Viewing and updating candidate information

Recruiters can view and update candidate profiles.

  1. Sign in as Recruiter and select Candidate Pool.
  2. Open the candidate record.
  3. On the At A Glance tab, indicate that you have reviewed the candidate questions. A check mark indicates that they have been reviewed and the date of the review. If the candidate has changed any answers since the last review date, the check box is automatically deselected. Specify this information:
    Point Of Origin
    Use this field to indicate the location from which a candidate who will travel would start. This field is different from the Location field. It is defined by the Administrator in Setup > Resource Components > Personal Information > Point Of Origin.
  4. In the Profile Question Results section, you can indicate whether you have reviewed the answers to the profile questions that you can read on the Profile Questions tab. If you indicate that you have reviewed the questions, you must specify the date that you reviewed them. Profile questions are required of all external candidates. External candidates can provide answers on the My Questions tab of the candidate profile or the job application. Answers are synchronized between the candidate profile and the job application if profile synchronization is enabled on the hiring workflow. See Configuring workflow details.
    Profile Question Results Reviewed
    This field becomes unchecked if the candidate changes any answers on a job application or on the My Questions tab (external candidates only) after you have reviewed them.
  5. In the Other Information section, specify this information:
    Application Limit

    This field is available only if the job board on which the candidate is registered is defined with an Application Limit value that limits the number of job applications candidate can submit. As a recruiter you can override this number for a specific candidate.

    This number applies only to the number of applications a candidate can personally submit from the job board. Recruiters can apply for jobs on behalf of candidates or request candidates to submit applications even if candidates have reached their limits.

    Limit Expiration

    If you want the application limit value that you specified to expire, select the expiration date in this field. If you select an expiration date, the application limit for this candidate will return to the job board application limit on the expiration date.

    Do Not Hire

    Select this check box if you want to flag this candidate as someone who should not be hired. If you select this candidate, you will be required to select a reason in the Reason field.

    If you select this check box, a red alarm is shown next to this candidate on the Candidate Search list as well as on lists for any process in the Requisitions process board. Pause over the alert to display the reason code.

    Reason

    If you select the Do Not Hire check box, you must select a reason. Do not hire reasons are defined by the Administrator in Code Setup > Do Not Hire Reasons.

  6. To view, select, or deselect tags that are appropriate for the candidate, select Tags and click the tag check boxes that are appropriate. You can use the Keyword field of the Candidate Search page to search candidates by tag name.
