JOB POSTER: How do I Review Applicants?

Edited

This article is for Job Posters who want to know how to review, shortlist, and pass applicants for a job post on Staff Me Up. Once your job is live, you will begin to see applicants that you can review, pass, or shortlist.


Review

Once your job is live, you'll start to see applicants for your review. You can choose to Pass or Shortlist a candidate, but those you don't select an option for will remain in the "Review" section. To see all applicants, click on the "Review" tab.

Applicant profiles will be displayed in a simplified view, with their top three credits highlighted. To view their full Staff Me Up profile, simply click on their name. At the bottom of the simplified profile, you'll see if they have matching credits and if their location matches the job requirements.

Some profiles may have "PROMOTED" at the top. This indicates that the user is a Premium subscriber who has chosen to promote their profile to stand out. Staff Me Up does not promote profiles to suggest that one applicant is better than another.

Pass

When you "Pass" on an applicant, they will not be notified. If you change your mind later or want to see who you've passed on, you can view them by selecting "Pass".

  1. Click on the job position.

  2. Click on the "Pass" tab to view the list of applicants you have passed on.

  3. You will see an option to "Shortlist" these candidates if you decide you want to move them out of the "Pass" category.

Shortlist

When you select "Shortlist" for an applicant, you are adding them to a separate list of finalists you may want to contact for interviews. You can add as many candidates as you'd like to this list. Please note that applicants are notified when they have been shortlisted.

To view your shortlisted applicants, click on the "Shortlist" tab. You will notice that there are toggle arrows next to each applicant's name. This tool allows you to reorder applicants by dragging them up or down, so you can rank your top applicants.

Share Shortlist

You can also share your shortlist with someone else.

  1. Click on "Share Shortlist".

  2. Type in the email address of the person you want to share the list with. A link will be sent to their inbox with the list of shortlisted applicants in the order you set.

The recipient does not need to have a Staff Me Up account or log in to view the list. While a candidate is notified when they are shortlisted, they will not be aware of how you have ranked them on your list.
