The balanceAAP & BALANCEhub upgrades will include the following:

  • The Recruitment Area Wizard has been enhanced so users can apply recruitment area results to selected plans and/or Job Groups.

  • Additional options have been built into the Apps to Hires feature, which is located on the Applicant table, to allow for the export of an Apps to Hires workbook to assist in the reconciliation with the applicant flow and new hires file. Users can now correct the fields for multiple applicant records at a time through various predetermined actions. A user can also import changes made to the Apps to Hires workbook.

  • The DASH summary export has been enhanced to better represent current AAP guidelines and display the data by individual protected classes.

  • User Defined Personnel Actions have been expanded to provide users with the option to choose the source of pool data for the newly created action’s Adverse Impact reports. The new option allows the pool and selected candidates to be contained in a single table, helpful for calculating such as actions as Internal Applicant Flow.

  • The job feeder options, within Internal Availability, have been enhanced to allow job feeders to be read when feeders are being assigned by Job Group. Additionally, the feeder weights options have been enhanced to allow them to be calculated different ways such as by the number of total personnel action movements or by current employment totals.
