PERMISSION NAME | PERMISSION DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY |
Requisition: Reviewer |
Enables reviewer to access requisitions and applicants for requisitions for which they are a reviewer. This permission cannot be constrained. Note: This is a dynamically assigned permission that is not available in Security Role Administration. Once a requisition is in a Closed or Cancelled status or if the user is removed as a reviewer, the permission is revoked for the associated requisition. This permission cannot be manually assigned. Note: If an applicant reviewer is removed as a reviewer via the Applicant Profile page, the Requisition: Reviewer permission is revoked for the associated requisition. However, if the reviewer was also added as a reviewer via the General tab when creating, editing, or copying the requisition, the reviewer still appears on the In Review panel as a duplicate reviewer and retains access to the requisition and applicants from the Requisition: Reviewer permission. See Applicant Profile Page Overview for more information about duplicate reviewer instances. |

SHL Assessment Action Item
An Assign SHL Assessment action item is available in the Actions drop-down for portals with an integration with SHL. This options enables recruiters to assign SHL assessments to applicants. The action item displays if at least one SHL Assessment status type is configured with an assessment, even if none of the applicants are currently in a status for which the assessment is configured.
To assign an SHL assessment:
- Select one or more applicants by checking the checkbox to the left of the applicant's name. When batch assigning SHL assessments, the only applicants who can be included are applicants who are in the same status that has an SHL assessment configured for the status.
- Click the Assign SHL Assessment link in the Actions drop-down. This assigns the assessment to the applicants.
If the assessment is successfully assigned, then a confirmation message displays at the top of the page. If the assessment is not successfully assigned, then an error message displays.
Once assigned, the assessment appears in the applicant's My Tasks panel in either Career Center or on the career site.
If configured by the administrator, assigning the assessment triggers the SHL Assessment Assigned email.
