This article is for administrators.

 

Important Considerations

  • This is a copy and paste process, not a cut and paste process.
  • This process makes more than one record for the candidate.
  • Recruiting shows if you have more than one record for the same candidate with:
    • A yellow Info icon next to the candidate's name.
    • At the bottom of the resume, other candidate records are shown, and a message says: This candidate is a possible duplicate.
Shows a possible duplicate
  • If you are not considering the candidate for the first job they applied to, make the candidate inactive and choose Routed to Another Position as your reason.
  • After you make the first candidate record inactive, you can use the second record for the new job as needed.

Steps to Assign a Candidate to Another Job

  1. Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. You see your Recruiting dashboard with active jobs. 
  2. Go to the candidate's record. 
  3. Next to the candidate's name, click the Info icon .
  4. Click Assign to Job, and locate the job you want to assign the candidate to. Use filters if needed.

Shows the candidate record

  1. Click the >> symbol.

Note: In most cases, you want to keep the default settings.
