Managing candidate's evaluation forms and comments across multiple positions

Hello,As we move candidates between different positions, we've noticed some confusion arising from the amount of information available. There are numerous comments and evaluation forms from previous roles that candidates were considered for, which can create a blurred perception for new interviewers.Is there a way to either mark which job a comment or evaluation form refers to, or to hide historical data from previous positions?Best regards,Joanna

Searching through CVs

According to https://www.personio.com/hr-lexicon/recruitment-tools/, Personio allows you to “search large numbers of CVs in a few minutes or less”, but I am struggling to find this search feature.  We often need to be able to search through all CVs - eg you see a phrase in an applicant’s CV and think “I remember seeing something similar in another applicant’s CV the other week”.  Is there a way to do this?

Personio Previous Job Postings not fully visible

Hi Community and Personio team, We are having problems visualizing the details of previous postings for a Position we’re hiring for.When we follow the steps of “Select the Promotion tab and Under My postings, you can click on a posting to see more details” the window is very small and we cannot see the information about previous postings from earlier in the year (you cannot scroll down in the window or maximize it).Not sure if this is a bug, or limited for as specific reason, but it poses an obstacle to get data to support some of our reportings, if you have any ideas of a solution to visualize all the previous postings without it being affected the the “Job Board Details” format, please let me know.

Hiring request

Hi everyone, We would like to manage the job approval process in Personio. Unfortunately, right now this is still an email process. We would prefer a workflow in which the template for the hiring request is integrated and the hiring manager and HR can approve within Personio. The approved job would then be the basis for the job advertisement.How do you handle the job approval process in your company?Do you have a smart workaround for the hiring request that you can share? Many thanks,Olivia

Emphasise attribute in bold in job description?

 Liebe Community,  die Stellenbeschreibungen sind in Attribute aufgeteilt, mit denen man seine Stellenbeschreibung aufteilen kann nach Qualifikation etc.Schade finde ich, dass man die Attribute nicht bold setzen kann, damit sie mehr auffallen und sich von dem restlichen Text abheben. Oder ist dies evtl. doch möglich? Merci & GrüßeNico Dear Community,  The job descriptions are divided into attributes, which you can use to categorise your job description according to qualifications etc.I find it a pity that the attributes cannot be set in bold so that they stand out more and stand out from the rest of the text. Or is this possible after all? Merci & regardsNico

Bulk rejecting candidates without duplicating to any who have already been notified.

Hello everyone.  I need to bulk reject some candidates however, on our hiring team, some people have rejected candidates with email and some without. I want to email those who haven’t received one but can’t figure out an efficient way of finding those who haven’t received a rejection email without flicking through all applications to check the email tab. Is there a way to sort candidates to help with this? TIA 😁 Emily

Error while applying for a job

Hi, I’m facing this error message whenever I apply for a job position in a company that uses Personio. What is the reason for this error. Is it that you can only apply for a role only once. Sometimes these roles get posted again after few months or weeks,

Candidate email // Corporate email

Dear Community ,we faced the following issue when moving someone from candidate status to employee status (hiring). If we keep the email address of the candidate, it will appear as email (at us the unique ID) =company email and not private email, which we do not want (because it generates a request automatically to create an account in our travel tool). As solution before changing to employee status, we changed the candidate email to company email - but as a result, the recruiter could not communicate with the candidate via Personio (via candidate email address ). The company email address is valid as of the first working day...What could be the solution for our issue?Thanks all for your response, help! bests, LegoMD

Saved Evaluations disappear

All the time when I save my evaluation drafts they disappear if I for example go to work from office. I do not submit them,  but i save them as a graft, and then they are just gone. Why is this happening? Please help to prevent this.

"Offer" doesn't appear as the final stage in data export

Hi, We’re trying to get a better understanding of our offer acceptance/rejections and unfortunately in the csv export it doesn’t show “offer” as a final stage, only the last stage a candidate was in before making an offer. Is there anyway to get the data on candidates who have reached the offer stage in the process? Thanks!

Closing job vacancy

In The Netherlands most job vacancies have a closing date. After this date you cannot apply anymore and the selection process will start. I can only choose to unpublish or archive. It would be nice to be able to add a closing date to (also visible for applicants) and be able to process this way in Personio.

How to automatically add recruiting team to LinkedIn postings?

Hello,I’ve noticed that occasionally on LinkedIn it will say who the recruiter is for the role. Since we have LinkedIn already integrated into Personio (and the hiring team in Personio is already added), I am wondering how (assuming its possible) to have this information automatically be included in the LinkedIn posting. Any answers or help would be greatly appreciated :)

Auto rejection in Personio

Hey I just wanted to ask if personio pre-screens and auto rejects the candidates, for instance our main criteria for one position is 5 years of experience so Personio can just pre screen and send rejection to candidates who don’t meet this experience criteria. Looking forward to hear!!

Message replies do not appear in Personio

Hello,I am a pretty new Personio user, so can not figure out how to change the Settings in the Recruiting Messages section.When a Message to the candidate is sent through Personio and the candidate replies, the reply does not appear under the candidates profile/application and it is not under Unassigned Messages. Only the recruiting team members who get emails sent to the “Custom email address” defined in Personio “Recruiting email settings” forwarded to their regular mailbox can see the candidate replies. Under the candidate’s profile in Personio, the conversation looks one sided.What setting need to be fixed, so that the whole conversation/messages would appear under each candidate’s profile in ”Messages” section?
