Add Applicants Directly in Hire Go

Hire Go users can now create new applicant records directly in the app, including required contact info, optional documents and notes, and consent acceptance on the applicant's behalf.

Previously, applicants had to initiate the process themselves. For walk-ins, hiring events, or assisted applications, there was no way for a hiring manager to quickly get someone into the funnel from Hire Go.

What's new

• Create applicants directly in Hire Go — no need for the applicant to start the process

• Required contact info — name and email are required

• Optional documents and notes — attach a photo of a resume or add recruiter notes at creation

• Consent acceptance — manager accepts consent fields on the applicant's behalf

• Optional applicant message — choose whether to send an alert or message to the applicant

• Duplicate checking — the system flags potential duplicates before creating so the user can make an informed decision

• Workflow placement — applicant is added to the first stage of the workflow automatically (with an alert if that stage is not visible in Hire Go)

Why it matters

Helps teams avoid losing strong candidates when someone applies in person, and reduces friction when managers need to quickly get someone into the funnel at a hiring event, career fair, or walk-in.
