Candidates
A candidate is a person who is in consideration for a promotion or job opening in the organization. Candidates may consist of internal employees or external applicants who have taken the Staff Assessment survey (or have been invited to complete it).
In addition to promotions and job hiring, assessments also have the capacity to help determine the best skills for a candidate to work on improving for their own professional development.
The Candidate list is displayed upon logging into the Staff Assessment system, The candidate list, by default, is sorted by date, so the newest candidates show at the top of the list. From here, you can click a name to view their Details page and work with their survey, run development or selection reports, and work with their information however necessary.
The Home and Candidates pages both show the status of the most recent candidates in the system. Both pages offer some basic modification options.
Using the Search field, you can query and pull up the records of a specific candidate, or all candidates who were entered into the system during a specific date (or date range). In addition to the basic information, their survey status is displayed alongside their name, telling you at-a-glance where their survey stands.
Assessment Survey Status
The candidates’ survey status is represented by an icon in the left-most column of the Candidates table. The icon present tells you whether a candidate has completed a survey, if it has been graded (by generating a report), and (if it has been graded) the category of job the report was tailored to.
The status of the candidate's assessment survey is conveyed by the icon shown in the leftmost column.
