Applicant Hiring

When an applicant is hired as an employee, the applicant’s information feeds into the new employee record. The applicant record also remains in the database. Hiring an applicant is done from the applicant record or the job application. Applicants may be hired manually or with an HR Action, depending on the company's needs.
