1. What is an
Applicant Tracking System (ATS)? |
| An Applicant
Tracking System (ATS) is a software application that enables
the electronic handling of corporate recruitment needs. Most
systems include a corporate career site, allowing companies
to post jobs onto their own website, as a way to attract
candidates. Candidates may apply for specific jobs or post
their resumes generally to the company. Effective solutions
store this candidate data inside a database to allow for
effective searching, filtering, and routing of applicants.
The largest organizational benefit of an Applicant Tracking
System is improved productivity of the recruiting team.
Electronic handling of requisition and candidate data allows
significant opportunities to reduce inefficiencies through
automated processes. Further, the improved organization of
candidate information allows for quicker decision-making.
The end result is reduced cost and time per hire.

2. What is the
Recruiting Desktop? |
The Recruiting
Desktop is a data storage and workflow management system
which serves as the back-end of our free ATS. From the
Recruiting Desktop, you can:
- Create job
postings for your Corporate Career Site or purchase
postings to our network of more than 15,000 job boards.
- Store, search,
filter and forward candidate resumes.
- Request
interviews with potential candidates by e-mail.
- Add notes to
candidate resumes or to your To-Do-List.
- Generate
reports to track job posting and account activity, and
much more.

3. What is the
difference between network postings and "Featured"
US-Nickel-Jobs postings? |
| Featured job
postings on NickelJobs.net include a link using
your logo to your free Corporate Career Center on the
NickelJobs.net web site. Visitors to
NickelJobs.net will see your branded listing and
have an opportunity to view your current openings before
searching the network. You have complete control over
posting unlimited numbers of jobs for your organization.
Positions posted to the network are distributed through the
Carnegie Partners/Beyond.com network of more than
13,000 niche job boards. Network postings do not
include a logo and link to your corporate career center on
NickelJobs.net. Employers choosing a
network package can add a link and logo to
US-Nickel-Jobs for a discounted annual subscription
fee of $500.00. |
|
3. How do I
choose how my job postings are distributed? What are my
options? |
| You can choose the
options that best serve your needs. Under the Job
Distribution Options page, you can choose to post your job
for free to your Corporate Career Site, pay for premium
network placement, or both. If you choose premium network
distribution, you can pay per job posting or pre-purchase
products by contacting one of our representatives. After you
choose your distribution option, click on Save Job Posting.

4. When
candidates apply to jobs or submit resumes on my Corporate
career Site, where does their information go? |
| When candidates
apply to jobs or submit their resume, the information will
be available on your Recruiting Desktop. You can click on
"My Applicants" and either select all of your job applicants
or select the applicants for a specific job posting. Then
you will see the names of the candidates, their resume
title, location, salary expectation, application date, and
status. You also have the option to view their entire
resume. In addition to the Recruiting Desktop, if you enter
an apply email when posting your job, your candidate's
resume information will be sent to that email address.

|
5. Can I add
additional users to my ATS? |
| Yes. Each employer
account has the capacity to include up to five (5) users,
including the original user, plus up to four others. Each
additional user will be given a sub-account under your
original, main account. Users can log onto their respective
sub-accounts, and all activity can be monitored and tracked
by Manager/Administrator accounts (Reference question 12
below). |
|
6. How do I add
users to my ATS? |
| You can provide
other members of your recruiting team with access to a
centralized employer account. On the Recruiting Desktop, in
the Administration box you can click the Add/Change User
Roles link. From that area, employers can add new users to a
centralized, main account and designate roles for each
member. Once multiple users have been added, each user will
be emailed their own login (email address) and password for
a sub-account. The user will have to check their email, log
in to their new sub-account, and change their password to
activate their account. |
|
7. How do
multiple users log in to the same account? |
| Additional users
can login to their respective sub-accounts at any time using
their login (email address) and password information. All
activity can be monitored by the Manager/Administrator
account (Reference question 12 below). |
|
8. Can multiple
users be logged in at the same time? |
| Yes, multiple users
can be logged in to their respective sub-accounts at the
same time. |
|
9. There are
three roles I can assign to users in my employer account –
Recruiter, Manager and Administrator. What functions are
available to each role? |
Users who are given
the Recruiter role will only have access to their own
sub-account, and the job postings and applicants from that
sub-account. They will not see the new boxes on the
Recruiting Desktop labeled Manager View and Administration,
or have access to the functionality in those boxes.
Users who are given the role Manager will have access
to their own sub-account, as well as see the new Manager

or have access to any of the functionality of the new
Administration box on the Recruiting Desktop.

see and use all functions in all boxes of the Recruiting
Desktop. This includes the both the Manager View and the
Administration boxes, with the added ability to add users,
change user roles, and view account statistics. The user
who originally registers the main account will automatically

otherwise. |
