Overview

Efficiently placing candidates into the correct job context is fundamental for recruiters. Eightfold provides a clear and intuitive flow for accurately assigning candidates to events, aiming to boost productivity and minimize errors.

Add to Event

When assigning a candidate to a specific hiring event, you can use the following:

• Filters: You can narrow down event options using various filters:
  • Event type - view a specific type of events.
  • Event category - view events of the same category.
  • Positions tagged - find events associated with specific job positions.
  • My Events and All Events - toggle between events you own or all accessible events.
  • Status - Filter by ‘Past’, ‘Happening’, or ‘Future’ events.
  • Custom fields (if configured by your organization) - You can filter by custom fields for events (for example, "Purpose of the event") if your organization uses them.
• Autocomplete: as you type in the search bar, the system provides relevant suggestions, dynamically updating based on any applied filters.
• Metadata: autocomplete results display important details like "My event" status, or whether an event is "Happening, past, or upcoming". You can hover over to see more details of the event.
• Success messages: upon successfully adding candidates, a confirmation message shows the number of candidates added and how many were already present.
• Stage-based restrictions: you can configure restrictions based on the movement of the candidate profile to a specific stage.
