If a recruiter clicks the Request References button on the References section of theManage Applicant page: Applicant Data Tab, the system sends an email notification (HRS_UPDATE_REFERENCES) asking the applicant to provide updated references. The email notification contains a link to Candidate Gateway. The system also posts a Candidate Gateway notification, which appears on the My Notifications page.
Applicants can click the notification link to access the Applicant References page, where they can submit references.
Note: If a recruiter sends a reference request to an applicant who is not a registered user of Candidate Gateway, the email notification includes an auto-generated user name and password that enables the applicant to sign in, see the notification, and submit references. By using these system-generated logon credentials, the applicant ensures that the Candidate Gateway account is properly associated with the existing applicant record.
Applicants use the Applicant References page (HRS_CE_APP_REF) to review and update their professional and personal references.
