Matching candidate criteria are set by system administrators. However, they can be modified by Recruiting Center users to find more relevant requisitions for a particular candidate.

Matching criteria (except for competencies and questions) can be set as desired or required:

  • Required: The criterion is mandatory. A match must exist between the content of the candidate file and of the requisition file. If a requisition file meets the criterion, it will appear in the list of requisitions presented to the user.

  • Desired: The criterion is an asset. A match is not required between the content of the candidate file and of the requisition file. Desired criteria are considered as a plus. A requisition file that does not match a desired criterion is not rejected.

Requisition files that meet all the required criteria and that also meet some desired criteria will appear at the top of the requisitions list presented to the user. Competencies and questions criteria are considered as wildcards. If these criteria are not selected as required in the requisition, or if a candidate does not enter answers for these criteria, the answers will still be considered.
