Who are the HR Specialist and Recruiter?

The HR Specialist and Recruiter are the business users who can invite new hires and control a new hire's account through the Candidate Console. Their ability to troubleshoot a new hire's onboarding process is important if something goes wrong any time during the process.  This ranges from small issues like resending login information to larger issues like needing to purge a new hire's information completely.

The Human Resources administrator reviews the information that the candidate has provided, and completes the required Human Resources activities. They are vital for allowing the new hire to continue filling out forms and agreements in the onboarding process. They have to do the prescreening activities, verify information, and complete job data in order for the new hire to be able to continue their onboarding process. For the specific HR Specialist's My Tasks see Prescreen Activities and HR Activities. For general information on what My Tasks are, click here.
