alert if the same candidate applies again

Hello @Edda van der Ende,
Pardon my late reply and Thank you so much for pointing it out! 

I have double-checked this internally and yes, our Product Team confirms that this feature already existed before. I must admit that I was not aware of it myself, otherwise I would have let you know right away. Mea culpa!

How does it work?
In essence, the system gives you a notification as soon as it detects that a person (specifically, a particular e-mail-address) has applied for several positions.

Therefore, I will convert your idea into a question so it is more visible in the Support Area and can help more users.

Warm Greetings,
Daniele

Hi @xtine08, I would probably mention to him in the next email/conversation that “btw, we noticed you have applied twice to us. We will archive the other application as we are processing this one” or similar. 

In my previous company I noticed that some people apply to many positions as they don’t know how big our organization was. Personally I think it’s still good to mention to the candidate that you archive the other application so that he doesn’t wonder what happened to that. :)

And I believe your suggestion of creating “duplicate candidate” as a reason is a very good one.

Hi Personio team,

Unfortunately, the system does not notice if someone apply more than once. On a daily basis, I have applicants who have previously applied for a job that we have closed since then, and then we rejected the applicant. Now the candidate is applying for a new position, but the system does not indicate that he/she has applied for positions in the past. Would be great if we can see when somebody applies again within a half year later.
