Manage Applicants Deprecation: Cornerstone will be deprecating Manage Applicants in a future release. The timing of this deprecation is not yet determined.
As part of the April '21 release, a Manage Candidates Default feature is added to Feature Activation Preferences. This feature is on by default and enables the redirect to Manage Candidates from Manage Requisitions in Production and Pilot portals. However, if the redirect to Manage Candidates impedes your recruiting practices, then you can disable this feature by turning the toggle to Off in Feature Activation Preferences. When turned off, clicking the Applicants count from the Manage Requisitions page in Production and Pilot portals opens Manage Applicants instead of Manage Candidates.
The Hiring Dashboard and Review Applicants pages link to Manage Applicants in Production and Pilot portals. Enabling or disabling the Manage Requisitions redirect to Manage Candidates does not affect the Hiring Dashboard or Review Applicants pages.
The Manage Applicants page enables you to manage applicants who have been processed and perform a number of actions, such as assign training and change the status of applicants, all in one convenient place. All applicants in an active status (i.e., other than New Submission, Closed, or Hired) display.
From the Manage Applicants page, you can also access the following for each applicant:
Note: Once a submission is an active status, they are considered an applicant. Because the display name of a status is configurable, status names may appear differently in your portal, including default statuses.
Column Visibility Note: The columns that display are dependent upon the settings defined on the Edit Page Layout page. The information in the columns will vary depending on the functionality that is enabled in your portal and the information submitted by the applicant on their application.
To access the Manage Applicants page, go to . On the Manage Requisition page, locate the requisition for which you would like to manage candidates. From there, click the linked number of candidates in the Applicants column.

Enables reviewer to access requisitions and applicants for requisitions for which they are a reviewer. This permission cannot be constrained. Note: This is a dynamically assigned permission that is not available in Security Role Administration. Once a requisition is in a Closed or Cancelled status or if the user is removed as a reviewer, the permission is revoked for the associated requisition. This permission cannot be manually assigned. Note: If an applicant reviewer is removed as a reviewer via the Applicant Profile page, the Requisition: Reviewer permission is revoked for the associated requisition. However, if the reviewer was also added as a reviewer via the General tab when creating, editing, or copying the requisition, the reviewer still appears on the In Review panel as a duplicate reviewer and retains access to the requisition and applicants from the Requisition: Reviewer permission. See Applicant Profile Page Overview for more information about duplicate reviewer instances. |
