Personal Information

The Personal Information section of general candidate profiles and job application profiles includes the full name of the candidate, their contact information, and mailing address. This information is populated for internal and external candidates as described in the table below.

This section is read-only for internal candidates. If you have the necessary access, you can edit the details displayed in the Personal Information section for external candidates. See Update Profile Information for Candidates in Recruiting.

Information populated for internal and external candidates
Type of Candidate	Data Source
Internal	Data is populated in each type of profile as follows: Candidate Profiles: Populated from the candidate's employee profile (that is, from the People and Profile features). Job Application Profiles: Populated from the Personal Information section of the candidate's job application.
External	Data is populated in each type of profile as follows: Candidate Profiles: Populated from the Personal Information section of the candidate's client career site profile, or from the candidate's job application if no client career site profile is available. Job Application Profiles: Populated from the Personal Information section of the candidate's job application. Note: If an external candidate submits a job application with personal information (such as address) that is different from what is saved in their existing profiles in Recruiting, Dayforce updates all existing profiles with the new personal information automatically. This ensures that the personal information in each profile is up to date.

Email Address Updates

The email address is also populated according to the candidate type:

Email address populated for internal and external candidates
Type of Candidate	Displayed Email
Internal	Dayforce displays the email address configured in the employee's profile. This email address cannot be modified in Recruiting.
External	Dayforce displays the email address that the candidate used to create an account on your client career site. This email address is used to: Send candidates notifications. Send candidates a message when you select Contact > Send Email in the Candidates tab. If needed, you can edit this email address for the candidate in their profile. However, the candidate will still have to use the original email address when signing into their client career site account. Note: If you edit the profile to use an email address that's already associated with another candidate, Dayforce displays a dialog box in which you must confirm that you want to use the same email address for multiple candidates. Although you can edit a candidate's profile to use the same email address as another candidate, the email address used to register the candidate on your client career sites or in Recruiting > Talent Community must be unique.
