WFM UK: ATS: Candidate Journey for Signing a Contract (Signable)

Overview

This article details the step-by-step experience for a candidate within the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) once they have successfully accepted their job offer - and have been instructed to complete their contract. 

Please note: Only candidates for customers using Signable will need to follow these steps. 

Candidate Journey

1. Accessing ATS
Once a hiring manager has progressed a candidate onto the 'onboarding - collecting documents' stage in ATS - the candidate will receive an email stating the hiring company requires further information. It will feature a hyperlink for the candidate to access their account. Alternatively, the candidate can log in to their account as normal. 

2. Select 'Sign Off Your Contract'
Upon logging into ATS, candidates will be met with a Sign Off Your Contract button that can also be found under the My Applications page (see Fig.1).
