Talent Cubes

Overview

Talent Cubes can be used in both Recruitment (which relate to Applicants) and in Performance (which relate to Employees).

Recruitment Talent Cubes can be created to allow you to capture Applicant details automatically from your Subscribe-HR Jobs Board (Recruitment Portal) and then group them in specific Talent Cubes. Applicants will be added to a Talent Cube (if their attributes match the definitions of the Talent Cube) when they apply for a particular Job or if they send an Expression of Interest through the Subscribe-HR Jobs Board.

Performance Talent Cubes are used to group Employees based on specific attribute definitions related to performance.

In both cases, Applicants/Employees can also be added to Talent Cubes manually (in which case they will appear under the "Copied from IQ Search" Tab in the Talent Cube.

Talent Cubes are set up/created based around definitions. If there is a match between the Applicant/Employee's attributes and the definition, they are then put into the Talent Cube. There are two standard Recruitment Talent Cubes: "Job Alerts" and "Applicants." If you wish to set up any other Talent Cubes (including an individual definition e.g. Expression of Interest), follow the steps below.

Definitions Tab - Setting the Definition of the Talent Cube

The definition is the way you set the fields of interest to capture Applicants or Employees (or assign them to) Talent Cubes based on their matching attributes. Once the definition is created, any Applicants that match it will automatically be assigned to that Talent Cube.

There are two types of "Definitions" in Talent Cubes - Basic and Advanced. The 'Basic' and 'Advanced' options can be toggled at the bottom of the widget (next to the green 'Save' button).

• Select fields: once you've specified which tables you want to search, you can then select which fields within those tables you want to search. You can add as many "Rules" as you like. A Rule is simply a command to search for/query a specific word in a specific field, or a specific parameter related to a specific field.

1. Advanced - advanced definitions allow Users to perform searches against multiple objects in the System, including:

• From the listed Talent Cubes, Select the Talent Cube of interest.

Outlined below is how Users are recorded when they create a Job Alert:

• If a User/Applicant submits a Job Alert, they are recorded in the "Job Alerts" Talent Cube. Please see Job Alerts section of the e-Recruitment set-up document which can be obtained from your account manager.
• A User can submit/sign-up to a Job Alert without being an Applicant.
• An Applicant can sign-up for a "Job Alert" and their record will be saved in both the Applicant "Talent Cube" and a "Job Alert" Talent Cube.
  
• Talent Cube history is also stored against the Applicant Record under "Talent Cube History" (the "Path").
• The "Path" in the Applicant Sub-Folder, records the very first contact that the User/Applicant has with the system. For example, if they are not yet an Applicant, and they sign-up for a Job Alert, this will record them in the "Job Alert" Sub-Folder.
• If they then become an Applicant e.g. they apply for an active Vacancy, the very first contact they had with Subscribe-HR (sign-up for Job Alert) will be recorded as the first entry in their "Path."
• The second entry in their "Path" will be the record of their first Vacancy Application.
• The purpose of the path is to track the entire contact history of each User/Applicant so you can see what type of interactions successfully hired Applicants have with the e-Recruitment with your organisation, all of which is recorded in the System so that you can see the path/process in total.
