Refer to that guide for the full steps on sharing a candidate from a Placement Job or directly from a Client Profile.   Let’s get started 🚀 ### **Alert for an Existing Candidate-Client Match** **Note:** Apply this process when attempting to share a candidate with a client via a Placement Job if a match between both parties has already been established.  **Step 1**: Log in to the agent dashboard and click **Placement Jobs** from the navigation bar. ![image2](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Other/Confirmation%20Alert%20for%20Existing%20Client%20Matches/image2.jpg?width=670&height=125&name=image2.jpg)   **Step 2:** Locate the placement job you want to share a candidate from, then click the **View Applicants** button. ![image6](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Other/Confirmation%20Alert%20for%20Existing%20Client%20Matches/image6.png?width=670&height=417&name=image6.png) **Step 3:** Click the **Share with Client** button under the Actions column next to the candidate profile. ![image5](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Other/Confirmation%20Alert%20for%20Existing%20Client%20Matches/image5.png?width=670&height=321&name=image5.png)   **Step 4:** If this candidate is already matched with the client, an alert appears letting you know a match already exists between the two, instead of opening the sharing form. Selecting **No** closes the popup and brings you back to the applicants list. ![image8](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Other/Confirmation%20Alert%20for%20Existing%20Client%20Matches/image8.png?width=670&height=236&name=image8.png) **This helps prevent duplicate candidate-client matches when a relationship already exists between the two.**   ### **Viewing and Updating Existing Matches** To review or modify a match that already exists, follow these steps: **Step 1:** Click **Yes** on the alert modal. ![image4](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Other/Confirmation%20Alert%20for%20Existing%20Client%20Matches/image4.png?width=670&height=237&name=image4.png)   **Step 2:** The sharing form will open automatically. ![undefined-Sep-30-2026-11-59-12-0712-AM](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-30-2026-11-59-12-0712-AM.png?width=670&height=313&name=undefined-Sep-30-2026-11-59-12-0712-AM.png) **Step 3:** You can review and update an existing match by navigating to the **client’s profile**, selecting the **Admin tab**, and clicking on **Matches**. **![image1](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Other/Confirmation%20Alert%20for%20Existing%20Client%20Matches/image1.png?width=670&height=302&name=image1.png)** You are all set! The candidate-client matches will start appearing in the Matches section.  ![undefined-Sep-30-2026-11-59-11-6243-AM](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-30-2026-11-59-11-6243-AM.png?width=670&height=287&name=undefined-Sep-30-2026-11-59-11-6243-AM.png)    From here, you can update the relationship status, **show or hide the candidate** from the client using the eye icon, and download the candidate’s shareable profile as a **PDF.**   -
