Match Job Lead to Candidates

'Match Job Lead to Candidates' is a custom Lightning web component which can be added to the Job Lead record page and which will automatically use the seven20__Advert_Description__c field on the Job Lead record to search for candidates whose CVs indicate they may be worth considering as an applicant.

The candidate matching utilises the same underlying technology as Match Candidates and will return up to ten candidates with the highest Match Score.

note

If the seven20__Advert_Description__c field is empty for a given Job Lead record, no search will be executed.

Filtering

Candidates who already have a Speculative CV for the relevant Job Lead will automatically be filtered out of the results. Additional filtering can be configured via a design time attribute by using a SOQL WHERE clause condition expression to apply criteria based on fields on the Contact object.

tip

This configuration option can be used to apply default exclusions, such as filtering out unqualified candidates based on their Candidate Status value.

note

The filtering does not support other SOQL clause types such as ORDER BY and GROUP BY.

Results

The results of the candidate matching will be displayed in a list similar to other split views in Seven20, sorted by their Match Scores. The fields displayed for the candidates can be configured by specifying a Contact field set via a design time attribute when configuring the component. If no field set is configured, the default display fields will be:

• Full Name
• Match Score
• Created Date
• Title
• Email
• Last Activity

note

Full Name and Match Score will always be displayed and do not need to be included in the field set when customising the display fields.

Each candidate's Match Score is displayed as a coloured pill based on bandings and colours which can also be configured via a design time attribute. The default bandings/colours are:

Range	Colour
> 66	Green
<= 66 & > 33	Amber
<= 33	Red

Actions

Candidates can be selected from the list, with the following actions available:

Name	Description
Submit Speculative CV	Allows for sending CVs to a Hiring Manager and creates a Speculative CV for the selected Contact record against a selected Job Lead
Add to Hotlist	Adds the selected Contact records to a selected Hotlist

There is also a refresh button which can be used to re-run the query, if required - for example, after using the 'Submit Speculative CV' action.

warning

The speculative CV action can not be used without a Hiring Manager being present on the Job Lead.

note

Users will require access to Speculative CVs & Hotlist objects to use their respective actions.
