Candidate Types and Instructions

Abstract

Product: Workbench

Manage Candidate Types and Instructions

• You can create candidate types that are tailored to your organization’s needs. Perhaps you consistently hire interns or support staff to the degree that warrants a special category candidate type.

• Standard candidate type names cannot be modified, inactivated, or deleted.

• Configurable candidate types cannot be inactivated or deleted, only modified.

• There is no limit to the number of configurable candidate types, but it is recommended that the number not exceed 200.

• Custom candidate types must have a unique name within the languages of your company’s BrassRing locales.

• Troubleshooting tip: When a user, in a newly created User Type, reports that the candidate Quick Search in BrassRing is not available, it is likely that their User Type does not have access to search candidates in any candidate type. To resolve, edit a candidate type and select the User Type in the Associate with these user types field.

• Build 19.07.15. For more information on configuring the Add Candidate Standalone Gateway Questionnaire, see Configure the Add Candidate Standalone Gateway Questionnaire.
