Matching Candidates and Requisitions

There are three contexts where candidates and requisitions can be automatically matched.

Matching candidates when posting a requisition: When posting a requisition to an external career section, Recruiting Center users can view candidates who were found to match the requisition they are posting. This feature is available via the Preview Matching Candidates button. This matching is based on matching candidate criteria you have set. When configuring this feature, you have the ability also set an option to send an email to candidates who match the selected requisition. Candidates who have all the Required criteria will receive an email inviting them to apply on the job that is posted (Job Posting Notification). There are also default filters available for matching candidates. Configuring these filters will help the user narrow down or widen the list of matching candidates.

Matching candidates while viewing their candidate file: This is known as a reverse search since Recruiting Center users start with the candidate file and then work back to matching requisitions. This can be helpful when there are two top candidates for a position and one is hired; users can use a reverse search to find another open requisition for the candidate who was not hired. This feature is available via the Add Candidates to Requisition icon. The matching requisitions criteria lets you select criteria that will guide the system on how to match candidates to requisitions.

In a career section, candidates can access jobs that match their preferences: Candidates who have completed a job-specific submission or a general profile can access jobs that match the preferences they have set in their general profile. Jobs that match display on the Personalized Job List. The configuration of the Personalized Job List is done in the Career Section Administration menu. For details, refer to the Career Section Configuration Guide.
