Symptom
How 'Required', 'Disqualifier', 'Score', 'Weight', and 'Required Score' parameters work in pre-screening questions feature of recruiting and how 'Rating' is calculated for the applicants based on their answers to questions.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Resolution
1. "Required" option can be selected which questions are required when candidates apply to the requisition.
2. "Disqualifier" option can be selected which questions are disqualifiers.
If a question is selected as a disqualifier, applicants who don"t provide a correct answer are automatically disqualified.
Free text questions can"t be selected as disqualifier questions since there"s no way for the system to identify a correct answer.
3. "Score" option can be selected which questions are considered into total points.
You can also set the Weight for each question.
Note: The total weight of all the questions need not be 100. It could be "<" or "=" or ">" 100
Rating Calculation per question = [Points per "Score" enabled question/Total "Score" enabled question points] * 100
4. If "Required Score" is configured, then the candidate whos rating belows the "Required Score" will be automatically disqualified.
It"s not recommended to change the job requisition"s questions when it is already posted on career sites and candidates have started applying for it because the changes will affect the existing candidates who have already applied for the job.
If it is really necessary to change the question options, a confirm window will pop-up and show X applications effected. Recruiter can utilize the options "Yes" or "No".
- "Yes" will change the Status and "Rating" of existing candidates who have already applied for the job.
- "No" will not change the Status and "Rating" of existing candidates who have already applied for the job.
"Score" and "Weight" do not affect the "Rating" and score of a candidate for a disqualifier question. If the question is answered correctly the candidate will not be auto disqualified. If the question is answered wrongly the candidate will be auto disqualified.
