Object documentationCandidates

 

Candidates are resources that you want to designate for a particular role. They may include your personal preferences, a customer's preferences, or resources that the resource search found to be suitable but that you do not yet want to firmly book.

 

You can define your candidates in the system. You can enter a note for each of your candidates, such as any agreements reached by telephone, or if the resource has accepted but you still have to speak with the manager.

The candidates are always included in the results list of the resource search, regardless of your selection criteria or the suitability rate determined by the system.

You can directly assign your candidates to the project at any time, or remove them from the candidates list.

You can e-mail candidates to notify them of the project (see Notifying a Selected Resource by E-Mail).

When you have WFM Core running you can display the availability percentage for the candidate based on the period and the demand (see Workforce Deployment Server).
