View the Job Seeker List and Screen Applicants

On entry to Job Seekers, the first column to the left houses the Job Seeker list. This list column serves as the "jumping off" point to peruse through the records of individual applicants. Each Job Seeker will be associated with one or more Requisition Numbers, indicating the job opening(s) to which he or she applied.

Quick Tip: Because each of balanceTRAK's two main modules offer ways to view Job Seekers, consider which module works best for the immediate need:

  1. Requisitions — Begin on the Requisition detail > Summary tab to obtain a Job Seeker list that is already narrowed to the particular job opening or even, a subset of Job Seekers who applied.

    2. VERSUS

  2. Job Seekers — Although the Job Seeker list offers a Requisition filter, visit this module to look at the wider applicant pool, or to focus on an individual applicant.

Learn about Key Job Seeker list Features

BalanceTRAK tools 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, monitor Job Seeker progress/workload, or perform recordkeeping tasks.

Identify Job Seekers

Some of the list's key features are designed to help you identify:

  • Job Seeker Subsets — Sort the list column by key identifiers (e.g., Name, Application Date). Or fine-tune the list with filters (e.g. Job Seeker Stage, Requisition), as outlined below.
  • Keyword Match Scores — When Keywords are in place to score resumes, the percentage result will be indicated in a green box, by Job Seeker Name / Requisition (applied to).
  • Flagged Job Seekers — The Job Seeker is flagged in the detail; see: Navigate the Job Seeker Detail.
  • NEW Job Seekers — Based on your user credentials, a Job Seeker is marked "New" until you view the associated record.
  • Pass/Fail Result — When an ASSESSMENT Form is in place for a Requisition, the Job Seeker will be tagged with a Pass or Fail icon.

Perform Bulk Actions

From the list, you can also Perform Bulk Job Seeker Actions, such as updating Job Seeker Disposition or sending Forms.

Quick Tips: While working in the Requisition drop-down, type the last part of the Requisition number in the Search bar to be prompted with a match. Another option is to increase the menu's Page Size to a larger number, or: Show All.

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

  • Not Dispositioned
