# Link a candidate to a job opening

If a candidate applies for a job from a career site, they will be automatically linked to the corresponding job opening. However, when you manually create a candidate in Talenteria, such a candidate is not linked to any job opening yet.

Linking a candidate to a job opening can be used to indicate that the candidate has applied for the job.

To link a candidate to a job opening:

1. Go to **Candidates, Job Openings and Talent Pools** > **Candidates**.
2. On the **Candidates** page, select the name of a candidate to open its details.NoteIf the candidate has already applied for a job, the **Applied** status will be shown next to the candidate name. You can still link such a candidate to a different job opening if necessary.
