Consider Candidates for a Job

Here's how you can consider candidates for a job. This will be useful for new users getting started on the system.

In the Potential Matches tab of your job, you can consider candidates by selecting the tick box to the left of their name and clicking the tick icon on the right of the page, or the Consider button at the bottom. This will move the candidate into the Considering list of the job. 

Once a candidate has been considered it is not possible to un-mark them for consideration, instead you should 'not progress' them. 

To remove candidates from the Potential matches tab simply select the X on the right-hand side of the row.

Candidates can be considered or removed in bulk by selecting more than one at a time. 

You can also manually add candidates to your Considering list by typing their name into the 'Add a Candidate' field at the top left of the Considering tab.

Clicking the tick box beside a candidate will prompt Email, SMS, Not Progressing and Remove actions to appear. You can perform any of these actions for individual candidates, or bulk actions for 2 or more candidates

You can also manage your candidates based on their suitability. If you click on the Suitability Flag, you can assign a flag with the following priorities:

When candidates are assigned a flag, they'll be ordered in the following priority: Unranked (Grey), Suitable (Green), Maybe (Yellow) and Unsuitable (Red).

If a candidate is considered via an advert, the flag will be set to unranked. If a candidate is not progressed their flag status will be set to Unsuitable and they'll move to the bottom of the list.

Once candidates are sorted by Suitability, the most recently updated will always be at the top. This order is set when you refresh or revisit the list.

You can also view or add a candidate notes by clicking on the Speech Bubble icon as shown below.

Once you've got some suitable candidates considering, you can use the buttons across the bottom of the page to set up Recruiter Interviews, Employer Interviews, Send CVs or Offer a candidate.

Candidates can also be considered onto a job via a candidates record, a candidate search or an advert.
