Run Screening on Applicant Pool

Overview

This document explains how to Run Screening on an Applicant Pool in M-Pathways Human Resource Management System (HRMS) - Recruiting.

Important Information

• The screening functionality helps manage large pools of Applicants.
• To view instructions on setting up screening questions, see Create a Job Opening.
• It is recommended you wait to run screening until after the job opening is removed from the Careers website.
• You may continue to run screening with new Applicants until you have your final applicant pool. DO NOT click “Apply Results” until you have your final applicant pool. Clicking “Apply Results” updates the job opening dispositions of all Applicants and does not include those Applicants in any future screening runs.
• You may run the screening process for any job opening; however, point values are only calculated for those Screening Types (General Requirements, Education & Experience, and Accomplishments) that you designated to Use in Screening.
• For additional details on screening Applicants and user guidelines, see Using Screening in eRecruit – User Guidelines.
