Submitting candidates to hiring managers

Permission Required

Only users with the Submit to Hiring Manager profile permission will have access to the submit icon. The Administrator and Standard user profiles will have this permission by default.

1. Navigate to the Candidates module and select the candidate you wish to submit.
   
2.  Click the Submit to Hiring Manager icon. 
   
   
3. Select a Department and a Job Opening and click Send.
   
   
4. The candidate will then be submitted to the Hiring Manager. You can track it from the Submissions sub-module.
   
   
5. You can also track the submission from the candidate record under Related List > Hiring Manager Submissions.
   
   

Note

1. To submit candidates is bulk, go to the Candidates module and select the candidates you wish to submit. Once you're done, click the Submit to Hiring Manager icon. The rest of the steps are similar to submitting candidates individually.
   
   
2. While submitting a candidate, you can only select templates created for the Candidates module.
   
3. If the email size exceeds 10MB, then the selected candidates will be split into two groups and sent as two separate emails. If any merge fields are used in the email template, the candidate details will be consolidated into a single email and sent to the hiring manager.
   
4. You cannot submit candidates to hiring managers who have enabled the Email Opt Out option.
   

Archived Submissions

1. Job Opening Closure: When a job opening is marked as "Closed," its associated submissions will be archived. This ensures that your active submissions are always relevant to your current job openings.
   
2. Candidate or Application Status Change: Submissions linked to candidates or applications that have been either "Hired" or "Disqualified" will be archived. This keeps your records focused on ongoing recruitment efforts.
   
3. Duplicate Submissions: If a new submission is made for the same candidate and job opening, the previous submission will be archived. This prevents redundancy in your submission records.
   
4. Candidate, Job Opening or Client Deletion: If either the associated candidate, job opening or client is deleted, their corresponding submissions will be archived to maintain data integrity.
   
5. Unassociation of Candidate & Job Opening: If the candidate is unassociated from the job opening they were submitted for, the related the submission will be archived. This helps you track the history of submissions accurately.
