Sending the questionnaire to a candidate
To send out a questionnaire,
- Go to the Candidates module and select a candidate
- Select Initiate Walton Screening
- Verify the details and click Initiate
- Under the Walton Screening Reports module, a new record will be created in which you will be able to check the report and the status of the screening.
An email will be sent to the candidate from Walton to fill in the questionnaire.
Alternate method:
A Walton WOTC questionnaire is automatically sent to the candidate's email once the status of the candidate is changed to Hired.
Note: If you choose "Hire and Lock", a record will be created in Walton Screening Reports without the candidate record being populated in the look-up.
Please make sure that the First Name, Last Name, and the Email Address of the candidate is available.
Note: You can turn the alternate method off by editing the Extension Settings and typing OFF under "Automate WOTC Screening initiation to Walton."
The results of the screening will be available in the Walton Screening Reports module.
