Link Candidates to Their Former Employee Record

You can link external candidates (that is, non-employees) who have previously worked with an organization to their former employee record.

Once a candidate is linked to their previous employee record, you can view details such as work assignment, last rate or salary before termination, and the termination reason. These details are in the Employee Profile section of the candidate's profile.

The candidate linking feature is especially useful for organizations that rehire former employees seasonally. In most cases, recruiters would already be aware that the candidate is a former employee before linking them to their previous employee record.

To identify candidates as former employees, you can include a screening question in the job application. If candidates confirm that they are a former employee, the recruiter can link their records.
