When a candidate applies for a vacancy their application goes through the series of selection stages defined for the vacancy. At each stage their suitability for the vacancy is assessed using the set of selection criteria chosen to match the requirements of the vacancy. The result of each stage assessment determines what happens next to the candidate's application. Assessments can be automated or manual.
Assessments are displayed in a table that expands to include each selection stage as it is reached. Select Assess Current Stage to make the current assessment, and to add a new column to the table. The table shows:
-
