Once the template has been published, you will be able to see "Forward as Applicant" as an option when you select to move a candidate:

Note: Please note that the action user who forwards the applicant needs to have view permission for default status in target job requisition.

Please notice that the "Source Value" in SAC Reports will not generate any value. Please feel free to use Adhoc report instead.

Please also note that when forwarding as applicant on an evergreen job requisition, it is standard that you will see all job requisitions, not just child requisitions.

In order to forward as applicant to unposted jobs, users need to ensure they have the box “Include unposted jobs” checked
