In the scenario when certain candidates are already employees of an existing client, you can lock them so that they do not get considered for jobs of other clients in the system. 

You can enable this feature as per client specifications.

Enable block feature

Step 1: Go to the Clients Module from the left-hand side of the menu.

 

Step 2: Click on any individual client and the client views dialogue box will appear. Then, navigate towards Edit tab.

 

Step 3: Enable the option to block candidates of this client by adding a tick mark. Now update it by clicking on the update button at the bottom.

 

Note: This check will be performed by comparing the email address of the candidate with the client's website and by searching the client's name within the resume of the candidate.  

 

Candidate of current client 

Once you enable the block feature in the client details, if any candidate is identified as an employee of the chosen client, the candidate profile will contain an icon reflecting that he/ she is an employee of the client.

Note: This will not restrict any user from processing the candidate for other clients; it will simply reflect in the candidate profile as a warning icon. 


LinkedIn Import Warning: Candidate Belongs to Client Company

When importing a candidate using the LinkedIn plugin, the system will show a warning if the candidate is currently associated with a client company and is marked as blocked.

Steps to Trigger the Warning:

  • In the client, ensure the option "Block candidates of the companies for recruitment" is checked.

  • When importing a candidate profile using the LinkedIn plugin, the system checks if the candidate is currently or has been previously associated with any of your client companies marked as blocked. If a match is found, the following error message will appear, and the candidate will not be imported:
    "This candidate is currently or previously associated with your client company: [Name]."
