Submitting a Candidate to a Job (Internal Submission)

The internal submission is the first step in Bullhorn's standard hiring process: submitting a candidate to a job for the job owner (usually a sales representative) to review.

If you work both sides of the desk, or your company doesn't have a job owner review process, you can skip this step and go straight to Client Submission.

There are several ways to add an internal submission, but Bullhorn recommends doing it from the job record for these reasons:

  • Bullhorn automatically references the job record and job owner on the Add Submission screen, so you fill out fewer fields. Adding the submission from the candidate record only populates the candidate's name.

  • It's easier to search for the candidate's name than the job title, since several jobs can share the same title.

  • You likely already have the job record open if you've just spoken to the candidate about it.

If your company's policies allow it, you can submit several candidates to the same job at once. In this case, it's most efficient to start the submission from a set of candidate search results or the list view.

Notes:

  • If you accidentally submit a candidate to a job, you can delete the internal submission record. Don't delete a submission just because the job owner rejects the candidate; instead, change the candidate's submission status to Sales Rep Rejected.

  • After you complete this step, Bullhorn automatically changes the candidate's submission status to Submitted. For more information, see Updating a Candidate's Submission Status.
