Qualifying Job Seekers

To help further gauge a candidate’s qualifications for a job, organizations can enable 'Weighted Qualification Scoring'. This is a method that scores a candidate solely on their Qualifications; rate and availability are not included in their calculated score.

For example, if there are 3 qualifications defined, each is worth 1/3 of the total score. For 4 qualifications, each qualification is worth 1/4 of the total score, and so on. If the Job Seeker were rated at 4 years of experience on a qualification with a 5-year requirement, the score would be 4/5, or 80%. However, if a candidate has 6 years of experience on a 5-year requirement, that qualification would be scored as 100%, NOT 120%.

In an effort to align their Qualifications with SAP Success Factors Skills, SAP Fieldglass provides customized assessment scales to evaluate job seekers. Former options for qualification assessments that reflected categories such as Certification, Duration, Points, Points and Duration, True/False, and Yes/No – can now be further simplified by utilizing the optional Admin menu item, 'Flexible Assessment Scale'. When enabling this configuration, the options will merely reflect Certification and Flexible. Flexible scales allow the buyer user to define each scale’s number of levels, so variance can be reflected for specific qualifications, also unlocking them within the Qualification Library.

Users with the appropriate permissions can manually Add Ratings to a job seeker at any time using the SAP Fieldglass 5-star rating method. They can also add comments to support their rating.

Ratings are visible to other buyer users with permission to see the job seeker, regardless of whether they can add a rating themselves or not. Adding a rating to a job seeker record is easy. The images below reflect how easily ratings and comments can be added to a Job Seeker record.

Some additional considerations around job seeker ratings:

• Job Seeker Ratings are not visible to suppliers
• The Average rating is the average of all the ratings completed by the buyer

In addition to the standard Job Seeker review and rating functionality highlighted in this course, SAP Fieldglass provides users with an additional optional evaluation wizard to provide a more intensive, quantifiable, and objective process to help ensure transparency and accountability when conducting final job seeker reviews and selections.

Users with appropriate Job Seeker - Manage permissions aligned to their user role can create specific evaluation Questions that can then be leveraged and associated with this functionality. As covered in earlier administrative course content, Questions are native configuration objects in SAP Fieldglass that can be associated to Decision Forms, Supplier Qualifications, or Wizards accordingly.

Once applicable questions are crafted, users can create a Wizard with a required starting point of Evaluate Job Seeker, and then associate all applicable questions to that object. After the Wizard is created with the evaluation questions, this interactive element can then be further associated to a Job Posting Template native object. Once associated, if a Job Seeker has an interview scheduled and conducted, the defined interviewers become default evaluators requested to also complete the Wizard evaluation on the Job Seeker.

Users can also choose to add evaluators to the submitted Job Seekers, who will be prompted to answer the defined assessment questions prior to a Job Seeker being able to be selected for hire. This functionality is also supported by SAP Fieldglass integration connectors allowing buyers to associate the evaluation wizard to Job Posting Templates as well as being a reportable field and element within the Job Posting Template and Job Seeker categories.
