Opening a vacancy record and going to the Applications tab will show any applications that have already been made.

To look for applicants to create a new application for, select Match Applicants.

The following search filters will appear on the page automatically:

  • Distance – Here you can specify the maximum distance between the named postcode and the address of the applicant.

  • From Post Code – This is the postcode from which the distance will be calculated. This will be set to the postcode of the organisation that posted the vacancy by default.

  • Applicant Name/ID

  • Tags

  • Number of Records Displayed

Along with these, additional filters are available by selecting More. If a value for any of these has been added to the vacancy record, the filter will be added to the page automatically and populated from the vacancy record. The following filters are available:

  • Applicant Status

  • Applicant Risk Band

  • Applicant Employer

  • Applicant Site

  • Is New

  • Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)

  • Sector Subject Area (SSA)

  • Occupational Area

  • Custom Provision

  • Qualification Plan

  • Apprenticeship Standard

You can then select the search icon to run the search. Any matching applicants will be shown in the list. At the top of the list you can choose to view the applicants as a list or marked on a map.

If you want to create an application for one applicant, select the ... icon and choose Create Application. A window will open where you can confirm the Started date and select Save to add the application record.

If you want to create multiple applications, use the tickboxes at the left-hand side of the list to choose the relevant applicants, then select Create Applications for All. A window will open where you can confirm the Started date for all applications and select Save to add them.

If you are only creating one application, after saving you will be taken to the edit window, where you can add further details. To do this for multiple applications, return to the applicant's Applications tab and select ... > Edit by the new applications.
