Complete Step 6: Candidate Process

Follow these steps to complete step 6: Candidate Process.

To complete step 6:

  1. Click D:\Sylvia Files\WIP\TODO\HRsmart\HRsmart Icons\drill down.gif next to the candidate type label that you want to customize.
  2. From the multi-select text box on the left, make your selections then click to add the status to the candidate process for that type.

    The available options are as follows:

    • Résumé Submitted: This status is automatically assigned to any job seeker who submits a résumé to a job. This status MUST be first in the list. If you rename this status to a different term used by your organization (for example, Applied), that term must be the first in the list of statuses in the candidate recruiting process.

    • Candidate: This status is used to indicate that a job seeker is under consideration for a job and is usually the next status after Résumé Submitted. Changing the job seeker’s status to Candidate, adds that job seeker to the table of candidates for the same job.

    • Interview: This status indicates that the candidate already completed or is scheduled for an interview.

    • Offer Extended: This status is manually selected by a recruiting user when the candidate is offered a position in your organization.

    • Offer Accepted: This status can be manually selected by a recruiting user when a candidate accepts an offer, or the system can automatically set the status to this value when the candidate accepts an offer, depending on how your system is configured. For more information, see the note below.

    • Offer Declined: This status can be manually selected by a recruiting user when a candidate rejects an offer, or the system can automatically set the status to this value when the candidate rejects an offer, depending on how your system is configured.

      Note:

      To configure DTM to automatically set the status to Offer Accepted or Offer Declined based on the candidate’s action, you must:

      • Enable the Candidate Automatic Status Change feature (Administration > Global Settings > System Administration > Features > Recruiting > Candidates) to enable the Enable Automatic Status Change check box.
      • Select Offer Accepted or Offer Declined as a status to include in the workflow.
      • Check the Enable Automatic Status Change option that displays below the list of statuses.
    • Offer Rejected by Approver: The system automatically sets the applicant status to this value if the approver rejects the offer.

    • Hired: This status is used to indicate that a candidate’s application is successful, and is now a newly-hired employee in your organization. This can be done manually or automatically when the new hire begins the onboarding process.

    • Removed Self from Consideration: The system automatically sets the applicant status to this value when a candidate withdraws from recruitment process.

    • Rejected: This status is used by recruiting users to indicate that a candidate is no longer being considered for a job.

      Note:

      Only select the statuses that require action from the recruiting user.

  4. Click and to rearrange the sequence of the statuses in the selected status text box.
