Recruiting

Formerly Applications Flow

Public Application Hubs, reviewer votes, panel interviews with scorecards, references, Smart Scan review assistance, applicant email, and conversion to personnel.

  • 17 hub types
  • Weighted interview scorecards
  • Applicant-to-member handoff
Applicant record with reviewer votes and background check status
Why departments switch

What Recruiting fixes.

Publish a branded Application Hub for each pipeline, then work every applicant from one record: reviewer votes, documents, a panel interview with weighted scorecards, the background check, notes, and the decision. Applicants apply from any phone without an account and check their status in an email-code applicant portal. Approved candidates become personnel and start onboarding.

  • Every applicant gets a clear path
  • Reviewers vote, the majority decides
  • Approved data moves forward
01

Applications arrive everywhere

One public hub per pipeline, with every submission in one searchable list.

02

Reviewers lose context

Votes, scorecards, documents, notes, emails, and stage history stay on the record.

03

Applicants keep asking for status

An email-code applicant portal shows status, requests, and interview booking.

04

Approval means re-entering data

Convert an approved applicant into personnel and start onboarding.

How it works

From setup to a record you can trust.

  1. Build the hub

    Pages, sections, fields, stages, branding, dates, reviewer access, and automations.

  2. Receive submissions

    Applicants apply from any device, save and resume, and upload documents.

  3. Review and interview

    Assign reviewers with deadlines, collect votes, and run panel interviews.

  4. Decide and convert

    Approve, conditionally approve, waitlist, or deny — then hand the person to Core and Onboarding.

Interviews

Panels, weighted scorecards, availability applicants book themselves, no-show tracking, and automatic reminders.

References and documents

Questions

Recruiting FAQ

Is this the old Applications Flow?

Yes. Applications Flow is now called Recruiting.

Do applicants need a portal account?

No. Applicants use the public form and an email-code applicant portal.

Does Smart Scan approve or reject anyone?

No. It checks completeness, documents, and the rules you configure, and raises flags for a person to review. Decisions are always made by reviewers or an officer.

How are decisions made?

Assigned reviewers vote. When every required vote is in and a majority agrees, the application is decided; otherwise an authorized officer records the decision.
