      How to Suggest a Candidate

      The Suggest tool lets you highlight a strong candidate by recommending them to a colleague in your team. You can quickly share the profile, add context with a star rating, and notify your colleague in Firefish.

       

      Step 1: Review the Candidate

      • Open the candidate record you want to suggest.

      • Review their CV, notes, and activity to ensure they’re suitable for the colleague you have in mind.

      Step 2: Click Suggest

      • Select Task.

      • Click Suggest from the dropdown.

      Step 3: Choose a Colleague and Rate the Candidate

      • Select the colleague you want to suggest the candidate to.

      • Give the candidate a star rating out of five.

      • Add an optional note explaining why you’re recommending them.

      • Click Confirm Suggestion.

      What Happens Next

      • Your colleague will receive a notification in Firefish and a To Do item to review the suggested candidate.

      • The candidate record will show a history entry for transparency.

      Troubleshooting Tips

      • Can't see the Suggest button? Make sure you're viewing a candidate profile, and that your user role has permission to suggest.

      • Wrong person suggested? You can't edit a suggestion, but you can leave a note or make a new suggestion if needed.

      This feature supports collaboration between consultants by helping you share great candidates without sending emails or creating manual tasks.
