Configuring the Candidate File Merge Feature

Recruiting Center users have the ability to combine several candidate files into one file.

When using the Check for Duplicate action, or when in a candidates list, or after performing a quick search or advanced search, Recruiting Center users can select from two to ten candidate files and merge them using the Merge Candidate Files icon. To verify if the selected candidate files are duplicate files, the system performs a duplicate check against a duplicate check condition created by the system administrator. Once the duplicate check is done, the system suggests a master candidate file by selecting the candidate file that contains the most up-to-date information or the candidate file that was first referred in the case of a referral.

The configuration of the candidate file merge feature consists of granting this user type permission.
