In Cinode, you can easily convert an existing employee profile into either a Candidate or a Subcontractor. This feature is useful when a person is no longer employed but still collaborates with your organisation in another capacity.


Step-by-step Guide

  1. Navigate to the Employee List: Go to Administration > Users.

  2. Locate the Employee: Scroll through the list or use the Search function to find the employee you wish to convert.

  3. Click the three-dot menu to the far right of the employee’s name.

  4. Select “Convert”: In the dropdown menu, click Convert.

  5. Choose Conversion Type: A pop-up window will appear. You now have two options:

    • Candidate – Select this if the person will be considered for future assignments or employment opportunities.

    • Subcontractor – Choose this if the person will continue working on a freelance or contractual basis.

Note: You can only choose one type per conversion. If needed, the profile can be converted again later.


Important Notes

  • Converting an employee does not delete their profile—it simply reclassifies their status.

  • You can always reverse or reassign a user as needed.
