Create a Job Application on Behalf of the Candidate

You can create a job application on behalf of a candidate when you want to skip the prospect process and not wait for the candidate to submit their application for a job.

You can create a job application of behalf of a candidate from the Candidate Search page, from within a candidate pool, or from a prospect list or job application list on another job requisition.

When you create a job application on behalf of an external candidate, the prescreening questionnaire is automatically filled. When a question from a prescreening questionnaire has been answered before, the latest answer to the question is retrieved and added to the job application. This applies to both external and internal candidates as long as all required questions have been answered. It also applies to all types of questions: disqualification questions, prescreening questions added automatically and manually.

When you create a job application on behalf of an external candidate, only the Talent Profile content sections included in the application flow are copied from the candidate profile. Talent Profile content sections configured in request information flows aren't copied from the candidate profile. It’s expected that external candidates would enter the data in the request information flows themselves. Recruiting users who have the privilege Update Candidate Job Application (IRC_UPDATE_CANDIDATE_JOB_APPLICATION_DATA) could also supply request information data on behalf of candidates after the job application has been created. For internal candidates, all Talent Profile sections that Recruiting is subscribed to are copied from their candidate profile.
