Allow managers to add candidates

As recruitment becomes more and more decentralized the need for this option is obvious, and was brought up as an idea on the community, Add candidate in managers portal, by @tas.

To use this option you need to setup a custom form with all the fields you need about the candidate when adding through the managersportal. You can do this in "Setup - customize - candidates - custom forms". Then connect this custom form to the "Add candidate" option in the setup of the managersportal, in "Setup - self-service - portals - managersportal":

Once the custom form is connected you will see the option to add a candidate pop up in the managersportal, on top of the list with candidates for a vacancy the manager is working with:

The workflow still controls what happens to the candidate after adding, first send them to the central HR department, or available for the manager right away. You can also change the workflow to treat these added candidates differently and make them available for the manager right away, while other candidates that are added through the regular channels first go through the HR department. If the candidate first should go through the HR department and not be available for managers before a first screening, remember to instruct the managers on this so they don't think their candidates "disappear".

You can give the setup that works for you a try on our Labs server.
