View and contact candidates

Click the Your Candidates menu.

This takes you to the Candidate Summary screen.

The table of Online Job Applicants summarises the number of applicants to each of your active job ads on SEEK. The date the Job Ad Expires and the number of Candidates from each zone are listed. If nobody has applied for a job yet, the Candidates column will show n/a.

You can sort the contents of this table in order of Job Ad Title, the date the Job Ad Expires or by the number of Candidates by clicking on an underlined column heading.

To show a table of Job Ad Candidates, click View in the View List column of the job of interest.

The table of Job Ad Candidates provides a summary of applicants for the job you advertised. It can be sorted in order of Name, the date the application was Received, the type of Resume, the Pass/Fail rating assigned by the SEEK Screen, Source and Status, by clicking in the relevant heading.

Click on an email address to send that applicant an email message.

You can click to view the details of candidates who applied with a SEEK online resume. To see the resume of a candidate who applied with an attachment, refer to their application email.

If the list of applicants is long, you may want to apply a search filter. Click Find Candidates. Applicants can be filtered by their Name, Email address or their Status. Press the GO button to apply the filter. To go back to the Find Candidates version without the filter, click Show All Candidates.

If there was a Screen attached to the job ad for which the candidate applied, you can click on the Screen column and see each candidate's response.

Five buttons are beneath the table of candidates:

Select one or more applicants by ticking their checkboxes, and then press the appropriate button for the group:

• FLAG ‘NO' – if they are unsuitable for your job check this box
• PRINT – print the SEEK resumes. This is available to candidates with a SEEK Resume only, not those whose resume was posted as an email attachment.
• FORWARD – forward details of the candidate to a colleague. Only candidates with SEEK resumes can have their details forwarded in this way. For others, you will need to refer to attachments in their application email.
• EXPORT – export information to a spreadsheet (CSV format) for use with your own software. Check the tick-boxes next to the applicants whose details you want to export and click the EXPORT button.

• EMAIL – send an email message to the candidates.

This is sent as bulk email to all candidates whose applications you have selected. The jobseeker only sees their name in the email.

Names and email addresses of candidates are automatically extracted from their SEEK online application form and used to personalise the email sent to each jobseeker.

The From field allows you to customise the name of the person or business who issued the email.

As you perform each of these actions, the Status column will automatically update to help you keep track of these events.
