Offers and Candidate Selection Workflows

Candidate selection workflows may be configured to contain an Offer step or an RSOffer step.

Candidate Selection Workflow and Offer step

Using the Offer step is a simplified way to track offer activity in a candidate hiring process without enabling the entire Offer Management module functionality. Placing this step in a workflow will not enable the use of the Offers tab and Offer Approvals tab. A candidate selection workflow containing an Offer step allows users to move candidates from one step to another using standard actions (Change Step/Status, Move, Revert).

When adding the Offer step to a candidate selection workflow, the following actions are available to users via the More Actions list.

  • Make an offer.

  • Reject candidates.

  • Candidate has declined.

Candidate Selection Workflow and RSOffer step

The RSOffer step is a special candidate selection workflow step created for the Offer Management module. The Offer Management module provides the tools for the creation of offers, offer approval, offer extension to the candidate, and capture of the candidate response. Users are also be able to capture competitive offer information as well as candidate current and future expectations. 

With this type of workflow, instead of moving candidates using standard actions (Change Step/Status, Move, Revert), specific offer-related actions are presented in the More Actions list as they become an appropriate next activity in the Offer process.

System administrators are responsible for adding the RSOffer step in the appropriate candidate selection workflows. The RSOffer step must be placed before the Hire step. The RSOffer step cannot be customized or edited (except for qualifier groups and qualifiers that can be added to specific statuses).

When adding the RSOffer step to a candidate selection workflow, authorized users are able to:

  • Create offers.

  • Extend offers verbally, in writing, and electronically.

  • Send offers.

  • Capture a candidate response.

  • Capture a candidate expectations.

  • Capture a candidate current job terms.

  • Capture competitive offer information.

  • Approve offers.

  • etc.
