Understanding How to Attach a Candidate Record to a Requisition

When you determine that a candidate might be suitable to fill a vacancy, you can attach the candidate record to the requisition. Attaching candidate records to a requisition simplifies the process of tracking the status of each candidate as you interview and evaluate candidates for the vacancy.

After you attach candidate records to a requisition, you can easily review the status of all of the candidates who are being considered for a requisition. You can limit the review to include only applicants, only employees, or both applicants and employees. For applicants, you can further limit the search to include only those with a specific applicant status, such as applicants who have passed the tests that are required for employment with the organization.

You can also update the candidate requisition status as necessary. For example, when you decide that a candidate is not suitable for the vacancy, you can reject the candidate.

When you are ready to fill a requisition, you hire an applicant or assign an employee to the requisition. The system automatically changes the candidate status to indicate that the candidate has filled the requisition.
