Candidacy 

Definition

Assignment between a Requisition and a Candidate.

The term Assignment is used on the user interface instead of the term Candidacy.

Use

The system creates a candidacy to create a link between a candidate and a requisition.

The system creates a candidacy for the following processes:

·        You include a candidate in the Favorites list of a requisition.

·        A candidate submits an application. A candidacy (original candidacy) is created at the same time as the application.

·        You enter the paper application of a candidate using the Application Entry function.

·        Based on an application, you identify other requisitions for which the candidate can be considered. The system depicts this by creating a candidacy.

Most of the activities in the Recruitment activity category that are performed for a candidate are stored in the respective candidacy. However, the acknowledgement or rejection of an application is stored in the application, for example.

Status

The status of a candidacy can have the following specifications:

·        In Process (A final decision has not yet been made.)

·        Withdrawn (The candidate withdrew the application.)

·        Rejected (The candidate is unsuitable for the relevant requisition, but may be suitable for other requisitions.)

·        To Be Hired (The candidate is suitable for the requisition and is to be hired.)
