A submittal connects a candidate and job within a client-review workflow. It helps the agency track the submission and subsequent interview, offer, and outcome events associated with that specific requirement.
What it represents
Holding a resume or adding a candidate to an internal list does not establish that the person has been submitted to a client. The recruiter must complete the applicable review and package requirements and record the actual event through the approved process.
In a fictional hospital example, a nurse can be a promising match while a start-date question remains unresolved. The submittal should not imply that the candidate accepted the date or that the client approved the person. Those facts need their own evidence.
Maintaining the record
Keep status aligned with real client and candidate events. Record required reasons for negative outcomes and preserve any conditions attached to acceptance. Check the saved result after a change. Use the submittal guide for the full workflow and the document guide when a submission package needs supporting files.
