Sometimes there are more qualified candidates for a position than the company needs to hire.

 To consolidate qualified candidates who were not hired for critical positions in a central location, you can use the following features:

Talent pools: These are groups of candidates that share common characteristics, such as skills, interests, or qualifications. You can create talent pools and add qualified candidateswho were not hired to the appropriate talent pools, to maintain a relationship with them and engage them for future opportunities. You can also use the Candidate Relationship Management feature to send targeted email campaigns, invitations, or surveys to the candidates in your talent pools.

Talent Pipeline: This is a feature that allows you to track the progress of candidates through different stages of the recruiting process, such as sourced, contacted, screened, interviewed, or offered. You can create a specific applicant status on the Talent Pipeline, such as “Silver Medalist” or “Backup”, and move qualified candidates who were not hired there, to keep them visible and accessible for the recruiters. You can also use the Talent Pipeline to view the candidate profile, history, and notes, and to perform actions such as sending emails, scheduling interviews, or changing statuses.

Creating a Content page on the career site or a field on the application view of the Candidate Workbench are not recommended ways to consolidate qualified candidates who were not hired. A Content page on the career site is a page that displays custom content, such as company culture, benefits, testimonials, or events. It is not a suitable place to store or manage candidate data, as it is public and not integrated with the Recruiting Management module. A field on the application view of the Candidate Workbench is a field that displays additional information about the candidate, such as resume, cover letter, or ratings. It is not a convenient way to group or filter candidates, as it is not searchable or sortable, and it does not allow bulk actions or communications. References:
