  3. Provide the text that should appear in the help text bubble.

Please be informed that any hyperlinks which are included in the custom help text will open in the same window when clicked. This is the current system design. This may lead to data loss if any changes made to the requisition are not saved before clicking on the hyperlink.

Note that Job Application and Candidate Profile custom help text appears to candidates, not recruiting users. There is no way to provide help text on the recruiting user-facing view of the application record.

Help Text is available for Job requisition, Job application, Candidate Profile and Offer Details template.

  2. Click 'Select Fields'
