candidate Visibility in Candidate Management

In the Candidate Management features in Recruiting, the list of candidates that you have access to depends on the feature access your user role has. There are two options:

  • Recruiting > Recruiting > Candidates > All Candidates
  • Recruiting > Recruiting > Candidates

Which candidates you can see is determined as follows:

  • All Candidates access: You can see profiles of all candidates who applied for a job or who were added to the Recruiting feature by a recruiter. You can also view profiles of all employees who have a career profile configured in the Career > Overview tab of their profiles. You can only see work assignment details for the employees who you have organization hierarchy access to.
  • Candidates access (without All Candidates): You can only see the profiles for candidates who are assigned to a job requisition that meets one of the following criteria:
    • You're assigned as its hiring manager or recruiter.
    • One of your direct or indirect reports (up to two levels below you in the management hierarchy) is assigned as its hiring manager or recruiter.
    • You're one of its assigned additional users.
  • Only candidates who are in a status that is configured as "visible" in Recruiting Setup > Candidate Status are shown.
  • Neither Candidates nor All Candidates access: You can't see profiles for any candidates in Recruiting
  • If candidates deactivated their client career site accounts, they aren't listed in Candidate Management.
  • If employees were hired outside of the Recruiting feature or never applied for a job through the Careers feature, they might not appear in Recruiting. Dayforce only creates a candidate profile for these employees after they access the Career > Overview tab in Profile for the first time. Further, employees who were excluded from profile searches by an administrator or who opted out of profile searches in the Career > Overview tab of Profile don’t appear in Recruiting.
