Creating a list of skills required for your roles allows all members of the recruitment team to evaluate candidates in the same areas. This structured approach simplifies the process of narrowing down potential candidates and generates a star rating for each candidate.

A list of skills can be added in the Settings area, where they can be assigned to jobs during the job creation phase. Choosing which skills to assign to jobs can be made even easier with occy AI; with the click of a button, occy AI can suggest relevant skills listed in your skills library to add to the job.

Star ratings can be from one to five, and a candidate is given a star rating based on their combined ratings against each skill.

 Follow the steps provided below to outline and use your list of skills.

Creating A Skills List

• Select Settings from the left menu of your dashboard.
• Once in Settings, open Job Settings, followed by Skill Settings. Here, you can add a list of skills relevant to the job types you are recruiting for.
• Click the Add Skill button at the top of the page.

• Enter the name of the skill and click Save. Save time when creating your skill library by clicking the Add Another button to add multiple skills at once.

The skills will now appear in the Skills library. 

Once you have added the skills, they can be added to jobs, where users can give candidates a star rating for each skill.

• Edit or delete skills using the pencil and bin icons next to each skill.

Adding Skills to a New Job

When creating a new job, skills can be added at the second stage - Configuration.

• Click the dropdown arrow on the Skill Set section and then click Add Skill.

• Next, choose the relevant skills from the dropdown menu.

• Click Add to save the skills.

• If you missed a skill when creating the list within Settings, you can click the Manage button to be redirected to the Skills Settings area to add more.

Adding Skills to an Existing Job

Skills can be added to a job that has already been created by editing the job.

•  Get started by navigating to the Jobs section from the main menu.

Evaluating Candidates

Once your job is live and begins to attract candidates, each member of the hiring team can assess each candidate.

• Open the job and click on a candidate's profile.

• Select the Evaluations tab, followed by the Skills button. Here you will see the list of skills that were added when creating the role.
• You can then rate the candidate's skills out of 5 stars. You will see an average of all ratings to the right of the candidate's name.
