Both rules and assessment steps can have ‘weighting’ applied to them to provide additional scoring emphasis. For example, the role you are recruiting for may require a high level of customer service competency. You are able to weight any customer service components of the assessment process so that candidates that score well in this area will achieve a higher overall score.
To add rule weighting:
- On the Assessment Process page, locate the step that you want to apply the rule weightings to.
Add rule weightings to the rules by entering the weighting here.
These weightings are a percentage. The total weighting for this assessment step must add up to 400.
In the above example, the weighting applied to rule 5 (Rate Customer Service) means that the candidate score for this assessment component will comprise 40% of the overall weighting for this assessment step.Note: If all rules are of equal importance, you can enter the rule weighting of 100 to each rule.
Additionally, weightings can be applied to assessment steps using Step Weighting. For example, if the Interview step of the assessment process carries more weight than say, the Reference Check, then this can be weighted accordingly. The total sum of the step weightings must equal 100.
