5. The
candidate
profile
Once you’re logged in, click on
“Candidates” in the main nav. You
can then search for a specific
candidate, or lists of candidates.
Click on any candidate name, and
you’ll see a candidate profile like
this.

6. Basic Info
- Candidate Details contains
email, phone numbers, etc.
- The cover letter and resume
are accessible, including any
original attachments
- Notes = internal GC
communications about the
candidate
- Messages = external
communications between GC
and the candidate

7. Workflow
- Workflow Status tells us
where the candidate is in the
process
- The button underneath
moves the candidate to the
next step
- The Skip To pulldown allows
us to move the candidate to a
non-sequential step (please
DO NOT use the pulldown – it
can mess up reporting and
cause confusion in the
recruiting ranks).

8. Communicating
via Jobvite
- Notes sent via Jobvite will be emailed to
your GC email address.
- Jobvite creates tracking code (e.g.
askjfhgkahsjgf@jobvite.com) for both the
Note sender and recipient.
- If you simply reply to the email received
, the response will be received by the
sender and captured within the
appropriate candidate profile
- Forwarding, adding additional
parties, etc. might interfere with the
tracking of the communication in Jobvite.

9. Notes &
Messages
- A typical candidate profile will have a long
trail of communications by the end of the
recruiting process.
- Messages (external notes) work similarly.

going on at any point with any candidate.
