Opportunities

What is an Opportunity?

An opportunity in TalentHunting is created when a contact matches with an open position.

• It represents the start of the recruitment process for that candidate in relation to a specific job. Opportunities give recruiters a structured way to manage, monitor, and track all activities linked to a candidate-job match, ensuring no step is missed and the process runs efficiently.

• Here, the recruiter essentially has all the information related to the candidate during the recruitment process.

Why Opportunities Matter?

• Centralized management: Keep all candidate and job-related information in one place.

• Visibility: Track the progress of each candidate through the recruitment pipeline.

• Efficiency: Ensure recruiters can focus on the right actions at the right time.

• Accountability: Every action, interview, or note is logged against the opportunity for clear audit trails.
