The External Candidates Control Their Profile Visibility client property, which is disabled by default, allows you to give candidates the option to hide the visibility of their profile so that they aren't included in recruiter searches.
When you enable this, candidates are given the choice to make their profile visible the next time they apply for a job:
They can update the setting later from their candidate profile, using the Do you want to be considered for jobs you haven't applied for? switch.
When candidates hide their profile's visibility, they won't appear in candidate searches in Recruiting, including in Candidate Management. Recruiters and managers who have access privileges to the jobs the candidates applied for will continue to see the other jobs they applied for. If you don’t enable this property, all candidates are searchable and they don’t see these visibility options.
When you enable this property, there is an additional option: Applicants can be assigned to other job requisitions even if they choose not to be searchable. If you click Yes for this option, those users with the appropriate access privileges who can see the candidate's application will be able to assign the candidate to other job requisitions regardless of whether the candidate opted to hide their visibility.
To configure the External Candidates Control Their Profile Visibility client property:
- Go to Recruiting Setup > Client Properties.
- Select the External Candidates Control Their Profile Visibility client property.
- Select one of the following options:
- Disable this feature: Disables the client property and removes the visibility option from candidates. This option is selected by default.
- Enable this feature: Enables the client property and displays the visibility options to candidates. When you click this option, you can then answer yes or no to Applicants can be assigned to other job requisitions even if they choose not to be searchable.
- Click Save.
