Overview
With Indigo Hiring, the daunting becomes a breeze, and we mean that. This is why we've tailored this product to be as flexible as a gymnast, 🤸🏻♀️ ready to bend and twist to fit your unique hiring needs and preferences.
Hiring Preferences
Clicking on the Hiring Preferences tab in the main settings screen will show you a wide range of customisation options. These settings are divided into seven categories: Hiring Pipeline, Screening Questions, Preferences for Applicants' Location, Jobs Reply Automation, Scorecard Configuration, Applicant Information Fields, and Employment Benefits.
This article focuses on three of the seven Hiring Preferences displayed above: Scorecard Configuration, Employment Benefits and Applicant Information Fields.
The remaining four Hiring Preferences are about setting up or managing your Hiring Pipeline. For more information on the pipeline or a detailed description of these configurations, please refer to this article.
If you do not have the necessary permissions to edit these preferences, you will encounter this screen.
About editing Hiring Preferences for existing jobs... 📜
Please note that editing a Hiring Preference as per the instructions below will only affect jobs that are posted in the future. Think of configuring Hiring Preferences as crafting a template on which all future jobs will be modelled.
The above is true for all Hiring Preferences besides Applicant Information Fields.
Instructions on how to edit a particular Hiring Preference for an existing job are available in collapsible sections at the end of each of this article's chapters.
Scorecard Configuration
Indigo Hiring enhances your recruitment process by providing a scorecard feature that displays candidate suitability and rankings at a glance. Essentially, this unique tool enables you to quickly identify the top candidates based on their scores.
In its settings screen, you can add or remove skills that will serve as the optimal hiring criteria for the applicant to be scored in.
To add to the list, the + Add New Skill button is your friend.
Click on the text box of the desired skill to add or edit its name or description.
Rearrange the skills by clicking on the blue area to the left of each entry and dragging it to your preferred position.
To remove a skill, click on the trash can icon on the far right of the entry.
Don't forget to hit Save Changes when ready! 😉
