Explanation of term

The pool status is a property of application statuses. It ensures that keywords in the application are displayed as pools. These pools make it easier to quickly identify candidates with specific skills or attributes.


Configuration

See: Getting started with: Talent pool.


System behavior

  • Data protection and consent
    If candidates have not already agreed to the extended use of their documents when submitting their application, it is necessary to obtain consent before adding them to the pool. For more information, see: Getting started with: Talent pool.
  • Defining the pool status
    When creating or editing an application status, it can be defined as a pool status. Common names include "Pool Candidate" or "Pool Talent."
  • Final status
    The pool status is usually defined as a final status to avoid distorting reporting times and to trigger automatic deletion after a specific period.
  • Deletion periods
    The pool status often has a specific deletion period ("Delete after"), which should be coordinated with your data protection officer.
  • Add keywords
    When creating a pool status, the setting Add keywords: Yes is used to ensure that candidates are added to the corresponding pool via keywords.
  • Using existing keywords
    To avoid typos, it is recommended to use only already created keywords. Example: Instead of "MS Word" and "Word," a unified keyword should be used.
  • Display of keywords
    If an application status is marked as a pool status and an application is in such a status, keywords entered in the application are displayed in the "Pool Candidates" tab of the Applications menu item.


How our customers use this

All applications with a keyword in a pool status form the respective pool for that keyword. Customers use these pools to specifically find talents for certain requirements. Using the application list and the field schema configuration, relevant talent data can be clearly displayed and compared.
