Earmarking an Applicant

Earmarks are very useful for flagging exceptional candidates, or to highlight candidates who are not suitable and you want all managers to be aware that they should not be hired.

To add an earmark to an application

1. Select an applicant on the Manage Applicants page.
   You can also click the Earmarks tab on the Manage Application page.
2. Click the Add Earmark button.
   The Earmarks dialog opens.
3. Type a comment in the Earmark Comments box.
   The data entry options that are available depend on how the Earmark UDF is configured in Quadrant.

   

4. Click Save.

Earmarks are global. When you add an earmark, it is applied to every posting an applicant has applied for. Only the most recently added earmark appears on the Manage Applicants or Manage Candidates page. To view all of a candidate's earmarks, you must open either the Manage Applicants or Manage Application page, and then the Earmarks tab.

Open the User Defined Folders window, select the UDF you noted in System Configuration, and then click the Security button . On the Security dialog that opens, change the access rights to the appropriate user groups.
