Purpose

This document describes hiring a gig candidate in Talent Flex and what happens once a candidate accepts a gig offer.

Audience

This document is directed toward new users of the Flex product, including recruiters and hiring managers, as well as Eightfold employees.

Hiring a candidate

To hire a candidate for a gig after the candidate has gone through the appropriate stages of the hiring process, take the following steps:

1. Open the position you’d like to make an offer for.
2. Go to the Applicants tab.
3. Select the candidate you’d like to hire.
4. Select Advance Stage and then Offer Extended.
5. If the offer is accepted by the candidate, advance the stage to Offer Accepted.

Note: Selecting Advance Stage does not extend an offer to a candidate; rather, you should extend an offer directly to a candidate and then use Flex to track the offer.

This will bring up a Confirm Action screen where you can confirm the final negotiated pay rate, start date, and end date for the gig.

Once a candidate accepts an offer

Once a candidate accepts a gig offer, the following information is transferred to Greenlight, a tool for onboarding, tax setup, and payroll management:

• Candidate name
• Candidate email address
• Candidate start date
• Candidate end date
• Candidate per hour rate for the gig
• Location of the candidate (city, state, country)
• Candidate phone number
• Position/gig details

Greenlight is where gig workers will complete their required paperwork, such as a 1099 form, and submit time cards.
