The Candidate Pool in the ATS allows you to view all your candidates applying to your job postings. This enables you to get a higher-level view of potential candidates who may be a good fit for other or future job openings.
We also offer a video training for this topic on Arcoro Learning.
Candidate profiles may not be accessed by all users as access is permissions-based. If you do not have access, your candidate names will be gray and unclickable.
