If a third party vendor is chosen to request background reports for the applicants, the user will have the ability to select the appropriate background reports based on the contact the company has with the vendor. Depending on the vendor, there may be another window that appears to allow the user to log into the vendor's website to choose the needed background reports.

The report will download to your device. Depending on your device, your downloaded file message may look differently. Open the file to review and/or print.

Click on Review Checklist to go to the Review Pre-Qualification Checklist screen. The checklist items are populated based on the settings in Settings > Checklists > Prequalification Checklist.

Enter the Process Date and Status fields when the user and applicant complete the various checklist items. Click Save when all the process dates have been completed for the pre-qualification checklist items. 

This checklist doesn't need to be completed all at once.  If some of the items have been received but some are still in process, this area can be used to keep track of what has and has not yet been completed.  The applicant is not moved forward or removed from the hiring process until the Ready to Qualify or Reject links are clicked on the prior page.

Qualifying Applicants for Hire

When the applicant is ready to be moved to the Hiring Authority, click Ready to Qualify.

clipboard_eb902e5990d1c33f929ab6c86367a055b.png

 

The user will then be directed to a Qualify Applicant pop-up.  Click Yes to move the applicant to the Hiring Authority. If they should not be qualified yet, click No.

Note: Once Yes is selected here, the recruiter will no longer be able to view the applicant through hiring process alerts (in the Alert Center > Applicants tab). This is because the applicant has moved to the Hiring Authority alerts. The applicant will only be able to be viewed in the alerting process/Ready to Hire tab if the user has hiring authority roles.
