How Do I Use the Job Application Builder on Recruiting Careers Pages?

Best practices about using job applications on Careers pages.

This article is for administrators.

 

Overview

The Application Builder tool allows you to customize your application and create different applications for different jobs. It is designed to fit your original Recruiting implementation.


Application Builder Best Practices and Recommendations

Applications are used to collect data that helps in making hiring decisions. 

  • They help determine if an applicant meets the minimum qualifications for the job.
  • It is important not to store sensitive or personal information about candidates in the application. 
  • Recruiting is not a System of Record and was not designed for that purpose.
  • Applications should gather information about a candidate to help you decide whether or not a person is a good candidate.

To confirm a person's identity, use a separate process for background checks. 

  • Create a separate process outside Recruiting using a preferred Background Check partner.
  • This ensures that only authorized users can access the sensitive information required for background checks.

After hiring an applicant, store sensitive information in another system of record with active security measures:

  • Including date of birth, social security number (SSN), and emergency contact information outside the Recruiting system
    • This is to maintain security and protect the privacy of the information.
  • Any additional information, such as background checks or sensitive personal information, should also be stored in another system of record with security measures in place.
