Multi-stage application forms for candidates

• Default Off

• Configuration implementation required

This new feature allows candidates to complete application questions in stages as they progress in the hiring process. It results in reduced initial application form length and improved candidate experience. Also, recruiters can request additional information at relevant stages, and the data collected is written back to the ATS.

Needs addressed

• Organizations need the ability to collect additional, stage-specific information later in the recruiting process.

• This feature allows customers to configure multi-staged applications. In these scenarios, the initial application includes only essential questions, and additional information is requested as the candidate advances through the application stages.

• This feature helps reduce the initial application form length and also allows companies to request for information in later stages which might not be relevant in the primary application stage.

• Candidates also receive email notifications with a link to complete additional questions when required.

Impact on existing workflows

• Currently, this feature is only available for SuccessFactors.

• Candidates will receive an email notification to inform them of action needed.

• Recruiters will see a new column in the job pipeline that shows if a candidate needs to send more information. Stage advancement gets blocked if a candidate hasn't submitted the required additional information.

• This feature doesn't include Job Cart and saving applications as Draft as options for secondary applications.

• Pre-filling of answers for the additional information form uses the answers from the initial application for the same position, not the most recent answers across all applications.

• This feature is currently not available for Talent Tracking.
