To bring back someone who worked for your company before, open their profile in the Worker view and select Rehire. The hire wizard opens as Rehire Employees with their details. Set a Start Date on or after their previous agreement's end date, update anything that changed, and finish with Send Offer or Hire Directly.
Who can do this: People whose permission group includes the hire permission, with profile access that covers the person's office and position. Hire Directly needs the hire directly permission. You can't rehire yourself. Web only.
Rehire someone
Select Worker in the Worker / Admin toggle, find the person (for example in Management > Personnel) and open their profile.
Select Rehire.
The wizard opens with the title Rehire Employees. Check Personal Info, especially their email and phone number, because the offer goes there.
On Agreement, choose a Start Date on or after the end date of their previous agreement. Set Offer Expiry Date and any bonus.
On Organization and the pay steps, update the position, manager and pay if they changed.
In Review & Send, type your name, tick the acknowledgement and select:
Send Offer: the person gets a new offer by email and text to sign and accept.
Hire Directly: hires them right away, skipping approvals (hire directly permission only).
Rehires never go through offer approval, even if your company requires it for new hires: there is no Submit for Approval button in the rehire wizard.
After you send the offer
Follow the rehire on Hiring > Onboarding, the same as a new hire. See After you send an offer: what happens next.
Rehire, New Contract or a new hire?
Situation | Use |
The person left and is coming back | Rehire on their profile. |
The person still works for you and needs a new agreement | New Contract. See Send a new contract to a current worker. |
The person never worked for you | Hire New. See Hire a candidate. |
On the mobile app
You can't rehire in the app. Use the web.
Troubleshooting
No Rehire button: your permission group needs the hire permission and access to the person's office and position. Ask your company admin.
The Start Date you want is blocked: it must be on or after the end date of the person's previous agreement.
