Assigning a Recruitment Workflow

The importance of assigning a Recruitment workflow is that it steps the applicants through your defined recruitment process automatically, and also allows for correspondence to be automatically sent when an action or point is triggered.

Example: If we had setup our Recruitment Workflow to be a 3 step process. [1. Acknowledge, 2. Interview, 3. Offer]
Jim applies for the vacancy, Jim could receive an automated email Acknowledging that we had received his application. and when utilise the stepping tool and progress Jim's application to the Interview stage Jim may also receive an automated email advising Jim that he has been progressed to the next stage.
Alternatively, we could decline Jim's application and Jim may receive an automated email advising of an unsuccessful application.

1. When setting up a new vacancy we can select an existing recruitment workflow, and before publishing change the workflow to a new or modified workflow if we desire to.
2. To modify or create a new recruitment workflow users should select the Maintenance TAB and then select the Recruitment Workflow folder.

It is important to remember that if you choose to modify an existing recruitment workflow, and this workflow is in use by other Vacancies the workflow will be modified for all vacancies.

Assigning a Hiring manager

The Hiring manager is the person responsible for recruiting the candidate.
The Hiring manager drop down contains all managers and recruiters in the organisation.
If you do not see the person you are looking for in the Hiring manager drop down may have to make them a Manager or add them as a Recruiter.

Selecting a default Interview Panel

The Default Interview Panel automatically advises the selected people that an applicant has been invited for an Interview at a particular date and time.

Using Social Media Option in Vacancy Master File

The Subscribe-HR Recruitment Administration Module allows the person who is logged in, to invite their contacts to apply for the Vacancy they are currently viewing. Once this has been Selected, you can then select the type of Social Media you would like to Share the Vacancy with. As standard we have Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook available.

From here you can select to contact you which to share with either by selecting their profile photo (if they have one), or by typing their name in. This will work in the same manner for Facebook, though the facility whereby you can select your Facebook contacts to invite to apply for a position will be done using a Facebook Pop-up.

Once you have shared this Vacancy with your contacts, there is a referral tracking Tab in the Vacancy Manage tool which will allow you to see how made the referral and if the recipient has applied for the position. This is the automatic Tracking Feature that exists for Linkedin and Twitter. This same feature is available on the Subscribe-HR Recruitment Portal. This allows the public to share Jobs from your portal into Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook.
