Chapter 4: Applicant Skills and Tests
Use the Applicant Skills window to enter and retrieve information about
your applicants’ skills, such as skill proficiences and comments. You can
query applicants’ skills and continue to narrow the list of eligible applicants
for a position by completing a sub-query.
Because applicants have all types of training, education, skills and work
experience, pre-employment testing can be a good way to make
comparisons between applicants. The Applicant Tests window allows you
to enter and store information about applicant tests, such as the date the
tests were taken and the test scores received.
Skill and test records for any applicants that you hire using the Hire
window will be transferred automatically to the employee skill and test
records.
This information is divided into the following sections:
- Adding an applicant skill record
- Modifying or deleting an applicant skill record
- Querying applicant skills
- Creating an applicant skills sub-query
- Adding an applicant test record
- Modifying or deleting an applicant test record
Adding an applicant skill record
Use the Applicant Skills window to assign skills to applicants. Skills must
be part of a skill set to be assigned to an applicant. For more information,
refer to Defining a skill and Creating a skill set in Chapter 4, “Applicant Skills
and Tests,” of the Human Resources Installation and Setup manual.
