Steps: Set Up Candidate Work Availability

Steps: Set Up Candidate Work Availability

You can configure candidate availability templates to collect the days and times candidates are available to work. These configured time slots are then displayed for external candidates on the external job application.
  1. Access the
    Create Candidate Availability Template
    task.
    Enter start and end times for each day of the week to create work availability time slots. Make sure the time slots you create:
    • Don't overlap.
    • Don’t have duplicates.
    • Are within the same day
    Example: For work availability that spans overnight, you could create a time slot that goes from Monday 8 PM to 11:59 PM and then another time slot that goes from Tuesday 12 AM to 4 AM.

    Maintain Job Requisition Candidate Availability Defaults
    task.
    Select a
    Job Requisition Event Condition Rule

    tab on the job requisition.
