When Connectr refers to a ‘candidate’ we are referring to someone currently in the process of or has recently applied for a job at an organisation either by sending a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) or by completing an application form or process.

A successful candidate will receive an offer of employment whilst an unsuccessful candidate will no longer be considered for the role that they applied for.
