Toolbar Buttons

The following Toolbar Buttons are included:

Internal Interview

Using the Internal Interview button triggers the creation of an EventClosed A Salesforce term used to describe an activity that involves invitations being sent out and calendar appointments being made., with a record type of Internal Interview, against the Candidate and Job. A Send Out V2 record is also created in the background with a record type of Internal Interview.

There is no stage update when creating an Internal Interview using the button. This is different than moving the Candidate to Internal Interview via the Move Forward or Move Backward button or by clicking the Stage to move a record. When those methods are used an update to the Stage field on the Application V2Closed A BH4SF custom object introduced when new data model ATSv2 was added to the core product record is triggered.

An email is sent only to the Interviewee and includes details such as Interview Date, Time, and Duration. It is also possible to attach files from the Job or Account record as well as from the user's desktop.

InterviewerClosed Usually the client/hiring manager taking part in a Job interview. A recruiter can also be an Interviewer’s look up field: Interviewer(s) will default to the logged in user, however, this can be replaced with different internal user(s) who will conduct the interview.

Internal users who do not have edit/create permission on the selected job won't appear in the Interviewer(s) look up filter. This is because when the Event is created it is assigned to the Interviewer and related to the Job. If the Interviewer's access to the Job is restricted the Event cannot be created.

Email

The Email button allows users to send an email to Candidates they have selected in the Bullhorn ATS. A maximum of 200 Candidates can be selected at one time.

You access this screen by clicking the Email icon.

After clicking the button, users will see the standard Send Email page with the To field pre-populated with the names of the selected Candidates:

  • Templates are supported (text, custom, and HTML types) and you can pick one using the Select Email Templates drop-down. The logged in user will see all templates that are in folders shared with them as long as they are marked as "Available to use".
    • Only merge fields from the Job and Contact objects will be populated correctly. Click the Preview button to verify fields are displayed. If you select multiple Interviewers, the name merge field in the preview will only populate with the name of the first Interviewer.
  • Text can be entered in the Email Body field if templates are not used.
  • Attachments can be added using the New Attachment button. You can upload documents from your computer, or you can select from the list of documents that you own or are shared with you within your Org. You can also retrieve files from Job and Account records.

The fields that can be added and removed come from the following Field Set:

The set of fields shown on this page can be customized. Different sets of fields can be created for the different Closing Report record types. The fields you see are dependent on the Record Type of the Job.

Admin Note:

We support both record types that come with the package as well as custom record types. To configure the Closing Report Field Set that is referenced on the Mass Placement page, follow the steps below:

  1. If required - Create a Field Set against the Closing Report object. This will not be necessary for Consulting and Permanent Closing Reports, as the related field sets are included in the package:
    • For Consulting Jobs: Setup > Build > Create > Objects > Closing Report > Field Sets: Consulting Mass Placement.
    • For Permanent Jobs: Setup > Build > Create > Objects > Closing Report > Field Sets: Permanent Mass Placement. It is necessary for custom record types.
  2. Go to Setup > Custom Metadata Type > Mass Placement Mapping. From here, you will need to create a Custom Metadata Type record per record type.

  • Go to Setup > Custom Metadata Types > Closing Report Mapping [Manage Records] and click New.
  • Create a Custom Metadata Type record for each field you want pre-populated. Enter the API name of the Closing Report field and the API name of the corresponding Job field.

Entering Data

There are a few options available to your users depending on the data that should go into Closing Reports.

  • No editing: All Closing Reports are created with prepopulated values which is the same for all Candidates. To do this, click Save All.
  • Edit or populate any of the fields and apply them to all Candidates: Click the top left checkbox to select all Candidates and the Mass Update row will become editable. Values you enter in any of the fields in the Mass Update row will propagate to the necessary fields for every selected Candidate. When finished, click Save Selected.
  • Enter different values for selected individuals or groups of Candidates: Select the Candidate(s) and enter the desired value in the relevant top row field. Repeat this as required and click Save Selected.

You have the option to select all Candidates for a mass placement, regardless of the number selected. However, only the first 500 Candidates will be shown on the Mass Placement page. Once the first 500 have been placed and a Closing Report has been created for each of them, they will disappear from the page and the remaining Candidates will be visible and will be ready to be processed.

Quick Add

Click the Quick Add button to add a Candidate to a Job. In the pop-up window, choose a Candidate from the drop-down and select the Stage you want to send the Candidate to. After doing that, click the Quick Add button.

Admin Note:

Move Back / Move Forward

You can easily move Candidates from one stage to another using Move Back and Move Forward. Check the box for one or more Candidates and then click either the Move Forward or Move Backward button.

The menu choices are listed below:

If Candidates in different stages are selected, you will only be able to move forward to the most advanced stage. As an example, if you select a Candidate in the Application Stage and another Candidate in the Send Out stage, the Move Forward menu will only display Move to Send Out, Move To OfferClosed The fourth Stage of Job application flow. This is when the candidate is offered the position (details about salary, locations etc are shared and candidate decides if he wants to take the job), and Move to Closing Report. The same logic applies to Move Back.

Candidates in the Application and Closing Report stages are ignored with the Move Back actions, even if they're selected. This also applies to Candidates in the Closing Report stage if Move Forward is used.

Filter

Use the Filter button to restrict the list of Candidates to display only active Candidates (or only rejected Candidates). To see the entire set of Candidates for the Job, click the All item again.

Reject / Unreject

To reject one or more Candidates, make your selection and then click the Reject / Unreject button. In the pop-up window, review the name of the Candidate, enter a Rejection Note (optional), and click the Reject / Unreject button. This pop-up is customizable.

Admin Note

To select the fields you want to see on the Reject/Unreject pop-up page, add and remove fields from the following Field Set:

  • Setup > Build > Create > Objects > Application V2 > Field Sets: ApplicationRejectionFieldSet.

In the out of the box configuration, the Rejection Notes field is a text field and and the value entered there is stored on the Application V2 record. This field gets updated every time reject/unreject is used (the previous value is overwritten), but historical data is saved on an Application History record in the background for every reject/unreject action. This is where the Rejection Notes are captured.

If you replace the TR1__Rejection_Notes__c text field in your configuration, make sure to have the same field on the Application V2 page layout and Application History page layout to have the data mapped correctly.

To cancel a previous rejection and restore the status of a Candidate to Active, select the Candidate and click the Reject / Unreject button. You will see a check in the Rejected box on the pop up. To confirm, click the Reject / Unreject button in the pop up-window. Optionally, add a note to explain the reason for reverting the rejection.

It's possible to select multiple Candidates for the Reject/Unreject action, including a mix of rejected and active Candidates. The pop-up window will have a section for each selected Candidate, showing the status of each. When the Reject/Unreject button is used, the correct action is performed for each.
