Skilling Candidates in CV / Resume Workbench

Skilling the Candidate

The Skills tab in the right pane is more than just a list of skills. It is a tool that enables you and other members of your organization to assess the skills of the candidate.
If you do not see the Rate Skills section on the right, click on the Rate Skills icon next to the Sort Control, or click one of the NR (Not Rated) buttons.

Skilling the candidate is as simple as dragging the selector left and right to save your assessment of their skills.

The sorting control provides four standard views.

The initial selection is the Skill Name A-Z setting, which lists skills in alphabetical order. The Skill Name Z-A setting lists skills in reverse alphabetical order. Both settings make sense when there are no ratings.

The Rating High-Low setting enables you to display the candidate's strengths at the top of the list. The Rating Low-High setting enables you to display the candidate's strengths at the bottom of the list.

Customizing the Skills Tab

A system administrator can enable and disable options that control various features on the Skills tab. If your Skills tab does not look the same as the sample screen above, it has to do with the way your tab is customized.

1. Select Setup > Develop > Custom Settings.
   The Custom Settings screen is displayed.

2. Click Manage to the left of the Assessments label.

3. Click Edit to the left of the Assessments label.
   The following screen is displayed.
   

   The options include:

   Default Primary	This setting controls which rating is displayed on the skill when several different people rate a skill. If it is set to true, the skill will display the first rating; if false it will display an average of all ratings.
   Enable Comments	When enabled, the Add Comment option is added to the Skills tab under each skill. This allows you to comment on individual skills.
   Enable Like/Dislike	When enabled, the Like/Dislike option is displayed on the Skills tab. When you click on it, the oval turns green ; click again and the oval changes back to white .
