An applicant pool allows you to find applications based on keywords independent of the job opening. This allows you to view candidates you have tagged with certain keywords at any time in the pool candidates area. In addition, you can set favourites in the pools via pins, so that you can access these pools more quickly.

Proceed as follows: 

1.) Configuration in the applicant - Manual keyword assignment: 

1. Open the application that you would like to find in a specific pool by using keywords. 
2. Click on the icon   in the Person card. The option to select or enter keywords opens. 
3. Enter suitable keywords. 
4. Click on  Save to save the entries.
5. Change the status of an applicant to a pool status. 

2.) Configuration in the applicant - Select keywords by pool status:

4. Enter the keywords here.
5. Click on  Execute status change. The Application page with the applicant's details is displayed. 

3.) Configuration in the system - Assigning permission: 

1.  Assign the right to view applications and view pool candidate to a user group that should be able to edit the pool. This is possible via a previously created role.

4.) Configuration in the system - Create pool status: 

1. Create a new status or modify an existing one.
2. In the input form for the status, select the following configurations:
   • Pool status: yes

3. Click on  Create to save the entries.
   
   

5.) Display of the applicant pool:
