How to set a candidate’s start date?
When you hire a candidate, you can set or update their start date directly in Jobtoolz. This ensures the information in the candidate profile is always up to date.
Note: configure the correct final stage
To set the start date, you must tick the option ‘Activate onboarding process at this stage’ for the final stage. You can choose the name of this stage yourself, for example, ‘Hired’ or ‘Employment start’.

You can enter the start date in two ways:
-
When you move a candidate to ‘Hired’.
- Open the candidate profile of the relevant candidate.
- In the top-right corner, change the stage to the final stage (in this case, ‘Hired’).
- An additional window will appear where you can enter the employment start date.
The selected date will then be displayed in the candidate’s information.

- Want to change the start date later? You can do that too!
-
-
Open the candidate profile and go to ‘Candidate information’.
- Click ‘Edit application’.
- Enter the start date or update the existing date.
