Overview

The Decision Maker feature streamlines the final hiring decision process. It allows recruiters to formally request a 'Hire' or 'No Hire' decision from a designated stakeholder. Decision makers receive a consolidated view of all interviewer feedback and candidate details in one screen, eliminating the need for offline debrief meetings or scattered emails.

Audience

• Recruiters/Event Managers: To request decisions from stakeholders.
• Decision Makers: To review aggregated feedback and submit the final hiring call.

You can request a decision for a single or multiple candidates directly from the pipeline.

1. Select Candidate: In the Pipeline or Candidate List view, select one or more candidates.
2. Click Action: Click the Feedback button and select Request Decision from the dropdown menu.
3. Configure Request:
   • Select Form: Choose the specific 'Decision Feedback' form you want the stakeholder to fill out.
   • Add Decision Maker: Search for and select the person responsible for the final decision. You can select multiple decision makers if needed.
   • Set Expiry: Review the access expiration date (default is typically 7 or 15 days) and adjust if necessary.
4. Submit: Click Request Decision. The stakeholder will receive an email notification immediately.

• You can track pending requests using the 'Decision Pending' or 'Decision Submitted' filters in your pipeline if configured.

Submit a decision (for Decision Makers)

When a decision is requested, the Decision Makers receive an email notification with a secure link.

Additionally, feedback is shared with the decision maker (Shared feedback tab), where they can see the previous interview feedback and make a decision directly from that page.
3. Submit Decision:
   • Select your outcome (thumb-up/thumb-down).
   • Add any required comments or placement notes.
   • Click Submit.

FAQs

Q: Can I request a decision for a candidate who is not assigned to a position? A: No. The Request Decision action requires position context and is generally not available for candidates in Global Search who are not tagged to a specific job or event.

Q: Can I edit my decision after submitting it? A: This depends on your organization's settings. If enabled (‘limiteditfeedbackpostsubmit’ key), an 'Edit Decision' button will appear in the Feedback Center; otherwise, the decision is final once submitted.

Q: What happens if the decision maker does not have an account? A: You can only request decisions from active users within your organization who have the appropriate system access.

Q: Can I create a customized decision-maker form? A: Yes. We’ve introduced a new form type called Decision Feedback. By selecting Decision Feedback as the form type, you can create a customized form tailored to your decision-maker requirements.
