What do I need to know and why about rehires and completing the 'find duplicates for candidate' to do step?
To rehire someone, (for example a previous nandoca would like to be rehired as a nandoca) you first need to have a requisition open with available positions: Creating a job advert (requisition)
They can then apply in the same way as any other candidate. One of the questions on the application is "have you worked for Nando's before?" and they need to answer "yes".
Otherwise, if you want to save them the job of filling out a full application, you can do it for them by following this guide Creating a prospect candidate, then this guide Creating an application on the candidates behalf.
You then need to ensure you follow the steps in this guide before you hire them to prevent any tech issues occurring when they start as if you hire them without completing this step it would result in the following issues:
- The Nandoca is assigned a new nandoca ID and therefore will need to complete all of their details again and will not have a continuous service date.
- They may experience pay issues.
- If they have the same email address as previous, they will experience login issues which require a number of teams to fix.
