New Action to Add and Remove Candidate Labels

As an administrator, you can automatically assign labels to candidates or remove them by using the new Add or Remove Candidate Labels action while configuring the candidate selection process. You can add the Add or Remove Candidate Labels action:

  • To a phase, when entering a phase
  • To a phase, when leaving a phase
  • To a specific state

When the candidate reaches the selected phase or state, the selected label is automatically assigned to the candidate if it doesn’t already exist, or it’s removed.

With this feature, you can now automatically add or remove labels when job applications navigate through different states and phases. This decreases the level of manual intervention to update candidate profiles.

Steps to Enable

You first need to create labels to tag candidates. For details, see Create Labels to Tag Candidates.

Let’s say you want to add the Premium Candidate label when top candidates leave the Interview and Selection phase.

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to:
  • Offering: Recruiting and Candidate Experience
  • Functional Area: Candidate Job Applications
  • Task: Candidate Selection Process Configuration
  1. On the Candidate Selection Process Configuration page, create a candidate selection process or edit an existing one.
  2. Click on the Interview and Selection phase.
  3. In the Phase Actions section, click When Leaving Phase > Add Action > Add or Remove Candidate Labels.
  4. On the Action: Add or Remove Candidate Labels page, in the Labels to Add section, add the label Premium Candidate.
  5. Click Continue.

Tips And Considerations

  • If a label is removed from the Manage Recruiting Labels configuration page, the label is also removed from the Add or Remove Candidate Labels selector.
  • When you define conditions for a candidate selection process, you can add fast formulas that will either add or remove candidate labels.
