Overview of Adding Candidates to Talent Community

- Classic Recruiter Experience -

You can add candidates to Talent Community, so that you or other users can assign them to current or future job requisitions. With this functionality, you create the candidate profile for the candidate, without the candidate registering with the client careers site and applying for jobs themselves. This feature is especially useful for adding candidates who are sourced through walk-ins, career fairs or direct email solicitations to the recruiter. However, any candidate can be added.

This feature has the following attributes:

  • Candidates that recruiters add to Talent Community have the "Added through Talent Community" icon () next to their name in the following areas of Recruiting:
    • The search results of Talent Community.
    • The Indicators column in the Candidates tab for any job requisitions that recruiters assign them to.
    • Candidate profiles.
    • Recruiting also displays the "Candidate manually assigned to job requisition by recruiter" icon () to indicate that the candidate didn’t apply themselves.
  • With the exception of marking them with the "Added through Talent Community" icon, Recruiting treats candidates that recruiters add to Talent Community in the same way as those who apply for jobs themselves. For example, recruiters can update their status, contact them, view their profiles, screen them and hire them as normally.
  • Note: In the event of hiring, users are responsible to ensure that recruiter added candidates complete any compliance and screening questionnaires that might otherwise be completed when candidates apply for a job themselves.
  • However, unlike when a candidate registers with client careers site, when a recruiter creates a profile for a candidate, no confirmation email is sent to the candidate. Moreover, recruiter added candidates don’t receive automated messages about changes in their candidate status.
  • Candidates who recruiters have already added to Talent Community can still register with the client careers site and apply for jobs themselves. In this case, Recruiting creates a duplicate record for the candidate. Conversely, however, recruiters cannot add a candidate who has already registered with the client careers site.
