Accessing the APM directly from the Dashboard

Users will now be able to access not only the Candidate List but also the APM (Assessment Process Matrix) directly from the Dashboard. This enhancement increases productivity from the Dashboard and reduces the navigation/clicks required by a user to access these areas of a particular job.

Enhancements to Online Reference Checks

eRecruit’s Online Reference Checks module reduces the time and effort it takes to contact referees and complete reference checks by automating the process through the system.

The eRecruit Online Reference Checks module can will automatically alert candidate-nominated referees via email once a candidate has progressed to a specific stage of the recruitment process. Referees will be asked to complete an online reference form or fill in and upload a form, depending on your preferences. Once completed, reference forms are conveniently stored against the candidate profile. A reference status is provided in the candidate list, allowing users to easily see the progress of reference documents received, and reminder emails can be sent when reference documents remain incomplete.

In this release we have changed the number of referees that can be collected from the set two referees, to a range from one to five referees. The referee details global questions have been split out into individual questions meaning customers can configure the number of referees to be collected per job if required, and can also define which of these questions (if any) are mandatory. This is particularly useful in situations where more references may be required for a particular type of role or certain area of the business, or where further references may be required later on in the assessment process.

These changes will also be reflected in the candidate list, whereby the Reference Request Status will update to reflect the number of references that could be submitted per candidate.

Additionally, also in the Candidate Referee List, located on the Candidate Card, which will reflect the number of referees a candidate has supplied throughout the application and assessment process.
