DocuSign Candidate Documents

On the Candidate Self-Service site, candidates can electronically sign candidate documents using the DocuSign service on condition the DocuSign integration is enabled and configured.

Documents that were sent from Lanteria HR for the candidate to DocuSign are displayed on the My Documents page on the Candidate Self-Service site. Only documents in the PDF or Word format with the correct sign here tag anchor string can be sent for electronic signature. If a document is sent for signature in the Word format, after it is signed, it will be converted into the PDF format.

To DocuSign a document

1. Log in to the Candidate Self-Service.
2. On the home page, click My Documents. This page displays all candidate documents that were sent to be DocuSigned from the Candidate Documents page on the candidate card in Lanteria HR. If the document title was specified when uploading the document on the candidate card, it will be displayed on the Candidate Self-Service. Otherwise, the file name will be used as the document title.
3. Click Sign Document next to the document you want to sign. This will open the document on the DocuSign site.
4. Select the I agree to use electronic records and signatures check box (done only once), and then click CONTINUE.
5. Review the document you are going to sign, and find the signature location marked with the icon.
   
   Note

   Next to the icon, there may be some text, such as "sign here" in this example. This text can be different depending on the DocuSign Integration settings in Lanteria HR. This tag defines where the button to sign the document will be added (and then replaced with a signature after the document is signed). Also, when preparing a document for electronic signature, this text (tag) can be hidden if necessary by changing its font color to make it the same as the background.
   The same applies to the "signature date" tag, which defines where the date of the electronic signature will be automatically added as soon as you sign the document. The date tag is optional.
6. Click the icon.
7. In the Adopt Your Signature window, on the Select Style tab, in the Preview pane, you can see how the signature will look like. The style is based on your full name and initials.

You can change the suggested style by clicking Change style in the top right corner of the preview pane and select a different signature style if necessary.

Alternatively, on the Draw tab, you can draw your signature.

8. Click ADOPT AND SIGN to sign the document.
9. Click FINISH to complete applying your signature to the document.

The status of the document becomes Signed.

This status will also be displayed on the Candidate Documents page in the Sign Status field on the candidate card in Lanteria HR.

Email notification

Lanteria HR can be configured to send an email notification to a candidate to sign a document through DocuSign. By default, email notification is not sent. If you want to have this possibility, please contact Lanteria HR support to request such an option.

If email notification is configured, the candidate receives an email with a link to review and sign the document through DocuSign.
