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 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; manage workload; monitor Job Seeker progress; or perform recordkeeping tasks.

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

  • Sort or Filter Job Seekers — Organize the list column by key criteria, as displayed in the column header (and outlined in this article, below).
  • View 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).
  • Locate Flagged Job Seekers — The Job Seeker is flagged in the detail; see: Navigate the Job Seeker Detail.
  • Identify "New" Job Seekers — Based on your user credentials, a Job Seeker is marked "New" until you view the associated record.
  • Identify Pass/Fail Result — When an ASSESSMENT is in place for a Requisition, Job Seekers who apply are tagged with a Pass or Fail icon.
  • Perform Bulk Job Seeker Actions — Actions include deleting records or sending Forms to Job Seekers.
