New Applicant Tracking System Features at Standout Jobs
Imported 9 months ago. See original articleStandout Jobs has recently released a number of applicant tracking system related features.
1. Pick whether or not to use the Standout Jobs applicant tracking system.
This is the first option available. You can use our built-in applicant tracking and candidate relationship management system or pick one of the other two options, which include:
- send applications via email
- send applications to a custom URL
If you select to send applications via email, you input the email addresses just below. Incidentally, you can forward applications via email even if you’re using our applicant tracking system, if you’d like.
If you select to send applications to a custom URL, then an “Apply URL” field appears when posting a job. You must input something into the Apply URL field so that when someone clicks “Apply for this job” it redirects appropriately. A good example of this is Ericsson’s career site where users are redirected to Ericsson’s applicant tracking system.
2. Enable EEO compliance.
When turned on, EEO compliance adds two additional fields to the apply form on a career site - asking applicants to submit their race and gender. Neither field is required, but this is information that some companies do need to track. In our applicant tracking system, when setting someone to “Hired” status, you can also add/edit this information.
3. Allow applications when a job is inactive.
This is a decision that you can make - whether or not you want people to apply for a job once it’s set to inactive. Jobs are never removed from a career site - they add too much valuable content for SEO, etc. - but you can set a job to inactive and make sure people can (or can’t apply.)
Jobs will be clearly marked as archived, and if you’ve turned off applications a message will appear at the bottom of the job as well. To keep people interested in your company and available jobs, just display the Jobs widget or highlight a single job on these archived jobs pages.
