You can use this process to rank candidates based on the responses they provided to questions in a specific questionnaire. The process includes questionnaires that were completed as part of
Talent Relationship Management
(TRM) or a
succession plan
.
Questionnaires contain questions and possible responses. Ranking points are defined for each possible response. The candidate completing the questionnaire thus receives a certain number of points (or score) for each response. In the list of assigned candidates, the candidates are sorted according to the total score received for the questionnaire.
A questionnaire can also contain responses that are identified as
expected responses
. The candidate must submit these responses in order to qualify as being suitable for a job vacancy. The program checks whether candidates submitted the expected responses and identifies these candidates as
suitable
.
You have generated a list of candidates.
In addition, you have either performed the process Display of Assignments to Succession Plan and obtained a list of candidates who are assigned to a selected succession plan, or you display the candidates who are assigned to a talent group.
You have sent out questionnaires in which all possible responses are assigned ranking points and certain responses are identified as expected responses, where relevant. For more information, see Creating a Questionnaire .
The questionnaires can be made available as follows:
You have sent one or more questionnaires to several candidates using the activities in the
Questionnaire
category.
You have used activities to send questionnaires to a manager to obtain information about candidates.
The candidates have either responded to the questionnaires themselves or you completed the questionnaire together with the candidate, for example, during a telephone interview.

The system calculates the scores resulting from the candidates’ responses to the questions in the selected questionnaire and checks whether candidates submitted expected responses.
The system shows the following columns in the list of candidates:
Total Score
The total score contains the total number of points for the responses submitted by the candidate.
Result
Percentage ratio of the score compared to the maximum score.
Suitability
Indicates whether a candidate gave the expected responses.
You have sorted the candidates by their responses to questions in a specific questionnaire. You can now decide which candidates are more suitable or less suitable for the vacant job(s), based on their responses in the questionnaire.
