Recruiting

The people who want to work for this business: each opening and its stages, who applied and where they have got to, the interviews and what each interviewer thought, the offer, and the day a turned-down applicant's details are removed.

Getting started

These are the steps in the order somebody would do them. The same list is in the tool: press F1, or the control reading "How this works" at the top of the window.

1. Press New job and write its stages

Name it, say who is hiring for it, and write the stages a candidate goes through in your own words. The questions on its application form are yours too; the name, email, telephone and CV are always asked.

2. Take applications

Open the job and its form is published for your website to draw. Somebody who calls in is added at the desk. Anything that looks automated, or too many from one place in an hour, waits on its own list for a person to let it through.

3. Move people through your stages

Every move is written down with who made it and when, and two people moving the same candidate at once both keep their move.

4. Interview and score

Keyway offers only hours the whole panel is free for, counted against the visits they are booked on. Each interviewer fills in the scorecard you wrote and reads the others' only after submitting their own.

5. Offer, and hand over

The letter comes from your template. You send it and record the answer; an accepted offer starts their employment record in Keyway People. A turned-down applicant's details are removed on the day you set, and the fact that they were stays.

The screens, and what to do first on each

Each of these opens with nothing on it on a new install. What the tool says on that screen is what this section says, because it is the same sentence.

No job is open yet

A job is opened here with stages and an application form of its own. A hiring manager sees the jobs they hire for, and somebody on an interview panel sees the people they interview.

First thing to do: Open your first job and write its stages.

Nobody to show yet

A candidate is added here or arrives through the job's application form, and moves by pressing their card and choosing the stage. Applications a rule held back wait underneath.

First thing to do: Press New candidate, or open the job to take applications.

No interview is booked

An interview is booked from a candidate's record, only in an hour the whole panel is free. Each interviewer fills in the scorecard the business wrote and reads the others' only after submitting their own.

First thing to do: Book an interview from a candidate's record on the Pipeline.

Your rules for hiring

These apply to every job: when the details of somebody turned down are removed, the stages and scorecard a job starts from, the letter an offer is written from, and the hourly limit on applications from one place.

First thing to do: Set the number of days before a removal.
