On this page, you can:

  • View open positions for which you are a reviewer
  • Access the requisition details page for each requisition
  • Access the Manage Applicants page for each requisition
  • Access the Interview Manager page to view your interview dashboard

Applicant Details Note: Details for each applicant, including resume, PDF version of the application, applicant status, etc. can be viewed from the Manage Applicants page and the Applicant Details page.

Manage Applicants Deprecation: Cornerstone is deprecating Manage Applicants in Q1 2024.

To access the Review Applicants page, go to Recruit > Review Applicants.

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.

My Interviews

For reviewers who are configured as an interviewer for a requisition, a My Interviews link is added above the Open Positions table. Clicking the link opens the Scheduled Interviews tab of the Interview Manager page, providing quick access to the page for reviewers. The number of interviews associated with the reviewer displays in parentheses to the right of the link. The number is calculated by adding the total number of interviews for which the reviewer is scheduled on the current date plus the total number of interviews for which the reviewer is scheduled on a future date plus the total number of the interviewer's incomplete interviews.

Note: When accessing the Interview Manager page from the Review Applicants page, the My Interviews option on the Interview Manager page is checked by default, and the Requisition Interviews option is unchecked by default.

Note: An incomplete interview is an interview that occurred in the past for which the interviewer has not yet submitted a recommendation.

Requisitions Table

The table displays all requisitions for which the user is designated as an Applicant Reviewer.

However, if the shortlisting functionality (for hiring managers and applicant reviewers) is enabled for the portal, then there must be at least one applicant in a Review status type in order for the requisition to display. Applicant reviewers only have to access applicants when the applicants are in the Review status type. Further, once they have reviewed the applicant, the applicant will no longer appear on their Review Applicants page. Note:This functionality is deprecated. It is not be turned on for any new customers.

Up to 20 requisitions appear per page. All columns are sortable except Owner.

The following columns display in the Open Positions table:
