Recruiting Usability Enhancements | Recruiting Usability Enhancements |
With this enhancement, the following usability improvements are made throughout the Applicant Tracking System:
|
|
Remove LinkedIn from Search My Network | Remove LinkedIn from Search My Network | With this enhancement, internal users will no longer be able to search their LinkedIn network for potential matches and refer them for open job requisitions. Referral Preferences and the Refer Jobs page in Career Center are updated to remove the option. In addition, the LinkedIn applicant details on the Resume/CV Review page are updated, and the applicant's photo no longer displays. | |
Selection in Custom Reports | Selection in Custom Reports | Automatically enabled if using Selection. Contact Sales or Client Executive to purchase Selection. |
Organizations with integrated Selection need to get a prioritized mix of candidates for their positions. This typically this translates to roughly 40% Green, 30% Yellow, and 30% Red candidates (GYR) based on the Selection assessment score for a given position. When the percentage of one of the bands is "too high" or "too low," filling new openings with the best candidates can be difficult, and the benefits of prioritization are lost. In addition, organizations would like the ability to combine Selection data with internal datasets. This enhancement provides the key reporting necessary to understand whether GYR applicant distributions are on target or need adjustment, as well as schedule regular data exports to support independent analyses. For portals with the Selection functionality enabled, this enhancement adds Selection section to custom Recruiting reports to enable reporting on Selection data. The scores and assessment fields that are available for the report are pulled from the Detailed Results page. |
