★ What’s New


We have released the 'Re-Hire' feature for Skillate. This feature is designed to empower recruiters and hiring managers by providing the ability to re-hire candidates for new job opportunities, even if they are currently in an active 'Hired' status for another job. With the 'Re-Hire' feature, you can seamlessly override the previous hired stage with a new one or make the candidate active in both jobs, allowing for greater flexibility and control over candidate statuses.


When you rehire a candidate using this feature, it shows you two options: 

  1. Un-hire: This option helps you mark the candidate as 'INACTIVE' in their previous job and 'ACTIVE' in the new job. 

  2. Keep Hired in above job: This option allows you to keep the candidate active in both jobs.


----------------------------------------------------------

▶ Key Highlights & Benefits


  • Re-Hire Candidates with Ease: The 'Re-Hire' feature enables you to re-hire candidates who are currently in an active 'Hired' status for another job within your organization. This functionality streamlines the re-hiring process and eliminates the need for manual adjustments.
  • Multiple Active Hires: With this update, you can have two or more instances of the same candidate in an active 'Hired' state. This flexibility allows you to efficiently handle various re-hiring scenarios, such as rehiring former employees, re-engaging candidates from past recruitment cycles, or bringing back contractual candidates once their projects conclude.
  • Enhanced Flexibility: The 'Re-Hire' feature gives you the flexibility to re-engage candidates for new opportunities, helping you fill positions quickly and efficiently.
  • Improved Record Keeping: Candidate records are automatically updated to reflect their accurate employment status, making it easier to manage and track their journey within your organization.
  • Streamlined Processes: This feature simplifies the re-hiring process, reducing administrative overhead and allowing recruiters to focus on what matters most – finding the right talent.
