Steps

This knowledge article will show you how to create a candidate.

Important Note: When you create a candidate, you must generate a new password for the candidate and send an email to their personal email address with their username and password. If this doesn’t happen, the candidate will not be able to login to the system in order to accept their job offer.

1. Sign into HRMS using your single sign-on ID and password.

2. Click ‘Talent Acquisition’.

3. Click ‘Recruitment’.

4. Click ‘Recruiting’.

5. Select ‘More Actions’ under ‘Candidate Pools’ on the top menu.

6. Select ‘Create a new candidate’ or ‘Create a new candidate and submission’.

Note: Creating a new candidate will not add the candidate to a requisition. If you want to add the candidate to a specific requisition, please select ‘Create a new candidate and submission’.

7. If you selected ‘Create a general profile’, skip step 8. If you selected ‘Create a job-specific submission’, skip step 10.

11. Select whether you want to use the ‘Parse Resume’ option.

Note: If yes, click ‘Browse’ to upload the candidate’s resume, otherwise Skip.
