Process Considerations:

• If an internal applicant (current employee) applies for a TAM job opening via the external website (Candidate Gateway), they will appear in TAM as an External Applicant.
• Changing an applicant's record to former employee, when an applicant did not indicated this on their application, will provide the "Rehire" option in the Prepare for Hire and Manage Hires transactions. 
• Do not indicate an applicant as a former employee if they are still employed by UW.  Doing so will cause them to remain designated as "External" and there will not be a "Transfer" option in the Prepare for Hire and Manage Hires transactions.
• Due to a variety of reasons an applicant can be withdrawn from a job opening. 
• If applicants want to change their resume or other attachments after they have submitted their application, they will have to contact the person indicated in the job posting and a UW TAM user can upload it for the applicant.
• An applicant's disposition for a specific job opening can be updated while reviewing applicant activity.
