Overview
This feature allows you to collect additional information from candidates already in the system. Admins, Staffing Users, Hiring Managers, and Executives assigned to a job can use this feature to request additional information from candidates.
How does it help?
- Simplify the application process: Start with a short application to improve your candidates' experience, boost application rates, and dramatically reduce drop-off rates. You can always request details from top candidates later!
- Collect applications from passive candidates: You can send an application even if candidates were manually entered into the system. Recruiting automatically associates their application with their existing profile.
- Collect voluntary EEO info: Even if you do not need a longer application, you can request EEO info from candidates who have fallen into a compliance gap.
How Do I Send an Information Request to a Candidate?
- Log in and go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. Your Recruiting dashboard appears.
- On the top, click Admin and select Users. A list of candidates appears.
- Click the candidate's name, and their details screen appears.
- At the top, click the blue Info icon next to the candidate's name. A popup appears.
- Click Info Request.
- Enter your message and click Send. A success banner appears.
