How to set Eligibility Criteria in Zappyhire?

The candidate eligibility check feature in Zappyhire identifies suitable candidates based on predefined criteria. These criteria are defined, and candidate data is gathered for each criterion during the application process via the job application bot. Candidates meeting these requirements are advanced to the screened stage, while those who do not meet the criteria are marked as ineligible.

Setting Eligibility Criteria:

Step 1: While creating a new job, navigate to the third step titled "Candidate Eligibility."

Automated Criteria: If the Experience and Minimum Academic Qualifications are provided in the Basic Details section (1st step of job creation), those values are are automatically added as eligibility criteria.

Step 2: To add new criteria, click on "Add Eligibility Criteria."

Choose from a list of values including System fields (Courses, Certifications, Gender, Primary Skills, etc.) and custom fields added in Settings (as type Candidate). Assign eligibility values to screen candidates effectively.

Note: Ensure the relevant questions are added in the Job Application Bot section to collect candidate details for comparison.

Step 3: To remove a criteria, click the delete icon next to it, and confirm by selecting "Delete" on the pop-up.

Step 4: To edit a criteria, click the edit icon, modify the value, and save using "Save Criteria."

Mandatory Criteria: "Experience" and "Minimum Qualification" cannot be deleted. Additionally, the Experience Range, Minimum Qualification, Course and Certification values are fixed and editable only via the Basic Details section.

Applying Criteria to Candidates:

Once criteria are set and the job is created, candidates applying via the Job Application Bot on the career page are automatically screened. Data is collected from candidates based on each criterion set, and those meeting the criteria move to the Screened stage, while others go to the Ineligible bucket. Recruiters can manually move the ineligible candidates to the Screened stage if required.

Editing Eligibility Criteria:

Step 1: Open the Edit Job page for the relevant job.

To access the edit job, click on the three dots located in the top right corner. From the dropdown menu, select the “Edit Job” option. This will open the Edit Job pop-up window.

Step 2: Navigate to the 3rd step (Candidate Eligibility) and add, remove, or edit criteria as required.

Step 3: Save changes by clicking "Save and Continue" for further edits, or "Save and Close" to finalize. 

Changes apply to new candidates applying after the modifications.
