Allow Candidates with Withdrawn Job Applications to Reapply

You can allow external and internal candidates to reapply to job requisitions when they've a withdrawn job application on a requisition.

When candidates have a withdrawn job application that's in any phase before the Offer phase, they can submit a new job application. Information from their candidate profile, like personal and contact info and content sections, will be prefilled in the application flow. However the candidate will need to answer prescreening questions again. The new job application will start at the beginning of the candidate selection process and the candidate will have to go back through any configured request information flows. The new job application and all withdrawn job applications will display a message on the Details tab informing the user that this candidate has previously applied to the requisition. Recruiting users can access the candidate's withdrawn job application from the job application's Activity tab and by filtering the list of job applications to see withdrawn job applications.

Tips:

• Candidates can reapply to a job requisition when they use the Withdraw action in candidate self-service and when the job application was withdrawn on their behalf by a recruiting user.
• Withdrawn job applications appear in the candidate's list of inactive job applications in candidate self-service.
• Candidates can no longer reapply once they've a job application that has reached the Offer phase.
• Once a candidate has reapplied to a requisition, their withdrawn job application can no longer return to its prior state. The Return to Prior State action becomes disabled.
• Recruiting users can access the candidate's withdrawn job application from the new job application's Activity tab and by filtering the list of job applications to see withdrawn job applications.
• Content like interview feedback, scheduled interviews, prescreening and disqualification questions, conditional questionnaires included in request info flows, is retained on the withdrawn job application but not copied over to the new job application.
• Referral information, including referred icon, referrer and endorsement info, is copied over to the new job application.
  • The referred icon and referral details are no longer displayed on the withdrawn job applications.
  • The referral source information should still be available on the withdrawn job applications.
