Adding a candidate to a talent pool

Adding an existing candidate

You can add an existing candidate to a talent pool through their profile. This moves them from their assigned job to the talent pool, and removes them from the pipeline.

1. In eyrecruit, click on the Pipeline tab.
2. Click on the candidate to bring up their profile.
3. In the top right, click on  > Move Candidate.
4. In the pop-up window, click on a talent pool to select it. You can type into the search bar at the top to filter the results.
5. Click Assign.

Adding a new candidate

Candidates who are not yet on the system can be added directly to a talent pool through the Talent Pool screen.

1. In eyrecruit, click on the Talent Pools tab.
2. Click on the Title of a talent pool to view its candidates.
3. Click Add New Candidate in the top right.
4. Fill out the candidate’s details in the form that pops up. Unlike adding a candidate to a job, the only required fields when adding a candidate to a talent pool are First Name, Last Name, and Source.
5. Click Add.

Candidate profiles in talent pools function similarly to candidate profiles on the pipeline. To find out more, have a look at the Managing Candidates section of the help centre.
