Learn about Key Job Seeker list Features

Tools for organizing this list will help you refine the full registry of Job Seekers and hone in on relevant information, whether the task at hand is to locate Job Seekers who stand out, manage HR workload, monitor Job Seeker progress, or perform recordkeeping or other administrative tasks.

The list's key features are designed to help you:

  • Sort or filter Job Seekers, based on key criteria (e.g., Application Date, Keyword Score, New, Job Seeker Stage, Silver Medalist) — as outlined in this article, below.
  • View the Job Seeker's Resume Keyword Match Score (as shown in a green box), by Requisition, where Keywords are in place.
  • Quickly located Job Seekers who have been flagged.
  • Perform Bulk Job Seeker Actions (e.g., Delete records, Send forms to Job Seekers).

The second drop-down menu will display default Requisition options for all Requisitions (by number) that are Open. To limit the display by Requisition attributes, expand the drop-down and check off selections for:

  • [Requisition Number]

    • AND / OR

  • Category of: Open, Closed, or Open & Closed

The final drop-down filter will display the default option to show: All Disposition Codes. Limit the display to particular codes by expanding the menu and checking off one or more options. Some typical choices, depending on software Implementation, include:
