Product: BrassRing

Manage Forms

  • Forms are used to capture and store all types of information that is related to your hiring process. Forms can be added, completed, and viewed, within BrassRing. Examples of forms include Phone screen, Interview evaluation, and Offer form. Similar to req forms, candidate forms are available in different language options.

  • User Type permissions determine whether you can view, update, and delete certain forms.

  • Fields that have an asterisk are required to be completed in forms.

  • Some fields on forms might be encrypted. This means that the information provided on that form is secure. Users with access to view or update a form with encrypted fields can view the decrypted value for the field.

  • Forms can be sent for someone else to complete. The action is called eLink blank form.

    • If applicable, when viewing a list of forms, select the history icon to display a PDF list of versions of the form along with dates and names of users that saved the form.

    • Organizations can opt to use eLink Form Approval to route completed forms for approval. Requests for approval are sent to all recipients simultaneously by using an eLink.

  • Form versions can be saved as PDF if a recruiter has the Candidates - View form history as pdf user type privilege and the candidate form has the View form history as pdf attribute selected. Saving forms as PDF preserves a chronological record of any changes that were made to the candidate form and saves each version of the form in PDF format. This feature is available only for Candidate forms. Req Subsidiary and Doc Subsidiary forms are not preserved in the system.

  • Candidate Forms can be configured to require approval. Updated Build 19.06.03. The approval process can be configured to restart the approval process if approvers are changed, or configured to allow approvers to be changed during the approval process.

  • Build 19.09.16. The job specific resume can be attached to candidate forms that require approval. If a candidate does not upload a resume, but selected Use my profile as CV during their application, the profile can be attached to the candidate form as a resume.

  • Build 20.04.06. Candidate forms are available in the Speed Browse view. To view forms in the Speed Browse view, select multiple candidates, and select Actions → Speed Browse. Any Forms are viewable in the Forms tab. When candidates with multiple forms are selected, the latest form is opened in Speed Browse.

  • Build 20.05.04. [View Form PDF] column is available in the [Forms list] on a candidates' Talent Record. Selecting the PDF icon opens the form as a PDF. This column is available to users with the user type privilege [Candidates – ‘View image PDF’ button on forms] is enabled. For more information, see Candidate Actions user privileges.

  • Build 20.06.29: The Submit option might be disabled if the form is required to be sent for approval.

  • Build 20.10.12: When a candidate is copied or moved from one requisition to another, the candidate's forms that are already completed can also be copied.

    A new column Copy Form is added next to the eLink column to the Forms List page. This column is displayed only when the user has the user type privilege Candidates - copy per req forms available. The Copy icon is displayed in the column only when user has Add/View My privilege for the form. With this privilege, a user can copy a form although they do not have view access to the form. When a BrassRing user selects the copy icon available in the new column, a new window opens. Users can select the reqs from a list of reqs that are presented in a multi-select control.
