Check out frequently asked questions below.
What are qualifications and how are they generated?
Qualifications are the must-have and preferred experiences or skills that you set when posting your job. Hiring Pro suggests qualifications from your job description as a starting point, and it is recommended that you always review and edit your job’s qualifications. These qualifications are different from the qualifications you may include in your job description and are not seen by job seekers. You’ll be able to review and refine the qualifications either through chatting with Hiring Pro or manually and can edit them throughout your hiring process.
How does Hiring Pro sort my applicants?
Hiring Pro sorts applicants based on your must-have qualifications and the number of preferred qualifications the applicants meet. You can adjust the number of preferred qualifications that “top fit” applicants need to meet at any time by asking Hiring Pro or updating the top applicant threshold manually.
- Top fit: Applicants who meet all the must-have qualifications and a set number of your preferred qualifications. You can adjust this threshold at any time.
- Maybe: Applicants who meet most but not all of your must-have qualifications.
- Not a fit: Applicants who do not meet most of your must-have qualifications, are from a different country than your hiring location, or fail one or more essential screening questions.
It’s important to review your qualifications and edit the top applicant threshold for sorting applicants.
How can I see which qualifications applicants meet?
Hiring Pro will show whether an applicant meets each qualification based on the applicant’s profile and resume. How the applicant matches each qualification is indicated with the following four icons:
- Match (green checkmark icon): the applicant meets the qualification
- Partial Match (half green checkmark icon): the applicant shows some evidence or matches part of the qualification
- Not a match (X icon): the applicant does not meet the qualification
- Cannot evaluate (question mark icon): the information was not specific enough to draw a conclusion or cannot be evaluated
What if I want to change the sorting of my applicants?
You can modify the top applicant threshold within your qualifications or by telling Hiring Pro in chat. Adjusting your qualifications or top applicant threshold will change the sorting of your applicants. You can also manually move applicants into a different list using Move to dropdown, and change the sorting of applicants within a list to be based on qualification match, date applied, or alphabetical order under Sort dropdown.
If I update my qualifications, will my applicants get resorted?
Yes, updating your qualifications will result in a re-evaluation of all applicants based on your latest qualifications, and applicants will be re-sorted. Hiring Pro will not move any applicants that you’ve already moved to different lists, but it will update to show how the applicant meets your updated qualifications. This process can take several seconds. Note that if you edit your qualifications, that will not change your job post. Applicants that have already been advanced or rejected may not have the new qualifications.
Note that if you change your qualifications, you may be legally obligated to create a new job post and start a new applicant pool.
Will my conversation with Hiring Pro be stored?
Your conversation with Hiring Pro is saved for the job you’re working on. You can scroll up at any time to review previous messages throughout the hiring process, even if you leave and come back later.
LinkedIn may also review chat interactions using automated systems or human review to help improve product quality and performance, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
