Before extending a candidate to additional shifts, create the new shifts first. See the Edit existing shifts article. Do not publish these shifts if extending an existing candidate.
To extend a vacancy:
- Go to Vacancies and select My Vacancies for your NHS organisation, or Collab Bank for others
- Filter the Vacancies list, open the relevant vacancy, then open the Candidates list by role (e.g. Applied, Approved, Confirmed)
- Use filters to refine candidates; multiple Employment Types and Application Statuses can be selected
- Select one candidate and click Action on Selected > Extend
- In the Extend Candidate box, choose a confirmed shift to base the extension on and click Next
- Select new shifts and click Extend or Extend Send for approval, depending on your permissions
- If sending for approval, select approvers, add notes if needed, and click Send For Approval
The candidate is confirmed for the new shifts, marked as Filled, and their status updates to Confirmed. Completed tasks (e.g. pension questionnaire) need not be repeated, though an extension contract may be required.
Note: If you only have permission to send for approval, the extension applies after approval.
