Assign tasks to improve communication between users when screening candidate applications. You can assign tasks to yourself or to your colleagues that use TalentLyft. Assign tasks to other users if you want them to send an email, call or evaluate candidates and applications. There is also the todo type that is used for activities that are not mentioned before. Every task has its own deadline and until that date a task needs to be completed.
To assign a task, click on the stage where the candidate application you wish to interact with is located.
From the list of applications in that stage, click on the one you wish to add a task to.
Click on the Activities tab and select the Assign a task option (the notepad icon).
There are also other candidate activity options that you can choose to interact with candidate applications:
