When to Create Candidate Profiles and Submissions

You can create a general profile for a candidate to quickly capture candidate information. There are various reasons why you may have to create a candidate profile. For example, you received a candidate's resume by email and you want to create a general profile from scratch. You can also create a candidate submission for a requisition.

There are three contexts where you can create a candidate profile and candidate submission.

• After searching for candidates, you can create a candidate profile using the Create New Candidate option in the More Actions menu. You’re offered to create just a candidate profile or a candidate profile and submission.

• In the Submissions menu, you can create a candidate profile using the Create New Candidate option in the More Actions menu. You’re offered to create just a candidate profile or a candidate profile and submission.

• In the Requisitions menu, when you’re viewing submissions for a requisition, you’re offered to create just a candidate profile, create a candidate profile and submission for the current requisition, and create a candidate profile and submission for another requisition.

Note: When you creating a candidate profile or submission, the form presented doesn't take into consideration security level permissions in view and edit modes. You will be able to input data into all the fields no matter the security level permissions granted or the security level set for the fields.
