Holding USA Hire applicants

The ability to hold applicants in the Assessment Package prevents the sending of USA Hire assessment links immediately. This feature allows HR users to review minimum qualifications so that only qualified applicants are sent to the USA Hire platform. When a hold is removed, the HR user must select new USA Hire open/close dates so applicants have appropriate time to complete the assessments (the norm is 2 days).

To hold USA Hire applicants:

1. Select a Request Number in Pending Recruitment status from the Dashboard.
2. Click the Vacancy Number link in the Vacancy Created section.
3. Click the Assessment Package tab.
4. On the Assessment Package Settings page, click Hold Applicants.

    

   

    

5. The following confirmation message displays: "Applicants will not receive notifications regarding their USA Hire assessment status until the hold is removed. Are you sure you want to hold all applicants?".
6. Click Set Hold.
