Candidate Duplicate Check Settings
Once configured, the settings you have applied work as an AND query, so it will look for all factors being the same to determine if it is a duplicate - for example if you have configured to check the names 'all letters', 'email address' and 'mobile telephone number', then if the Candidate, registering / applying for a job or being added via Outlook Extensions has exactly the same firstname + surname AND email address AND mobile telephone number as an existing Candidate record, they are considered a duplicate.
