Activities in Top Echelon Recruiting Software

In this article, we’ll review creating and managing Activities within Top Echelon Recruiting Software. Activities can be created for anything you do to run your desk, and can be attached to People, Company, or Job Order records. They’ll help you keep track of your daily notes, conversations, and events.

Activities can be logged to document completed actions such as phone conversations, emails, etc. They can also be used to schedule follow-ups or reminders for future dates/times as well. All of your scheduled and completed activities will flow to your Planner, where you can manage them day-to-day.
