Transcript

In this tutorial you will rate applicants and keep notes for your team, private to your hiring team and never seen by candidates. You need the free WP Career Board plugin, installed and active. It takes about three minutes. There are four steps. Open an applicant. Give a rating. Add a note for your team. Then compare applicants. Step one. Open an applicant. You are signed in as an employer. In Applications, click an applicant in the list. Under their name, find Rating and notes. A line says that only your hiring team sees these. Step two. Give a rating. Five stars sit under the heading. You click a star to rate from one to five. This applicant has four stars. Click the same star again to clear a rating. An applicant nobody has rated shows Not rated. Step three. Add a note for your team. Notes already left on this applicant are listed here, with the name of who wrote them. To add one, type in the box under the stars. Then click Add note. Candidates never see ratings or notes. You can delete a note you wrote, with the cross beside it. Step four. Compare applicants. Click another person in the list. Each applicant has their own rating and their own notes. Use the stars to rank people before you shortlist. That is all four. Open an applicant, give a rating, add a note for your team, and compare applicants. You can now rate applicants and keep notes for your team. Next in this series: Search and filter jobs.
