Applicant Ranking
What is Applicant Ranking?
Applicant Ranking is the sorting of job applicants based on how well their experience and qualifications meet the requirements stated on a job application during the applicant screening process. You will rank your applicants from the most qualified to the least qualified, giving you an organized list of candidates to work from.
What information helps determine where an applicant is ranked?
An applicant is ranked based on their experience, qualifications, answers to the job screening questions designed to automatically disqualify applicants that don't meet the minimum job qualifications, and your own interactions with them during interviews.
