Reviewing and updating job applications

When internal and external candidates apply for a job, they can make changes to their preferences and talent profile. These changes are valid only for the job application and do not update the original candidate preferences and talent profile. When the job application is submitted, recruiters can make changes to the talent attributes, which apply only to the job application.

Once a job application is submitted, all activities related to the job application are tracked on the job application record.

Note: 

For hiring manager processes related to job applications, see the Infor HR Talent Manager Guide.

    Fit Analysis

    The system automatically calculates the percent fit when the job application is created. The percent fit displays on top right corner of the job application form.

    If you make changes to the talent attributes, you can recalculate the percent fit.

    1. Click > Recalculate Fit.

      The system refreshes the page.

      The fit percent displays at the top of the page, followed by a spider graph comparing the position's skills and competencies' requirements with the candidate's qualification. Click Graph to view the same information as a bar or pie graph.

    2. Scroll down to view the list of the position's essential or essential and non-essential qualifications included in the percent fit calculation. For each included qualification, the system displays a red alert with the comment "No Match" or a green alert with the comment "Match". The percent fit is derived by dividing the number of qualifications that match by the total number of qualifications included in the calculations.

      Note:
