Import from a connected job

What happens in Candidately and Bullhorn?
The candidate appears on the list with their Bullhorn ID ("BH ID") and an Open in Bullhorn button. Like any new candidate, they start as Draft or Active depending on the list setting Candidate upload status.
On a list connected to a job, Bullhorn gets a new submission for the candidate on that job. When you later set the candidate active or move them to a stage, the submission status in Bullhorn follows your status mapping. For example, Interview becomes Interview Scheduled.
On a list that isn't connected to a job, nothing is written to Bullhorn.
The submission in Bullhorn
The job in Bullhorn shows the candidate with the submission status from your mapping.
Good to know
To connect a list to a job, create it from the CLIENT PORTAL tab on the job in Bullhorn. See Create a list from a Bullhorn job and import candidates automatically.
Stages you added yourself, such as Offer or Hired, don't change the status in Bullhorn. Only the stages in your Bullhorn status mapping do. See Map submission stages to Bullhorn statuses.
If the search on an unconnected list finds nobody, your company may have Global candidate search turned off. Your account Owner can change it under Settings → Integrations → Bullhorn.
To add and remove candidates automatically, for example everyone on a tearsheet, use Automations. See Update a list automatically from Bullhorn.
Pro tip: On a connected list, turn on Search all candidates in Bullhorn to add someone who isn't on the job yet. Bullhorn gets the new submission on that job.
