Reviewing Applicant Screenings in TAM

Overview

Screening applicants involves running a process that evaluates all of the applicants for a job opening against the criteria created for the Minimum and/or Preferred Qualifications.
After the process is run, you can review the screening results for all of the applicants. The results include a pass/fail indicator and a score. You can also see the recommended disposition for each applicant. By applying the results, you can update the applicants' dispositions according to those recommendations.

Process Considerations:

  • All Screening Levels can be reviewed at any point in the process.
  • Once the screening process is completed and an applicant who did not meet the screening requirements is reviewed again, other applicants should be reconsidered again as well to ensure equitable treatment of all applicants.
