Interview plan enhancements

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Eightfold team
  • Default Off (Self-service)

Who: Customer Admins, Recruiters, Schedulers

Requirements: 

  • Interview plans must be enabled

  • Administrators must enable the ‘enable_interview_plan_publish_workflow’ configuration

  • To use role-based skill suggestions, Skills Design must be enabled. Also, positions must be associated with a configured Role in Talent Design

  • To prioritize skills from the Talent Design, enable ‘prefer_role_based_skills’. Admins can further refine recommendations by configuring ‘show_required_calibration_skills’ and ‘show_preferred_calibration_skills’.

What's new: 

  • Standardized Interview Plans: To ensure compliance and consistent candidate evaluation, this update introduces a ‘Publish’ workflow that prevents mid-process changes to evaluation criteria.

  • Role-based skill recommendations: The system now prioritizes skill suggestions from the associated role. This ensures assessments focus on core competencies defined for the role, rather than sourcing keywords used for candidate discovery.

How it works:

  • Publish workflow: Recruiters must select Publish Plan to enable scheduling. Once published, the system locks Skills to test, Feedback forms, and Interview slots to prevent further edits.

  • Skill suggestions: The system checks for an associated role to recommend skills; if no role is found, it falls back to skills defined in the Position Calibration.
