Take Action on Many Candidate Job Applications at Once

You can take actions in a batch to save time while evaluating candidates for a job requisition.

When you're in the job applications list, use the check box at the top of the list to select dozens or hundreds of candidates, even those not shown on the list. You can remove any unwanted applications by clearing the check box for any rows. Then choose an action in the Actions menu. For example, you may want to send an email message to all of them, or add them to another requisition or to a pool.

When you select fewer than 50 job applications, either by clicking the check box on each row or the check box at the top of the job applications list, the action proceeds as usual. When you select more than 50 job applications, the action will proceed as soon as possible, but you won't have to wait for it to complete. Here's what happens:

  • For actions that don't require any further information, a process will start running on that batch of candidates.

  • For actions that require further information, the usual page will gather the information necessary for you to complete the action. At the top of this page, the number of candidates and the filters describing the list (but not the candidate names) are shown. As soon as you complete this page, a process will start running on that batch of candidates.

You're able to continue your work immediately and you receive an email when the process is completed. This email informs you that the action was successful for the number of candidates. You can also view which job applications were skipped or failed for any reason.
