How Do I Send Information Requests in Recruiting?

Explains how to handle Information Requests

This article is for administrators.

 

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?

  1. Log in and go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. Your Recruiting dashboard appears. Shows the left nav as described
  2. On the top, click Admin and select Users. A list of candidates appears. 
  3. Click the candidate's name, and their details screen appears. Shows the candidate details and info request tab
  4. At the top, click the blue Info icon next to the candidate's name. A popup appears.
  5. Click Info Request.
  6. Enter your message and click Send. A success banner appears.
