Sage People Candidate Portals use Salesforce sites to expose the information you want to show to candidates through public websites, so candidates do not have to log in with a username and password. The Candidate Portal typically includes a list of current vacancies and enables candidates to register their interest. Registered candidates receive a secure candidate reference to use when logging in to track an existing application or to apply for another role. Application Status is updated on the Portal immediately - a change to the status by the Recruiter or Hiring Manager is reflected on the Candidate Portal the next time the candidate connects to the Portal or refreshes their browser.
Candidate References were originally 10 characters long and were extended to 20 characters with the Sage People Poseidon Release (23.01) in June 2018.
