Bulk rejecting candidates without duplicating to any who have already been notified.

Hello everyone.  I need to bulk reject some candidates however, on our hiring team, some people have rejected candidates with email and some without. I want to email those who haven’t received one but can’t figure out an efficient way of finding those who haven’t received a rejection email without flicking through all applications to check the email tab. Is there a way to sort candidates to help with this? TIA 😁 Emily

Error while applying for a job

Hi, I’m facing this error message whenever I apply for a job position in a company that uses Personio. What is the reason for this error. Is it that you can only apply for a role only once. Sometimes these roles get posted again after few months or weeks,

Candidate email // Corporate email

Dear Community ,we faced the following issue when moving someone from candidate status to employee status (hiring). If we keep the email address of the candidate, it will appear as email (at us the unique ID) =company email and not private email, which we do not want (because it generates a request automatically to create an account in our travel tool). As solution before changing to employee status, we changed the candidate email to company email - but as a result, the recruiter could not communicate with the candidate via Personio (via candidate email address ). The company email address is valid as of the first working day...What could be the solution for our issue?Thanks all for your response, help! bests, LegoMD

Group interview with the applicants

Wir würden gerne mehrere Bewerber gleichzeitig zu Gruppen-Interviews einladen. Leider wissen wir nicht, wie man bei der Terminierung über Personio mehrere Bewerber zu ein und demselben Termin einladen kann, da wir gerne die Funktion der automatisierten Terminbuchung nutzen würden (bei der Vergabe von Slots über den Link zur Interviewplanung kann kein Termin zwei Mal gebucht werden und wenn man einen Termin über die Buchung eines Zeitfensters einlädt, kann man in diesem Zeitraum ebenfalls keinen weiteren Bewerber mehr einladen).

Group interview with the applicants

Hi Community :) I would like to invite several applicants to group interviews. Unfortunately, I do not know how to invite several applicants to the same appointment when scheduling via Personio, as I would like to use the automated appointment booking function (when assigning slots via the interview scheduling link, no appointment can be booked twice. If you invite an appointment by booking a time slot, you cannot invite another applicant during this period either). Is there a solution for this?Thanks for the help!

Saved Evaluations disappear

All the time when I save my evaluation drafts they disappear if I for example go to work from office. I do not submit them,  but i save them as a graft, and then they are just gone. Why is this happening? Please help to prevent this.

"Offer" doesn't appear as the final stage in data export

Hi, We’re trying to get a better understanding of our offer acceptance/rejections and unfortunately in the csv export it doesn’t show “offer” as a final stage, only the last stage a candidate was in before making an offer. Is there anyway to get the data on candidates who have reached the offer stage in the process? Thanks!

Closing job vacancy

In The Netherlands most job vacancies have a closing date. After this date you cannot apply anymore and the selection process will start. I can only choose to unpublish or archive. It would be nice to be able to add a closing date to (also visible for applicants) and be able to process this way in Personio.

How to automatically add recruiting team to LinkedIn postings?

Hello,I’ve noticed that occasionally on LinkedIn it will say who the recruiter is for the role. Since we have LinkedIn already integrated into Personio (and the hiring team in Personio is already added), I am wondering how (assuming its possible) to have this information automatically be included in the LinkedIn posting. Any answers or help would be greatly appreciated :)

Auto rejection in Personio

Hey I just wanted to ask if personio pre-screens and auto rejects the candidates, for instance our main criteria for one position is 5 years of experience so Personio can just pre screen and send rejection to candidates who don’t meet this experience criteria. Looking forward to hear!!

Message replies do not appear in Personio

Hello,I am a pretty new Personio user, so can not figure out how to change the Settings in the Recruiting Messages section.When a Message to the candidate is sent through Personio and the candidate replies, the reply does not appear under the candidates profile/application and it is not under Unassigned Messages. Only the recruiting team members who get emails sent to the “Custom email address” defined in Personio “Recruiting email settings” forwarded to their regular mailbox can see the candidate replies. Under the candidate’s profile in Personio, the conversation looks one sided.What setting need to be fixed, so that the whole conversation/messages would appear under each candidate’s profile in ”Messages” section?

Interview forms setup

I am reaching out to inquire about the functionality of our your system regarding interview forms setup for our hiring managers.As part of our hiring process, we conduct two interviews before making a hiring decision. To ensure consistency and objectivity in our assessments, I have created two distinct interview forms: one for the first interview and another for the second interview.My query pertains to the possibility of "presetting" these interview forms/questions within the system. By this, I mean establishing a predetermined “interview question-template” for each interview stage, which can be automatically dispatched to the respective hiring manager upon scheduling an interview. This would enable us to maintain a standardized and streamlined approach to our interviewing process.Could you please advise if such functionality exists within system? I am not referring to the “recruiting-evaluation forms’ that are filled to evaluate an interview.  Thank you for your assistance and guidan

Number of applications// Personio vs LinkedIn

Dear Community,do you maybe know… :-)I would be curious to find out what is the explanation for having a higher amount of applicants showing on the job ad promoted via LinkedIn compared to the applications actually coming in via Personio ( for example: on LinkedIn, I can see 48 applications for job X and in Personio, I only see 30 applications for job X)?  Could it be because not everyone who clicks on the Apply button on LinkedIn completes the application form on Personio Career Page?  Thanks so much for sharing your experiences in this regard!!!!Bests, Diana

Email does not reach the recipient completely

 Hallo,Wenn ich eine E-Mail mithilfe einer E-Mail-Vorlage verschicke kommt die E-Mail nur teilweise an. In Personio ist ersichtlich, dass die Person die gesamte E-Mail bekommen hat, aber bei der Person erscheint nur ein Teil des E-Mail-Textes. Woran könnte das liegen?Viele Grüße​​​​​​Hello,When I send an email using an email template, only part of the email arrives. Personio shows that the person has received the entire email, but only part of the email text appears in the person's inbox. What could be the reason for this?Best regards
