Double-Running of Candidates

Top  Previous  Next

Concurrent processing of the same Candidate on two Projects is called "Double-Running" or "Concurrent Processing" of the Candidate. Deskflow has a system of warnings about the status of a Candidate. These warnings are colours (yellow or red) on lists of Candidates that are about be included on a Project list.

 

When a Candidate is added to the Contact Register of an active Project there are no restrictions unless the Candidate works for a current Client or is already being considered for another active Project.

 

If the P = Project Block column in the Contact Register is blank (not yellow or red) for a Candidate, then the Candidate can freely be promoted to the Internal Interview stage, the Presented stage and the Short List for Client Interview stage.

 

Example: Project X1234 Candidates on Contact Register

In doing a search for Candidates (using the Binocular icon) for another active Project, Candidates already on the Considered list for another active Project will be displayed in red text. This is merely a warning to the Deskflow User, and does not prevent selection of the Candidate for inclusion on the Project.
