Cause

In 1905 version, Selectable By permission is added as an enhancement in the system Default status. This caused error to any operators to forward the candidate to any job requisitions they do not have access. This is regardless if they forward the candidate in the requisition or via Candidate tab. If the recruiter has permission to the job requisition for new application then it should allow adding candidates to that status and if the recruiter does not have permission to the job req for new application then it should say that the user does not have permission for that particular job requisiton.

Resolution

There are 2 possible workarounds we could do:

  • Have any recruiting operator forward the candidate to requisition in Forwarded status and whoever is the recruiter of the job requisition can just move the candidates to Default (New Application) status.
  • Provide recruiting users access to the job requisitions by adding them as the recruiting operator (or recruiting team) of the job requisitions.
