Shortlist Candidates

You can create a shortlist of the top candidates for a job requisition.

- Improved Recruiter Experience -

In the Improved Recruiter Experience, go to the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions and select a candidate. From the candidate's profile, select Add to Shortlist from the action bar. The candidate now has "Shortlisted" below their name. Click the Shortlisted status button to see the shortlist of candidates. The button shows the number of these candidates.

To remove a candidate from the shortlist, click their name to go to their profile, and then select Remove from Shortlist from the action bar.

- Classic Recruiter Experience -

In the Classic Recruiter Experience, use the Shortlist Candidates column in the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions. The application displays the shortlist candidates column with the shortlisted icon () as the column heading:

The color of the icon next to each candidate’s name in the list indicates if the employee is included in the shortlist. If the icon is white with a blue outline (), it indicates that the candidate isn’t included in the shortlist. If the icon is solid blue () as in the column heading, it indicates that the candidate is included in the shortlist.

You can easily toggle the shortlist status for a candidate by clicking the shortlisted candidate icon next to their name.

You can also add or remove candidates from the shortlist in the candidate profile. To add a candidate to the shortlist, click Add to Shortlist option in the Actions list. Once the candidate is added, Dayforce replaces the Add to Shortlist option with the Remove from Shortlist option. You can select this option to remove the candidate from the shortlist, if needed.

You can filter the list in the Candidates tab to view only the candidates that were added to the shortlist for a job requisition. To filter for shortlisted candidates:

1. Go to the Candidates tab of Recruiting > Job Requisitions.
2. Click Filter to open the Filter panel.
3. Click Add Filter to open a list of available filter parameters.
4. Select the checkbox next to the Shortlisted filter parameter, and then click Update. The filter parameter is added in the Filter panel.
5. In the Filter panel, select the checkbox next to the Shortlisted filter parameter, and then click Apply Filter. Dayforce filters the list of candidates and shows only those that you added to the shortlist.
