FAQs
- How can I edit a candidate in an archived job?
-
The edit option for candidates is not available for archived jobs. To edit a candidate profile, you should unarchive the job. Alternatively, you can move their profile to another job if you're considering them for it.
- What if a candidate's social profile link doesn't work or looks outdated?
-
Social links (e.g. LinkedIn) are sometimes added automatically when a candidate applies, and can occasionally be outdated or point to the wrong profile. To update or remove a social profile link while editing a candidate profile, select the pencil icon next to the Social profiles section and proceed with the updates as needed.
