Members may move candidates through the job application process in a different order than what is shown here.

Screen

You will receive an Inbox item to screen the Candidate.

2. On the Overview screen, select the Candidates tab to see all candidates who have applied for the position.

Screen the Candidates

The Manager screens candidates by reviewing their skills, experience, resume, etc. Then the Manager decides to either move the Candidate forward to the next stage or disposition.

IMPORTANT: You can move a Candidate forward or disposition the Candidate from either the Grid or using the task in your Workday Inbox. However, all other actions to move forward or decline a Candidate must take place using the inbox task for each Candidate. Only the Screen step can be completed using the Grid.

1. Select the checkbox next to the Candidate (you can select multiple candidates).
2. Select Move Forward (or Decline).
3. Select which stage you would like to move the Candidate to. This is referred to as “moving them through the grid.” In this example, the Candidate is being moved forward to the Interview stage.

IMPORTANT: Clarify with your Recruiting Coordinator the next appropriate stage for your department.

4. Select OK. You will see the updated grid showing the Candidate in the stage they were moved to and who is waiting to take action.

Move Forward Using Inbox Task

You can also move the Candidate forward (or decline) from the inbox task.

Generate the Offer Document

When the offer is approved, you, the Recruiting Coordinator, and Recruiting Partner will receive a task in their inbox to Generate Document for Offer.

The letter can be edited in the Document field.  If edits are made, they must first be saved before generating the PDF. The offer letter can be viewed by selecting View PDF.

Offer letters vary by member with their own branding. You will see the offer letter template for your own member.

If you do not want to use the Generate Document feature in Workday, you can skip the step and it will not send the offer letter to the Candidate. (Do this by selecting the Gear icon in the upper right corner and selecting Skip This Task.)

Note: If the letter is generated outside of Workday, the Recruiting Partner or Recruiting Coordinator can upload the letter (generated outside of Workday) to the Candidate profile for documentation purposes.

An internal Candidate will receive their offer letter in their Workday Inbox while external Candidates will receive it on their Candidate Home account on the external career site.
