 Process

SEARCH FOR JOBS

The candidate selects Job search to search for open reqs that have been posted to the Talent Gateway. A candidate can search by Keyword, Location, Title, Req ID, Location or Division, and other fields. When the search results display, candidates review the job information, and view the job titles that they are interested in.

Apply to a Job and submit a Resume or CV

The candidate selects Apply on a req and is prompted to create a login and build an account. Their account enables a candidate to track submissions and maintain multiple versions of a resume or CV online. The candidate starts the application and receives an approximate completion time. The candidate selects Add resume/CV to submit their resume, or selects Use my profile as my resume/CV if they have a profile

The resume or CV is parsed and the candidate confirms data extraction of resume or CV information, such as: First name, Last name, Position held, Employer, Educational Institute, and Degree. The maximum number of submissions that are allowed by a candidate on the Responsive Talent Gateway is limited to 100. There is no time restriction on this. An error message is displayed when the candidate tries to submit after the number of submissions reaches 100.

CHECK THE STATUS OF SUBMISSIONS

  • Candidates can check the status of their job submissions that are sent through a Talent Gateway by selecting Candidate Zone → Dashboard → Applications → Submitted Applications.

  • The job cards are removed across all Talent Gateway Submitted Applications sections when the Req Status is Closed, Canceled, or Deleted, AND it has been more than 90 days since the last HR status change.

  • The information that is contained within the Job submission status is updated every 24 hours.

  • HR Statuses assigned to candidates are masked with the name of the HR Status Category, making the terminology more candidate-friendly.

  • Candidates can only withdraw a submission to a job if their resume or CV is in that job’s req folder, the proper configurations are enabled, and the candidate is in a designated HR Status allowing them to withdraw.

  • When a candidate withdraws their submission, their HR status is updated automatically to a final status, and remains in the requisition folder.

  • When a candidate reactivates their submission, their HR status is updated in BrassRing to the status before the withdrawal.
