The personnel administrator regularly checks the applicants who are ‘In process ’ or ‘ On hold ’ . This person decides whether the applicants in question are still of interest to the company. The applicant pool contains all applicants who have the status ' On hold'.

1. Determine what your workforce requirements are. Evaluate the vacancies that need to be filled.
2. Acquire an overview of the applicants who have the overall status On hold.
3. Determine the applicants you want to include in either the global selection procedure or the selection procedure for a specific vacancy.
4. Assign the applicants who you consider suitable to the relevant vacancies.

• You want to include applicants from the applicant pool in the global selection procedure and therefore set the status of these applicants to In process. You can now continue with Personnel Selection. In this process, you assign applicants to suitable vacancies by maintaining the relevant vacancy assignments.
• You want to include applicants in the selection procedure for specific vacancies and assign the suitable applicants to the relevant vacancies. You can assign an applicant directly from the applicant pool to a vacancy.
• You decide to reject an applicant. You can now continue with Rejecting an Applicant.
