Most HR departments will post a job posting with a closing date. When the closing date has been reached the posting is no longer visible on the Applicant Centre.
The manager may now start the reviewing process: however, the review/interview process can start at any time as long there is at least one applicant has applied.
Tracking of the applicants for a job position is done on the Job Posting screen.
▪Select the HCM menu. ▪Select the Job Postings menu.
When an applicant has applied for a position the number in the Applicants column will increases. In the example below we now have three people applying for the position. We are also using both the Profile-based Criteria and Custom Criteria as well as a Text Question.
Click on the number in the Applicants column to view the applicants for this posting. On the Applicant window, the columns to the right of the Applicants provide the information they completed on the Applicant Centre. The Resume column shows the resume the applicant submitted when they applied. However, they may have multiple resumes you can view from the applicant screen under the Resume column.
Use the Descending sorting options to list the applicants in the order you would like to view them. Since we are rating the applicant to find the best one, we have selected Profile-based, then Custom Criteria. This will give us the ranking based on their education, skills etc. followed by their answers to our questions.
The applicants are now listed with the Best Fit applicant first.
To review the actual rating click on the rating values. Select the green star to view the Profile-based Criteria rating.
For the Custom Criteria click on the orange star. The applicant's answers are indicated with a green check mark.
To view the applicant's response to the text question.
▪Click on the Text Question icon.
In the pop-up window you will be able to view the applicant's response.
Once you have decided to invite applicant for an interview follow the directions given in the Create an Interview section.
