Jobs Record - Long Lists Related List

When creating Mass Placements from the Job record’s Long List Related List, there is no maximum limit to the number of Candidates selected at a time.

You can choose to select one or more Candidates at a time or make no selection to include all Candidates.

All Candidates in the Long List will be selected for Mass Placement. The first 500 candidates display on the Mass Placement page. Once the first 500 have been placed and a Closing Report is created for each, the candidates selected disappear from the page and the remaining candidates are visible and ready to be processed. You do not have to leave the page to continue with the Mass Placement.

ADMIN NOTE

A duplicate check is in place during the selection. Only the Candidates that do not already have a Closing Report for the same CandidateID+JobID will be shown on the Mass Placement page. This check happens immediately when the Mass Place Candidates button is used from a Job record, and just after selecting the Job if you are using the Mass Place Candidates button from the Long List List View tab.

The Search and Match results page is another option to create CandidateClosed Mass Placements and Closing Reports.

To move all Candidates returned by the search to the Mass Placement page, click the Place All Candidates button.

You can also limit the Mass Placement to specific Candidates by marking the checkbox next to the candidate's name before selecting Add To Potentials. You can then do a Mass Placement from the Potentials tab.
