Once an organization posts a job, applicants start applying for the job post through the Job portal. Upon applying, the candidate has to fill in the information required from the hiring manager for the posted vacancy. The system creates a profile for each applicant based on the data gathered for that applicant. The following steps need to be followed to create a candidate profile, Go to Recruitment -> Candidates 

Step 1 - To view a Candidate Profile, either

Update candidate info

By going to the candidate's profile and clicking the "Current Stage", the Admin user can change the candidate's stage. 

Once you change the status to 'Hired', by clicking the "Add as Employee" the admin user can add the candidate as an employee by going through the add employee wizard (If enabled)

When adding the candidate to the employee database, the system will automatically connect the basic information from the candidate profile to the employee profile. Additionally, you have the option to modify the information within the dialogue box.

Here,  you can easily select the stage using the dropdown available for each candidate. Once you select the stage as a Job Offer you will get this screen where you can easily capture the job offer details.

If the candidate has not performed satisfactorily in their current role but shows potential for a different position, the HR admin user has the ability to assign the candidate to a different vacancy.
