🔒Requires permission:Application Create

Add an existing candidate (or several) to this job from the kanban — without going through the candidate profile or the full apply flow. Useful when you’re moving a candidate from another job, or remembering a past applicant who fits.

When to use this

You’re on a job’s kanban and want to:

• Add a candidate you found in another job or in the global candidate list.
• Re-add a candidate to a different open job after you decided to redirect them.
• Batch-create applications for several candidates onto the same job.

How to open it

1. From the kanban, click the Add candidate button at the top.
2. The sidebar slides in from the right.

What it does

Candidate(s)

Read-only badges of the candidate(s) you started from. If you came here without selecting first, you’ll need to back out and select them on the kanban.

Job

Type-ahead picker showing matching jobs as you type. Each row shows: client logo, job title, job number (e.g. #12345), and client name — so you can pick the right opening among look-alikes.

What happens when you click Send

An application is created for each candidate × chosen job. The candidate appears in the new job’s kanban at the starting workflow status; nothing changes on the current job. If you wanted to MOVE rather than copy, separately delete the original application — by default this action adds, it doesn’t move.

Note

It adds, it doesn’t move. Heads-up: this creates a brand-new application on the chosen job. The candidate now has two applications (the original + the new one). If you want a single application, the candidate has to be removed from the old job.

Tips

• Searches use both job title and number. The fastest way to pick a specific job is to type its job number — exact match guaranteed.
• If you can’t find a job, it may be closed. Closed jobs don’t accept new applications and don’t appear in this picker.
• Removing duplicate applications happens on the source job’s kanban — pick the candidate and choose Decline or move them off.
