ApplicantPro for ADP Workforce Now®

Job Questions

• Asking the right questions will bring you the right applicants. Every job is unique within your organization and your job questions should be the same. Within each posting, you are able to ask questions that are directly associated with the open position. The applicant responses make screening a snap.

Auto Disqualify

• Certain responses to your application questions are deal breakers. If an applicant doesn't meet the minimum qualification, they will not be hired, period. ApplicantPro skims this group off and puts them in a separate area, away from other more qualified applicants allowing you to see top talent in your applicant pool without clutter.

Ranking

• Because we allow you as many logins as you need, communication among HR and hiring managers is important. We allow you three ways to rank your applicants within the system and to collaborate on ranking applicants. Our 5 star ranking is perhaps the easiest. Each person involved with the process, simply clicks on the number of stars they believe an applicant should receive based on application, resume, interview, etc. Our hiring software will take a mathematical calculation and give you an average overall ranking. It is easy to see and easy to use. The other two are customizable features that can be used based on your own internal criteria.

Cognitive & Behavioral Assessments

• Resumes and interviews can only tell you so much about a candidate. Wouldn't you love to find candidates with the traits, temperament, and talent best suited for your available position? Our assessments are invaluable tools that give you the insight you need to know you are making the best decision possible. Already have an assessment software? Our team of experts are here for you! You can take comfort in knowing we can integrate your already existing assessment software into your ApplicantPro system.

Video Interviews

• Standing around the water cooler, I am sure you have a story or two to tell about terrible interview you sat through, right? So much time is spent... and wasted... conducting interviews with the wrong applicants. Some candidates look great on paper but in person might not fit your company's culture, or clearly don't have the skills represented on paper. One study found that half of all job candidates lie on their resume. Skip the terrible interviews by introducing video interviewing as part of your hiring process. Each candidate can answer the same set of questions through their smartphone or tablet on their time and then you and your team can review, rewatch, and rate at your convenience. You'll have less to talk about around the water cooler but more time for the right things.

Skills Testing

• Wouldn't it be nice to be able to see your applicants in action? To really see if the skills they claim to possess are legitimate skills of theirs? It is not only possible but it is an integrated feature in ApplicantPro. Skills testing such as typing speed tests (both words per minute (wpm) and 10 key), Microsoft Office, managerial and leadership skills, work place skills such as analyzing, attention to detail, language, grammar and math skills are all options for a deeper level of screening applicants.

Job Alerts

• Having a passive applicant pool is like an untapped gold mine. Any visitors to your career site can sign up to receive alerts for future job openings. In many cases this will allow you to fill your open positions more quickly and with a more qualified applicant pool that is looking for the right opportunity. This process is completely automated through the applicant tracking software and so you don't even need to think about it.

Rejection Letters

• Communication with applicants is hugely important to your brand and your ability to have positive future recruiting experiences... even if it isn't completely positive. Rejection letters provide closure for your applicants and can encourage them to apply again. We provide a professional, customizable template that can be emailed out to those not selected directly within the applicant tracking system.

Distribution to Managers

• Because we provide unlimited manager logins, you can easily distribute candidates to hiring managers and other key decision makers. These restricted logins allow them to see the applicant data, add notes, and even rank the applicants they review. This collaboration can decrease your time-to-fill, encourage communication, and spread the hiring responsibility out to all involved.

Confirmation Emails

• The world of applicant tracking systems has created some uncertainty among the general population of job seekers. When they hit submit, many are unsure where the application went and whether it even really arrived. With ApplicantPro, we take the guessing out of the application process by sending customizable, automated confirmation emails thanking your applicants and providing them with further information as needed. Communication makes everyone happy!

Communication Inbox

• Getting in contact with your applicants just got easier. Our new two way conversations platform is now included in all new and existing ApplicantPro systems. This powerful tool sends out text messages to get in contact with your most qualified applicants sooner. Stop waiting over 24 hours to hear a response, instead get in contact with your applicant in as little as 3 minutes! Our secure system will keep all of your company information private and let you keep track of conversations from the very beginning of your hiring process. By communicating faster you are hiring faster.

Application Abandon Tracking

• There it is again. That looming question mark. Are people not seeing my ad? Or are they starting the process and not finishing? And beyond that, what is it that makes them turn and run? We wondered the same things. So, we created a report to help you solve the mystery and to help you identify areas for improvement within your hiring process. Pull this report to see how many people started an application for your opening vs. those that completed the application. See where they abandoned and automate an email inviting them to return and finish their application. Solving this problem can boost your overall applicant flow and make you look like a rockstar.

Visitor Traffic Reports

• Are you looking for a data driven approach to your applicant flow? Wanting to make improvements and increase your overall visitor traffic? You have come to the right place. ApplicantPro has several reports that give you very specific and trackable information on visitors to your career site and even to the individual job postings. We show details such as clicks, bounce rate, web browser and other information that will give you a benchmark. Knowing this information will give you the confidence to set goals, adjust postings, and even to discuss the results with your executives.

Source Tracking

• So, you are seeing applicant flow but where are the applicants coming from? It seems like posting to 50 job boards is a good use of time, but is it really? Are all of your good and qualified applicants coming from one source? Having hard data can give you the confidence you need to make decisions in this area. This report will show where your applicants are coming from (example Indeed.com, your company career site, employee referral, etc.) and which are most effective in drawing that top talent to your ad.

Time-to-Fill Report

• Unfilled openings can hurt revenue and moral. This report breaks down the amount of time it takes for an open position to be filled by comparing the start date of a job listing against the hire date of an applicant. Knowing this can open many opportunities for improvement, strategic planning, and might just earn you a seat at the table with C level executives. Speak their language and you are in.

EEO & OFCCP Reporting

• Compliance is hugely important but can be tedious. Paper and spreadsheet tracking are cumbersome and can be flawed. ApplicantPro takes the guesswork out of tracking in this area. Run this report to see standard race and gender designation selected by each candidate at time of application. Avert the risk and stay compliant.

Applicant Log

• You have been tasked with keeping track of your organization's affirmative action plan. Manual tracking through spreadsheets is a drag but because of the individual nature of the plan, you don't know of another way. ApplicantPro helps simplify this for you by allowing you to customize your applicant flow log.

Applicant Tracking

• It is time to stop collecting resumes over email. You know it is true! Tracking applicants with spreadsheets is not reliable either. And filing cabinets? Yeah. Those are bad news as well. It is time for a change. It is time to optimize your hiring process with ApplicantPro's applicant tracking system.

Background Checks

• Does your applicant have a questionable past? Do you need to know what they did in a former life? Could you be taking a risk by hiring that applicant? You owe it to your company, fellow employees, and shareholders to know the answers to all of these questions. Find out who you are really hiring with ApplicantPro's background checks!

Assessments

• Pre-employment tests are a standardized measurement tools that help ensure a safe, productive, and satisfying work environment. Using them makes hiring a statistical and data based decision that helps reduce risk of a bad hire and all of the ramifications that come with it. Our pre-employment tests help you assess your applicants' skills, abilities, knowledge competencies, intellectual capacity, and personality characteristics against not only other applicants in your pool but also against the top talent within your organization.

Employee Onboarding

• Employee onboarding is the process of which a newly hired employee gets adjusted to his or her new role in the company. Onboarding includes not only performance aspects of their job, but legal paperwork, and the attitude of an organization as well. In ApplicantPro's effort to provide quality hiring software, we have teamed up with amazing partners that offer integrated onboarding solutions to our clients.
