View Candidate Notes

You view candidate notes in the Add/View Notes dialog box, which you can access in any of the following ways:

  • In candidate lists, select one or more candidate, and then click Notes in the toolstrip.
  • Note: If you select multiple candidates, the Add/View Notes dialog box opens with the names of the selected candidates listed at the top. When you add a note, it is saved to each candidate’s record. When you select multiple candidates, Dayforce doesn't display the existing individual notes for the candidates.
  • For the Improved Recruiter Experience, look in the Notes column of candidate lists. Click the links in this column to use the Add/View Notes dialog box. The link names vary. If there are notes on the candidate already, the link is View notes. If there are no notes, the link is Add notes.
  • For the Improved Recruiter Experience, go to the candidate profile and click the Notes action to go to the Add/View Notes dialog box.
  • For the Classic Recruiter Experience, click the notes indicator In candidate lists and in candidate profiles:
