FAQs
Q. Can multiple Automations be configured?
A. Yes, Administrators can create multiple Automations. However, only one automation can be processed when Closing or Filling a requisition.
Q. Why is a Service User Account needed during the Automation configuration?
A. Evolve ATS (Jobvite) uses Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) to grant/restrict access to Candidate Messages, Disposition, or move a candidate’s Workflow state. As a result, the Service User Account’s RBAC configuration will be used instead of the recruiters.
Q. Can I stop an Automation process after I click Run?
A. No. You cannot cancel the automation process once it is initiated.
Q. Is the Automation limited to the number of applications it can update (Disposition, Email candidate, or update a candidate’s Workflow state)?
A. No. This feature is designed to handle high-volume requisitions.
Q. Will the Automation process update a candidate already Rejected/Inactive?
A. No. The Automation feature will only process Active candidates.
Q. How will a recruiter know when the Automation process was processed?
A. The system will send an automated email to the recruiter advising them that the process has been completed.
Q. Can I select a different Disposition value for a sub-set of candidates?
A. No. The Automation Engine will set the Disposition Value as configured by your Admin. We recommend configuring the Automation Engine to set the Disposition to something like Other Candidate Selected.
