Seamlessly Move Candidates Between Programs or Cohorts in Abode 🎯

Whether it's converting interns to full-time hires or keeping talent engaged between programs, transitioning candidates from one stage of their journey to the next is a pivotal moment to maintain momentum and drive long-term success.

With Abode, this transition is simple, streamlined, and effective. Here’s how:

🔄 Step-by-Step: Transitioning Candidates to a New Program

1. Finalize Current Program

Before you transition your candidates to their new program, ensure that:

All key tasks in their current program/cohort (exit surveys, Abode Yearbook submissions, general off-boarding tasks) are completed.
Final events (projects and presentations, conversion conversations) are scheduled and communicated.
The forum is updated with any wrap-up messaging.

💡 Pro Tip: Use Abode’s analytics to check engagement levels and identify any at-risk candidates before transitioning them.

2. Create Your Next Program and Assign Your Templates

Whether it's a “"keep warm" program for returning interns or a full-time onboarding journey:

Go to your Abode Programs and create a new program and cohort(s).
Ensure your templates are finalized and assigned to your new program and cohort(s).

3. Bulk Move Candidates Through Abode

To move candidates in Abode:

Navigate to your current program's cohort or program.
Select the candidates you'd like to transition to your new cohort(s).
Use the Enroll in New Cohort action to assign them to their new program and cohort (i.e. Full-Time Conversion, Keep Warm, etc.).

✨ Reminder: If your program includes multiple cohorts, make sure each candidate is added to the appropriate one. Accurate cohort assignment is essential for delivering the correct content, tasks, and timelines to each group.

That’s it! The steps to move candidates to a new program in Abode are complete.

🔔 Don’t forget to activate your new cohorts once candidates have been successfully transitioned to ensure content, tasks, and events start going out as planned. Before this is complete, please make sure all content is updated in the new journey and ready to go.

If there are additional candidates who need to be added to the new program but are not already in Abode, you have a few easy options:

ATS Integration (if your team has one set up)
CSV File Upload or Manual Entry via the Abode platform

By following these steps, you’ll ensure every candidate - returning or new - has a seamless, engaging experience as they move into the next phase of their journey with you.
