We use a “time from last activity” based system for rules of engagement (150+ users) - since we don’t love the concept of “owning” candidates, for us, we create a 2 week buffer with a “look before you leap policy”.
For example, if the message from 2 weeks was a “thanks but not right now” we’d ideally suggest continuing to wait to solicit.
However, if it was a no-response, that’s where having certain rules align.
A less is more approach is how we delineate, and for “credit” we always default to the question “who shared the candidate with the HM” - that way, no matter if a candidate ends up being referred or applying later, we can see the initial source of “shared”
Hi
In the meantime, I’d love to hear from other Eightfold clients what they’re doing to solve for this right now. We’ll be doing a mass promotion of the Community in about a week or two from now which will bring a ton of new members into the Community. Hoping to get more responses from other at that point. Thanks for bringing this one up.

The fewer rules, the better. In the end, every talent/candidate should get the job in the company to which he or she fits best and has the most desire. Offering an alternative job to a candidate who is still in the process is therefore actually top! The only one who finds this stupid is the Hiring Manager of the original position. BUT he has simply taken too much time. And as long as it is the own company, there is no real financial damage. #FreedomofJobChoice
Thanks for the feedback,
