  • Reporting on how candidates scored against an Ideal Candidate score is also possible.

Empowering users to retrieve and paste comments from existing Evaluation Criteria records (from other Jobs) into the current Evaluation Criteria modal for a selected Candidate is a big step forward. The beauty of this feature is that it's configured in the customer's Salesforce Org using custom flows, making it a seamless and intuitive experience.
