Link Candidates (Improved Recruiter Experience)

- Improved Recruiter Experience -

To link an external candidate's profile to an existing employee record in the Improved Recruiter Experience:

1. Select the candidate, depending on where you are in the Recruiting feature:
   • In the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
   • In the list of candidates in Candidate Management.
   • In the candidate's profile.
2. Click Link in the toolstrip. Recruiting shows the Link Candidate Record side panel.
3. Note: This action isn't available for internal candidates or when multiple candidates are selected.
3. Start typing the former employee's name or number in the Search for Employee list. Click on them when you see their name.
4. 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 using the candidate's former employee number with the organization.
4. Click Link Record.
   • If you are linking to an inactive or former employee, and their names match, you don’t need to take any further action.
   • If the First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name fields for the candidate and employee don’t match, you will need to confirm the match in a confirmation dialog box. If you link these records and the candidate is hired later, the employee's record will be updated with the candidate's name.
   • Recruiting displays a message at the bottom right of the screen to confirm the link is completed.
