➡️ Completing A Workflow For A Candidate
Whilst on the main onboarding page for your candidate (depending on your user permissions) you may see if there are workflows to complete, a “Complete” or “Force Complete” button on the right hand side of each workflow:
Upon selecting “complete”, the workflow is reassigned to you and you will need to complete the workflow on the candidate's behalf.
➡️ Blocking
On other workflows, you may also see “Blocking” on the right hand side:
-This means the workflow was marked as “Blocking” when it was created and must be completed before the candidate can move forward in the recruitment process.
➡️ Force Complete
Depending on your configuration and user permissions, you may also see “Force Complete” on a workflow:
- This option should only be used in exceptional cases, as it marks all of the candidate's workflows as complete - not just a single one.
🗒️ Onboarding Candidate Notes
You can record notes against a candidate and choose to make them visible to everyone or keep them private for your own view.
You can add an onboarding note to a candidate either via the “Onboarded Users” list by clicking on the post-it note icon (1):
Or by clicking on the Candidate’s name from Onboarded Users, then selecting the post it note from the pop-up (1) and clicking on the + icon (2):
When adding a note you will see that you have multiple editing options to make your text bold for example, or add a link or image if needed (1).
You also have the option to “pin” your note to the top, you might do this if your note is particularly important (2).

To add another note from this screen, simply click on the text “Add another note” as this is a hyperlink (1).
➡️ Reviewing Notes
To see what (if any notes) have been added against a candidate you simply need to look at the post-it note icon.
The post-it note icon will either show as grey (1), if no notes have been added against a candidate or green (2) if a note has been added.
If you would like a quick view of any notes, simply hover over the post-it note icon (1) a pop-up will appear for you to view or add new (2):
