External candidates don’t need to register for an account to apply for a job. Instead, when they click Apply for a job posting, they can then click Apply without an Account.
Before You Begin: This feature is enabled by default. To remove it, use Enable Application without an Account in Recruiting Setup > Client Properties.
When candidates apply without registering, they must still provide the following information:
- Their agreement to the company privacy statement, if configured.
- Their consent to receive or opt out of SMS messages.
- All required information, including their email address. They can choose to fill in these details by importing their resume.
- Agreement to the candidate acknowledgment statement before they submit the application.
- A completed CAPTCHA image when applicable.
Unregistered candidates can't do activities such as the following, which require registration:
- Keep profiles for reuse.
- Save drafts of their applications. They can’t see these applications even if they register later using the same email address.
- Track the status of their applications.
- Save jobs and job searches.
- Access recommended jobs.
Deleting Applications without Registration
Unregistered candidates receive a reference number when they submit their job application. This number is shown in a confirmation message and provided in an email. They need this number if they want to delete the application later. They can delete their applications from links provided in the email and in the footer of the career website.
Each job application has a unique reference number, so these candidates must request deletion for each of their job applications.
