Support in Decision-MakingThe system supports decision-making by means of two successive steps. The two steps are normally performed by different people (e.g. line manager and personnel officer) and can be repeated any number of times in the course of the selection procedure.
Making decisions and recording them in the system (Line manager)
In this step you create a list of all the applicants who are assigned to a particular vacancy and who have a certain vacancy assignment status (e.g.
Processing
) for this vacancy. You can then display a short profile containing the most important data on each applicant in the list as well as the archived application documents. If you come to a decision on the applicant's suitability on the basis of this information, you can document this by changing the applicant's vacancy assignment status (to
Invite
, for example).
Note
The selection procedure for particular vacancies can also be performed in
Manager’s Desktop.
Manager's can use this component to make decisions relating to the selection procedure and represent them. An automatic e-mail connection informs the HR department of the administrative tasks that they must carry out. For more information, see
Manager’s Desktop
.
Carrying out the follow-up activities (Personnel officer)
This step also begins with creating a list of applicants. This list contains all the applicants assigned to the same vacancy as that in the previous step and who all have the same status for this vacancy (e.g.
Invite
), specified in the previous step. You can then carry out all the follow-up activities required for this vacancy assignment status (e.g. changing the overall status, creating actions such as
Mail invitation to interview
and
Appointment for interview
) via the list.
