Application-view improvements

AUTHOR: The Eightfold team

WHAT'S INCLUDED

A set of improvements to the candidate profile's application view, each can be enabled separately.

  • Position-specific resumes: opening a candidate profile from a role's pipeline shows the resume they submitted for that role instead of their most recent one. A picker lists every resume they've submitted, and the role's resume is labelled 'Submitted with application' with its date.

  • Current role prioritized: separately from which resume is shown, the Applications tab pins the application for the role you opened the candidate from to the top of the list, so you're not scrolling to find it.

  • Configurable opening tab: admins can choose which tab the application panel opens on — Information, History, Files, or Attribution.

  • Smarter Files tab: the Files tab now hides on applications that have no files. When files are present, the tab shows the resume submitted alongside any files the candidate uploaded to file-upload questions. A file uploaded more than once appears as a single entry.

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Open a candidate profile from a role's pipeline and see the resume they tailored for it, and switch between their resumes from a picker — the role-specific and most-recent ones are both labelled.

  • Reduce the risk of assessing someone on a resume they wrote for a different job.

Requirements

Position-specific resumes need additional configuration from an admin, and applications that come from PCS or a compatible ATS (SuccessFactors, Workday, or API-based). Also, Enhanced candidate application view should be enabled.

GETTING STARTED

Admins: Position-specific resumes need applications that come from PCS or a compatible ATS, and the feature must be enabled in the Admin Console. Until it's enabled, candidate profiles continue to show the most recent resume. To further configure this feature, read Configure Profile Display settings.

End users: Open a candidate from a role's pipeline and you see the resume submitted with that application, labelled with its submission date; other resumes are available from a picker. The role's application sits at the top of the list, and the panel opens to the organization's default tab. Each application's Files tab lists the submitted resume alongside any files the candidate uploaded to file-upload questions.

Opening a candidate profile from search works as it does today: with no role context, the most recent resume is shown. Where editing is enabled, a pencil on each section header of the Information tab opens an edit view.
