It’s no secret that hiring managers have a lot on their plates and not enough time in the day to tackle it all. BerniePortal’s Applicant Tracking System aims to help HR hire top talent, without sacrificing valuable time. We recently made some small updates to this feature that have a big impact on efficiency.
We updated the progress bar, seen at the top of each candidate’s profile. Not only is it larger for easier viewing, but we also made each button clickable to quickly advance candidates to the next step of your hiring process.
Each of these hiring steps—represented by the blue bubbles—is completely customizable to your company’s hiring process. For example, if your company is working remotely due to the pandemic and isn’t doing in-person interviews, you can update your hiring process to reflect that.
Let’s say you interviewed a great candidate who just wasn’t right for that particular role, and you want to consider them for a future opening on your team. You can update their candidate profile to say “Decline/ Keep in Mind” instead of just “Declined”. This is a great tool if you know you’ll have job openings in the near future and will want to see if you have any leads from past interviews.
The new Previous/Next Candidate tool makes screening through applicants more efficient. If you want to quickly get a glance at the applicants you have for a particular opening, you can click through them in the upper right-hand corner. You can also search for a specific candidate if you’re prepping for a phone interview and want to save time by not shuffling through all applicants.
Is your company not yet using an Applicant Tracking System? Here are some other ways hiring managers can utilize this feature:
