Recruiting Subfeatures

Actions: Enables the ability to take actions in Recruiting.

  • Add Do Not Hire: Enables the Do Not Hire button in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions, and in profiles for candidates. This button allows recruiters and other authorized users to add a Do Not Hire flag to candidates who they’ve found unsuitable for the organization.
  • Applied Jobs Actions: Enables access to the action buttons in the Applied Jobs tab of profiles for candidates.
    • Decline Candidate: Enables the Decline Candidate button. This button allows users to decline candidates for specific jobs from the Applied Jobs tab of profiles for candidates.
    • Notes: Enables the Notes button. When clicked, Dayforce opens the Add/ View Notes dialog box in which users can record and view notes for specific job applications.
    • Update Status: Enables the Update Status drop-down list. Users can select an option in the drop-down list to update the status of the selected job applications.
  • Assign Candidates to Job Reqs: Enables the Assign button of Recruiting. Users select one or more candidates and click the Assign button to open a control where they can select one or more requisitions to assign candidates to.
  • When the Assign Candidates to Job Reqs role feature isn’t enabled, the Assign button is hidden.
  • The Assign Candidates to Job Reqs role feature only controls access to the Assign button, not to the requisitions that users can assign candidates to. Access to job requisitions is enabled using a combination of access authorizations and the hiring manager security / recruiter security feature. 
  • Background Screening Order: Enables the New Background Screening Order option in the Candidates tab and in profiles for candidates. This option allows users to create new background screening orders for candidates.
  • Bypass Candidate Status Mapping: Enables users to assign any candidate status that's configured for the job requisition's candidate status mapping. These statuses appear in the Status list of Recruiting > Job Requisitions. When enabled, the user isn’t required to follow the status progression order configured for the associated mapping in Recruiting Setup > Candidate Status Mapping.
    • Allow statuses outside of Candidate Status Mapping: When enabled, users with the Bypass Candidate Status Mapping feature see all system statuses in the Status list. They can assign any status from the system, without limitation.
  • Candidate Hire: Enables the Hire button in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions for hiring external candidates.
  • Once you or another administrator configures a candidate hire form, the system adds the name of the form as a subfeature below the Candidate Hire subfeature. You must assign the subfeature for each form to the necessary user roles.
  • Candidate Hire feature and sub-feature in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles.
    • Mass Hire Candidates: In the Classic Recruiter Experience, enables the Candidate Hire > Mass Hire Candidates option.
  • Candidate Offer Status: Enables the Change Status link in the Applied Jobs tab of profiles for candidates.
  • Users can click the Changes Status link to rescind the offer, update a candidate's response to an offer, or accept or reject the offer on behalf of the candidate.
  • If the Candidate Offer Status role feature isn’t enabled, the Change Status link is hidden from the Applied Jobs tab, and the user cannot change the status of the offer.
  • Note: The system only shows the Change Status link after it has sent the offer letter to the candidate.
  • Candidate Status Mapping - Allow Backwards Status Movement: Allows users to move candidates to a previously completed status in a candidate status mapping. Without this role feature, all previously completed statuses are disabled and users can only move candidates forward in the progression.
  • Decline Candidates: Enables access to the Decline button in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions. When the Decline Candidate role feature isn’t enabled, the Decline button is hidden.  
    • Mass Decline: In the Classic Recruiter Experience, enables the ability to decline multiple candidates at once in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions. When multiple candidates are selected, the Decline button turns into a list that includes the Mass Decline Candidates option. In addition, the Select Candidates to Decline dialog box appears when you update a job requisition to Filled, Closed, On Hold, or Canceled status and choose to close job postings.
  • Note: While declining a candidate is a job application status change, it has its own button and isn’t included in the Status drop-down list. Therefore, a role could have the ability to decline while at the same time not be allowed to make other status changes, or vice versa. Access to the Status drop-down list is controlled separately by the Status Changes on Candidates role feature.
  • Edit Candidate Source: Enables the edit button in the Source section of profiles for candidates, so that users can edit the candidate's job application source.
  • Note: In order to be able to edit candidate source, the user's role must also be assigned the Can Update permission of the Recruiting: Candidate Profile access authorization in the Authorizations tab of System Admin > Roles. See Configure Recruiting Access Authorizations.
  • Employee Profile Annual Salary: Enables access to pay information in the Employee Profile section of profiles for candidates in Recruiting.
  • When this role feature isn’t enabled, the Pay Information sub section is hidden.
  • I-9 Screening Order: Enables the New I-9 Screening option in the Candidates tab and in profiles for candidates. This option allows users to create new I-9 screening orders for candidates.
  • Internal Candidate Hire: Enables the Hire button in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions for hiring internal candidates.
  • Once you or another administrator configures an internal candidate hire form, the system adds the name of the form as a subfeature below the Internal Candidate Hire subfeature. You must assign the subfeature for the forms to the necessary user roles.
  • Internal candidate Hire feature and sub-feature in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles.
  • Link Candidate to Employee: Enables the Link button and linking functionality in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions, which allows users to link candidates to existing Dayforce employee records in the organization.
  • Offer Letter: Enables the Offer button in the Candidates tab of the requisition slide-out panel in Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
  • The Offer Letter role feature isn’t required for viewing offer status in the Applied Jobs tab of profiles for candidates of Recruiting.
  • However, users who aren’t assigned the Offer Letter role feature can’t view the offer letters that were sent to the candidate. When they click the Offer Letter link in this section, the system opens a blank offer letter form.
  • The ability to change offer status is controlled separately by the Candidate Offer Status role feature.
    • Allow Edit on Review Screen. Enables users to edit the subject line and message body of offer letters.
    • Create Workflow in Offer Letter: Enables access to workflows that allow users to define approvers in the Create/Edit Offer dialog box. When users select one of these workflows in the Select Workflow drop-down list, Dayforce displays the Workflow Approvers field in which users can define one or more approvers for the workflow.
    • When the Create Workflow in Offer Letter role feature isn’t enabled, users can only see standard workflows and not those that allow users to define approvers, even if their role has access to these workflows in Workflow Administration > Role Privileges.
    • Note: In order for users to see a workflow for defining approvers, their role must also have access to it via Workflow Administration > Role Privileges.
    • Offer Letter: Enables individual workflows in the Select Workflow drop-down list of the Create/Edit Offer dialog box (in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions). In order to submit an offer, a role needs to have access to at least one workflow.
    • For each workflow you configure for the offer letter, an individual Offer Letter subfeature is displayed under the Recruiting > Actions > Offer Letter subfeature. In the example below, there are two offer letter workflows configured.
    • Currently, the role features display Offer Letter for each workflow, and you won't be able to distinguish between different workflows in the Features tab of System Admin > Roles. (This is because each workflow is assigned to the same form.) Therefore, you should configure access to specific workflows in Workflow Administration > Role Privileges, where you can see the name of each workflow.
    • Note: This subfeature is only shown if you or another administrator has configured at least one offer letter workflow.
    • Send Mass Offer. Provides access to the mass offer letter feature. The Offer button becomes a list, with the following choices: Mass Offer Letter and Individual Offer Letter.
  • Remove Do Not Hire: Enables the Remove Do Not Hire button in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions, and in profiles for candidates. This button allows recruiters and other authorized users to remove the Do Not Hire flag for candidates.

  • Schedule Interview: Enables the Schedule Interview option in the Candidates tab and in job application profiles. This option allows you to schedule interviews between candidates and the users in your organization in the Recruiting feature. You can also cancel existing scheduled interviews for candidates, if needed.
    • Schedule Interview Without a Template: This feature is applicable if your organization uses Letter Management templates for interview requests. It enables the Continue Without a Template button in the Choose a template screen when you are scheduling an interview with a candidate. You can use this button to bypass picking a template and instead use the default interview scheduling functionality.
  • Send Assessment: Enables the Send Assessment option in the Screen drop-down list in the Candidates tab, and in profiles for candidates under Screen Candidate in the Actions menu. This option allows you to send assessments for job requisitions configured to use the Post Application Email - Manual delivery method for assessments. For requisitions configured to use the Post Application Email - Automatic delivery method, Dayforce displays the Resend Assessment option instead of Send Assessment.
