10. If you are adding more than one candidate, select the Create Another checkbox before you save. The form stays open for your next entry.
11. Click Create to save the record, or Cancel to discard it.
After you click Create, Staffing Manager opens the new candidate’s profile page. From there you can track evaluations, attach more materials or record a hiring decision.
Tip
If you are filling several roles at once, select the Create Another checkbox to add all your applicants for a requisition in one sitting instead of reopening the form each time.
Required field: Only the candidate’s name is required to save a record. Add as much of the remaining information as you have on hand; you can always fill in details later from the candidate’s profile page.
