Step 5: Review Candidates
Reviewing Your Candidates
The recruiter assigned to your job will perform a preliminary review of the Candidates who have applied to the job or been associated with your job because they are already in the Candidate pool and have been discovered and reviewed by your recruiter and determined to be a top Candidate. Your recruiter will either dismiss a Candidate (returning them to the general pool) or send them on for further evaluation by you, the Hiring Manager.
When a recruiter has moved a Candidate forward for further evaluation by you, their status will change, and you will receive an email notification that they are ready for your review.
You can then go into Salesforce and search for that Candidate and their supporting documents (resume, transcripts, etc.).
The Candidate profile is where you can review each individual Candidate.
This profile is accessible in several ways: from the Job Applications tab, the Candidates tab, or when a particular Candidate is sent to your attention by a recruiter. In fact, anywhere you see a name highlighted, you can click through to the Candidate Profile.
Candidate Profile
From this page, you can see all the information related to this Candidate in order to evaluate them.
Along the top of the page is a quick view of where the Candidate is in the process. In this instance, the Candidate is in the New stage.
Below are the tabs that allow you to access more information.
From the Files tab, you can download resumes and other documents associated with a Candidate. Click on any of the highlighted documents to download them.
When you click on a file, the following screen will appear. Click the Download button at the top.
A file window will appear.
Choose a file location based on your preferences and Save.
The file will also appear at the bottom of your browser window.
To close this view, click the ‘X’ in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.
Another way to manage a Candidate is the Job Applications tab at the top of your Dashboard. On the right side of each record is an arrow. The Edit button will get you to the page where you can take Step 6: Managing Individual Candidates.
After reviewing an applicant’s resume, you must update the Stage of their Application.
Within the Candidate’s profile, you can see all the positions the Candidate has applied to.
Identify the Job you are filling and Edit to manage the specific Job Application.
From this screen, you will move the Candidate through the Stages of the Job Application process.
