Using the Reviews feature is a great way to give your candidate a rating that in itself isn't tied to a specific role.
All the ratings that you give the candidates using the review feature are overall ratings for the candidate. You could think of it as a rating based on how good of a fit the candidate is for your company. It can be good to keep this in mind as the same candidate profile is the same when the candidate has applied to several jobs.
To add a review, head to the candidate in question and click on Add review underneath their name.
Here, you will be prompted to add your overall impression of the candidate, but also rate the candidate using stars to show how good of a fit they would be for the company. Select the star rating that fits your review of the candidate, you also have the option to leave a comment. Leaving a comment can give a further description of why you think the candidate deserves that rating. A good idea seeing as recruiters in other processes will be able to see this rating as well.
All submitted reviews will be available by clicking Read reviews underneath the candidate name and in the Activity log.
💡 When a candidate has received several ratings from different recruiters the overall rating is summarized underneath the candidate's name. In this case, you see the average of one 5-star rating and one 4-star rating.
The candidate ratings are also visible in the Candidates tab if that column is enabled. The ratings can be used as filters both in your candidate bank and in a job process.
Settings
Each star rating has a default description. Set your own description for each rating by going to Settings → Recruitment → Ratings.
