❗️ Important note for Light plan customers: candidates in your Talent pool count towards the total amount of candidates you are allowed to store in Homerun.
Please note that you need 'All candidates' permission to use the Talent pool feature. If you do not see the "Copy to talent pool" button, reach out to an admin in your company.
To place a candidate in the talent pool you can follow these steps:
Make sure you have the 'All candidates' permission.
Via the sidebar on the left, click on a job opening under 'Your jobs' or head to the 'Jobs' page to navigate to the specific job.
Select 'Candidates' in the menu bar at the top.
Click on a candidate to open up their profile.
Click on the ellipsis icon (three dots) in the top right corner, then click 'Copy to talent pool'. The candidate is now duplicated to your Talent pool!
How to find the talent pool
To locate your talent pool, follow these steps:
Via the sidebar on the left, click on 'Candidates'.
Select 'Talent pool' in the menu bar at the top. That's it! All candidates you have moved to the talent pool are placed here.
Extending the data retention period
Due to privacy regulations, you are not allowed to store candidate data indefinitely. If you want to keep candidates on file, it's wise to check when their data retention period ends. You can do so at the bottom of each individual candidate profile.
If needed, you can request to keep a candidate's data longer. This way you'll prevent candidate data from being automatically deleted (if you've chosen to automatically delete candidate data after a certain period in the Privacy settings of your account).
