# Hire Candidate

After all interview stages with a job candidate were completed, the candidate was accessed, and the job offer was sent and accepted, the candidate is ready to be hired. A candidate can be hired earlier, at any stage, if necessary. Hiring a candidate can either launch an on-boarding process or create a new employee.

You can hire a candidate in the HR or Local HR role, but not in the Manager or Recruiting Manager role.

To hire a candidate:

1. In the HR or Local HR role, open the **Candidate Tracking** page (go to **Recruiting** > **Candidates** > **Candidates** or go to **Recruiting** > **Job Openings**, open a job opening, and then click **Candidates**).
2. Next to a candidate you want to hire, click **Actions** > **Hire** (the action is available only for the HR and Local HR roles).  
*NoteTo hire multiple candidates at once, select several candidates, and then click **Batch Action** > **Hire**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673975937161.png)*
3. On the **Process Candidates** page, fill in the following fields:
  - **Set Candidate Status** - Set a candidate status corresponds to the hired candidate. E.g. **Hired** (internal code **ACCEPTED**) *Note**The status title may be different in your case depending on the* [*candidate statuses*](/v1/docs/candidate-statuses) *configured in your Lanteria HR). Candidate status can also be* [*changed*](/v1/docs/manage-candidate-statuses) *at any stage from the **Candidate Tracking** page using the **Change Status** action.*
  - **Notes** - Optionally, type a note about the candidate.
  - **Manager** - Optionally, specify a line manager for the  hired employee.
  - **Generate Letters** - Select an email that will be sent to the candidate if necessary. This option is useful if a candidate is rejected.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673975974094.png)
4. Click **Create Employee** to create a new employee from the candidate or **Start Process** to launch an on-boarding process. If you start an on-boarding process, an employee record will be created upon the process completion.

In case you selected to start a new process, the **OnBoarding** page will be opened where the new starter has been added (the **OnBoarding** page can also always be accessed by clicking **Core HR** > **Processes** > **OnBoarding**).![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673976108889.png)
