Duplicate check

The check for duplicates when creating applications/unsolicited applications is intended to avoid collecting applicant data twice.

The system automatically checks whether the data provided belongs to a previously created application.

• External: If the application is created through an applicant, the check is based on the email address.
• Internal: If the application is created through a HR expert, the check first looks at the email address and then at the combination of last name, first name and date of birth.

If previously created applications are found, the system will provide relevant suggestions.

You can accept these suggestions or, if none of the suggestions match the current applicant, you can enter the person as a new applicant. See also: Create new application.

By default, new applications are created with a check for duplicates (recommended). You can use configuration mode to enable the option Create new application (with no check for duplicates) for display as well.
