A mandate represents one active recruitment search and owns its candidate pipeline.
Create a mandate
From Job Pipeline, choose Create Mandate. Enter the role title and client company using stable names rather than temporary notes. Save the mandate to create its pipeline.
Open the pipeline
The mandate card displays the candidate count and links directly to its pipeline. Candidate records remain associated with the mandate as they move between stages.
Use active and archived states
Keep open searches active. Archive a mandate when the search is closed or intentionally paused and routine work should stop. Before archiving, review scheduled messages and close candidate communication appropriately.
