What
Within Mercury Core you can retrieve Candidates and view their status in relation to a specific Vacancy. By viewing this within Search, more detailed information on the Candidate can be viewed - e.g. Match Rating, Tags, Salary Information - helping to better match ideal Candidates within a Vacancy Shortlist.
You can also attach new Candidates to a Shortlist. This allows for Candidates that have been deemed suitable for a different roles to be easily accessed and considered for new positions.
