Working with Candidates
Introduction
Candidates play a very important role in an organization's Recruitment process. Sourcing candidates and managing them are the initial stages in the recruitment process. Candidates can be obtained through job boards, career website pages, source boosters, email campaigns etc. Once the candidates are sourced, it is essential to manage them and follow them up until the candidates qualify to prospective hires. The recruitment department's approach in managing candidates can significantly impact the success of an organization.
The terminology related to candidate management may differ across industries, but the basic process remains the same. The Candidate module in Zoho Recruit helps you manage your candidates. In Zoho Recruit, candidate details contain a combination of company (client), person (contact), and business opportunity (job opening), depending on your ATS requirement.
