TAM - General Q&A
Below are some questions regarding TAM processes from end users along with the answers and any applicable screenshots. This information is shared as an additional resource.
Reviewing the Job Applicants
Q: What is the difference between "Recruiting Actions" and "Applicant Actions"?
A: Applicant Actions affect the overall applicant record rather than a specific application. Examples include; Forward Applicant, Send Correspondence and Link Applicant to a Job.
Recruiting Actions relate to an application for a specific job opening (or an application without a job opening). Examples include; Edit Disposition, Reject Applicant and Prepare Job Offer.

Recruiting Actions
Q: When using the Prepare Job Offer option, is there an approval workflow before offer is sent to the applicant?
A: Yes
Q: In the Edit Disposition Section, is there a definition or example of use for each of these options?
A: Dispositions identify an applicant's status with regard to the recruiting process for a particular job opening (or for an application with no job opening). Actions for reviewing, screening, interviewing, making offers and hiring automatically assign appropriate dispositions.
Q: What happens when selecting these other options? Are there any notifications that go out to the hiring committee or the applicant?
A: There isn't a notification that goes out, but they're able to see where the applicant is in the hiring process. Anyone with the appropriate roles will have access to the applicant list.
