Off Limits Employment History

The Off Limits logic checks the relation between an Account and a Contact by leveraging Employment History records. Employment History records associate an Account with a CandidateClosed A person looking for a job. A candidate can also be referred to as a Job Seeker, Applicant, or Provider., and related data is also added (jobClosed A job (vacancy, position, role) is an opening for which a customer's client needs a placement. title, start date and end date of the job etc).

Employment History records are created in the system in the following scenarios:

Manually

The Off Limits calculation engine determines the current CompanyClosed A Company is the organization where the contact works. This can also be called the Client. (Account) of a candidate by checking the value in the ‘Account’ field on the Employment History record associated to that candidate that meets the following criteria:

  • ‘Current’ checkbox= True
  • ‘Verified’ checkbox= True

For example, to determine which ContactsClosed A contact (or client contact) is the person who the recruiter is working with at a Company. In Talent Rover a Contact can be either a Client Contact or a Candidate Contact. Both types of Contacts are stored in the same object (Contact). are to be Off Limits because they are employees of the Account ‘Acme’, the Off Limits engine will look for all Employment History records with the following data:

  • ‘Account’ field=Acme
  • ‘Current’ checkbox= True
  • ‘Verified’ checkbox= True

‘Current’ Account checks in Off Limits logic

Employment History ‘Current’ checkbox

This is the logic used to identify the ‘current’ job leveraging Employment History:

  • Exclude everything with a Start Date in the future
  • Exclude everything where the End Date is in the past
  • If the End Date is in the future - mark as Current
  • If the End Date is blank - mark it as Current only if there is a Start Date
  • If End Date is a string like ‘present’ - mark it as Current only if there is a Start Date

There can be more than one ‘Current’ Employment History record for the same Candidate

Employment History ‘Verified’ checkbox

‘Verified’ is unchecked by default and when the Employment History record is created as a result of parsing. Users can check it manually to validate that data has been reviewed and is correct (especially that the correct Account was selected)
