Add Candidates Who Respond to Civil Service Canvasing to Tracker

Introduction

When Civil Service Candidates respond to your canvasing letter and accept, you can add them to the tracker on your job posting, which will then allow you interact with them as you would other job candidates in SchoolFront: 

• Track and communicate progress as you vet them as candidate(s)
• Add additional reviewers (e.g. hiring committee members) to the tracker so that they can help vet the candidate(s)
• Capture (and save for auditing/historical record) information you aggregate while evaluating the candidate(s) -- for example, private notes from hiring committee members. 

Prerequisite Steps

• Create a Job Posting
• Create a Tracker for the Job Posting
• Upload a Civil Service List
• Associate the Civil Service List with the Job Posting
• Design a Canvas Letter Mail-merge Template
• Create Civil Service Canvas Letters
• Send Canvas Letters to Candidates via Postal Mail
