Link Candidates (Classic Recruiter Experience)

- Classic Recruiter Experience -

To link a candidate profile to an existing employee record:

1. Do one of the following, depending on where you are in the Recruiting feature:
   • In the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions, select one or more external candidates from the list and click Link.
   • In the Candidate Profile for the external candidate that you want to link, click Link to Employee Record in the Actions list of the candidate information panel
2. Recruiting displays the Link Candidate window with the selected candidate's name at the top of the window:
3. 
4. If you selected more than one candidate from the list (which can be done only from the Candidates tab, and not the Candidate Profile window), Recruiting displays arrows next to the candidate's name that you can click to scroll through selected candidates.
2. With the name of the candidate that you want to link displayed at the top of the Link Candidate window ("Chris Mill" in the example above), click the Employee list and type all or part of their name or former employee number to search the list.
3. The list automatically filters results.
4. Note: If you try to link an internal candidate (that is, an employee), the list won't be enabled, because you can't link them to other employee records.
5. Important: When searching for candidates, the list search returns all employees that you have access to in Dayforce. For example, the list also contains active (that is, current) employees in the organization. Therefore, be certain that you are linking the candidate to the correct employee record. This is best done by typing the candidate's former employee number with the organization.
3. If more than one candidate is selected, use the arrows at the top of the Link Candidates window to scroll through them and then link them as well. The window saves your selection for each candidate.
4. Click Submit.
   • If you are linking to an inactive or former employee, and their names match, you don’t need to take any further action.
   • If you are linking to an active employee or the First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name fields for the candidate and employee don’t match, a confirmation dialog box opens. Click OK to proceed with the link or Cancel to go back.

When you complete a link, Recruiting displays a message at the bottom right of the screen to confirm the link.
