Longlist overview

Understand how to add the longlist component to the Vacancy Lightning page and display it for an active vacancy in Sage People.

Tip If you need to add the longlist tab to your org, you need to add the Visual Source page VacancyLonglist. If you've already added the longlist but it's not displaying candidates, check you've added the right component. It's likely you've added the Recruit Vacancy Longlist component, but you need the correct VisualForce page.

Searching for people to fill vacancies typically starts with a broad field of candidates, progressively filtered to identify the best fit. Sage People now supports a candidate longlist of prospects to fill a vacancy. The longlist is an intermediate stage between initial search results and a candidate shortlist. This feature integrates with AI Matching.
