If a job seeker views your position while searching for jobs, they have the options to either Save the Job to their account or Apply for the position.
When a job seeker applies to your position, their information is added to the Applicants section of that position. It is mandatory for a job seeker to upload their Resume to their account before they can successfully apply to any job. Therefore, when a job seeker applies to a position, their resume is appended to their application for the employer to view.
To navigate to the pipeline for a position, follow the steps below:
Step 1.
Select the 'My Jobs' option in the 'Features' section of the sidebar menu to the left of your screen and select 'View Positions'.
Step 2.
There are two (2) ways from the 'View Open Positions' table to access the recruiting pipeline. You can select a job position from the 'Job Title' column, or, select the number, which represent the number of applicants who had applied to the post in the 'Applications' column of the desired job position to view the pipeline.
How the Pipeline works
To the center left of your screen next to the sidebar menu, shows the recruiting pipeline for the job title that you choose. There are seven (7) stages of the pipeline:
- Applicants
- Phone Screen
- Interview
- Testing
- Offer Position
- Hire
- Archive
There are additional features and functions at work on this page, to make your task much easier and more efficient in selecting and moving recruits through the pipeline. The two (2) main features are:
- Applicant Tracking System (ATS) - This intuitive software will sort the hundreds of applications you may receive for a specific job posting. It parses the applicant's resume content into sections then scans (reads) it for specific keywords formulated for the specific job title, and determines if the applicant has met the requirements for the job role.
- Job Requirements - are a set of qualifications and skills necessary to carry out the daily functions and tasks of a job role. You create your own set of job requirements in the form of keywords and phrases for any job by selecting the 'My Jobs' option in the 'Features' section of the sidebar menu to the left of your screen, click on the 'Create Requirements', or click here to 'Create Requirements'.
The ATS software reads the keywords and phrases that you had created for the job title within the applicants' resumes and give them a score between 0% and 100%, which is indicated in the 'Score' column located in the 'Listing Applicants' section.
