Adding a Column to View Completed Submissions

When configuring list formats, system administrators can add a column, called Submission Completed Date, in requisition-specific candidate lists so that recruiters can view and sort candidate submissions based on the date when a job submission was completed.

Once the column Submission Completed Date is added to a requisition-specific candidate list, the title of the column in Recruiting is displayed as Submission Complete.

Job submissions are considered complete when:

  • A candidate completed a job submission and clicked the Submit button.

  • A candidate (usually internal candidate) refers someone when creating or updating a submission.

  • An agent refers someone when creating or updating a submission.

  • A recruiter matches a candidate to a requisition (when creating a new job submission or when a match is done with an incomplete job submission).

  • An import is done on a job submission.

  • A candidate is hired on a job submission.

This feature was developed to allow recruiters to look through a list of candidate submissions from top to bottom, where the candidate submission on the top is the oldest and the one at the bottom is the most recent. In some companies, this way of screening is mandatory as selection is performed in a first come first serve manner. To do this, the recruiter must see and sort on the submission completion date (ascending order) such that the oldest submissions are displayed on the top and the recruiter goes down through the list one candidate at a time. In addition to this, the correct filter must be activated in order not to include submissions that are not completed.

System administrators should verify if they were using the Submission Creation Date column in list formats to accomplish a behavior similar to the new Submission Completed Date column. If this is the case, it is recommended to use the new Submission Completed Date column instead because the Submission Creation Date column can include candidates that have not completed their submission (either because they saved as draft and never came back or simply because they simply dropped out of the process.

All candidate (submission) list contexts support the new Submission Completed Date column except for the following:

  • All Candidates by Folder

  • All Candidates by Offer

  • All Candidates by Talent Pool

  • Candidate Capture/Possible Duplicates

  • List of automatically pooled candidates

  • Search results/Advanced search

  • Search results/ Conceptual search

  • Search results/ Quick search
