Introduction
As part of the hiring process, recruiters and sourcers often request input from hiring managers on potential candidates, either to assess their fit for a specific role or to determine if they are a fit for future opportunities. The Review Center in Evolve Recruitment Marketing (RM) serves as the central hub for managing these review requests. Reviewers can access a list of assigned candidates, view detailed profiles, and provide feedback using predefined statements or custom comments. Recruiters, in turn, can track the status of their requests and view submitted responses.
The main use cases for the Review Center are:
- Reviewers or hiring managers can see reviews assigned to them. For each candidate, feedback (standard or freeform) can be given.
- The recruiter can view the reviews they sent out and review the feedback provided. The recruiter can also provide free-form feedback to the reviewer and complete or cancel reviews as needed.
- Company administrators can view all reviews sent by all recruiters within the company.
